Thomas Robert Malthus had published two principles which are Principle of Population and Principles of Political Economy. Principle of population that under Malthus’s population theory published on 1798 years and an extended version also published on 1803. However, The Theory of Market Gluts is included in principle of political economy which published in 1820. Malthus’s population theory explains that extent of that poverty and problem can be obviously seen between the lower class of every residents. This theory is unchecked; grow up with geometrically in population growth and food supply rose up in arithmetically. For example, population trends to grow up at the rate of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and etc, however the rate of went up of living is …show more content…

William Godwin distributed an important book which named as An Enquiry Concerning Political Justice and Its Influence on General Virtue and Happiness in 1793. This book emphasized on laissez-faire and voluntary wellbeing and sense of justice of personally. William Godwin stated that population limit was set will cause the humanity reject to generate in future. The Marquis de Condorcet (1743-1794) is another scholar who published an influential work about population. His most influential work is Sketch of the Intellectual Progress of Mankind. His work created based on three basic principles which were (1) equality among nations, (2) equality of individuals within nations, and (3) the perfectibility of humanity. This work encourage that all nation should be equality not matter male or female. However, existing laws and organization on that time encourage inequalities. Population rose up when all people received things in equality and food of supply went up rapidly too. These two of published theory of population are opposed with Malthus’s Population Theory. In my opinion, theory population of William Godwin and The Marquis de Condorcet unreality to implement compare with Malthus’s Population Theory because William Godwin emphasized on anarchism and The Marquis de Condorcet emphasized on equality among all nations on its times. A country should have government to manage and equality among nations is unfair to the person who has the ability to earn more on its

Document 1 introduces Thomas Malthus, an economist who claims that the populations of Europe are growing at too quick of a rate to maintain. Malthus believes that regulating the populations of Europe will improve the livelihoods of citizens. Malthus explains, “poverty has little or no relation to forms of government, or the unequal division of property; and as the rich do not in reality possess the power of finding employment and maintenance for all the poor.” It makes sense that Malthus’ claim should go against the three other groups ideas of changing the government or the rights of the people because he is simply maintaining his belief that regulating population will improve livelihood. In Document 2, David Ricardo claims that, “wages should be left to the fair and free competition of the market.”

Individuals are the building blocks of society, but they can’t dictate the way society flows. In the short stories “The Lottery,” by Shirley Jackson and “Harrison Bergeron,” by Kurt Vonnegut, and the theories of enlightenment philosophers, individuals can not change society. Tessie Hutchinson from “The Lottery,” tried to persuade her village that the tradition was wrong, but she faced death. While, Harrison from “Harrison Bergeron,” tried to overthrow society's ideas, through atrocious actions. The philosophers believed that the governors of society should be responsive and secure rights for the people.

Introduction: After the prolonged and disparaging Thirty Years War, philosophers took up a new notion of life and how, what and why things are the way they are in the world. Many also took into effect believing in scientific reasoning’s over biblical outlooks, looking for logical answers to all the many mysteries of the world and the afterlife. Enlightenment philosophers also constructed ways in which they thought people should act. For example, philosopher Voltaire explained his reasons for how “people should be citizens of the world” (Voltaire, “Patrie, in the philosophers dictionary”, 1752). THESIS:

The Enlightenment period gave way to many great thinkers, known in this era as philosophes, who fought to improve society through reason and their influential statuses. The main idea of Enlightenment thinkers, such as John Locke, Voltaire, and Mary Wollstonecraft, was to change perspectives on topics of interest, that were previously discredited, in society. John Locke, who wrote the Second Treatise on Civil Government of 1690, founded the ethical idea that all men were entitled to their natural rights. Natural rights, from John Locke’s point of view, could be defined as fundamental principles possessed by each man that is set forth by nature itself. The idea of all men being equal in “what state all men are naturally in, and that is, a state of perfect freedom to order their actions, and dispose [manage] of their possessions and persons, as they think fit, within the bounds of nature…

Chapter 2 titled “The Law of the Few,” changed my perspective on how I see people’s capabilities in society. This chapter of The Tipping Point introduces readers to three types of people, connectors, mavens, and salesmen. Gladwell tells the story of Paul Revere and William Dawes who set out to accomplish the same goal, but ultimately the success rate for Revere is much higher. Gladwell uses Paul Revere’s to exemplify exactly what it is that mavens do, which is providing change through information and ideology. First off we are introduced to connectors, which in Gladwell’s perspective is “people with a special gift for bringing the world together”

Societies in a “hunting and gathering” stage have lower populations than societies in “agricultural societies” for reasons as explained in the Demographic Transition Model. Stage one societies (hunting and gathering) have low populations due to their inconsistency in having food to eat. They reproduce less children for fear of not having enough resources to sustain them. Stage two societies (agricultural revolution) have a sudden boom in population growth due to people educating themselves on how to grow food and make better choices as far as raising a family goes. It is not uncommon for families in this stage to have 6-8 kids

In his book, Population Bomb, he argued “through his life that there is an impending doom containing overpopulation and starvation”(Ehrlich 18). Let the facts show that the world has taken the right path toward sustaining life and sending us towards prosperity. In R. Engelman article “Population and Sustainability: Can We Avoid Limiting the Number of People” Engelman’s key argument was that “slowing the rise in human numbers is essential for the planet--but it doesn't require population control”(Engelman 49). Placing a cap on the population will force consequences as

Jonathan Swift’s essay, A Modest Proposal, is famous for satirically suggesting that people start selling their babies for food, which would logically solve the overpopulation and starvation problem in the world. Despite this less than feasible solution, overpopulation is a serious problem in the world, given that there are over seven billion people alive currently. The excessive amount of people living in this world has an adverse effect on both society and the environment. The environment has been destroyed by human pollution and is depleted of natural resources due to the sheer amount of materials needed to support such a large population. In fact, many plastic water bottles used by people are discarded as trash and pollute bodies of water (Soechtig & Lindesy, 2009).

As Roy Porter reiterated in The Enlightenment 2001 (Document 5), many of Europe’s great minds concluded that questioning faith in the Bible and relying on other thinkers was not the answer to understanding man’s history and destiny. Man’s nature was not properly known by the latter part of the seventeenth century and it was unanimously decided that using the scientific method was the only way to gain full knowledge of it. In Progress of the Human Minds 1793 (Document 2), Nicolas de Condorcet believed that if the citizen was taught everything he needed to know to be able to employ his labors, acknowledge his rights and be able to exert them, and to no longer be the dupe of the church, then the result would be greater progress as a society. Adam Ferguson, in The Progressive Character of Human Nature 1792 (Document 12), believed that for society to continue to improve and grow, the older generation must continue to pass on their knowledge for the generations to come. Education was thought to be a necessary tool during the Enlightenment in order for the progression

Population size may vary as individuals are born or immigrate and other may die or emigrate. One model of population growth is the exponential Population Growth; which is the accelerating increase that occurs when growth is unlimited. It predicts that the larger the population is, the faster it grows. This growth model is normally for short lived organisms due to the introduction of a new or underexploited environment. Next, there is the Logistic Population Growth.

The proponents of this theory argued that food scarcity occurs when the availability of food is less than the food necessity of the population. The primary developers of this approach were Adam Smith and Malthus who argued that famines are primarily caused by a sudden decline in food availability. They consider natural drivers as the main causes for food insecurity and analyses their influence on harvest failures and advances in prices. They are supply oriented, in this sense the Food Availability Decline theory differs from climate theory. Food availability decline theory is vulnerable to criticism because it confined on food availability at local levels instead of including assessments on food availability at aggregate or macro levels.
