Assignment:
Revisit the list you made in Population and Scarcity:
Question. How does this list exemplify Trade and Globalization? Explain three specific examples by making explicit connections between the items you chose and the ideas in the Trade and Globalization section.
LIST:
1. Increased demand for resources: A rapidly growing population puts pressure on finite resources such as food, water, energy, and raw materials.
2. Expanded infrastructure: A larger population requires the development of infrastructure to accommodate housing, transportation, healthcare, and education.
3. Urbanization: Rapid population growth often leads to increased urbanization as more people move to cities, requiring the construction of additional buildings and amenities.
4. Job creation: A growing population necessitates the creation of new job opportunities to support livelihoods and reduce unemployment rates.
5. Healthcare and public services: A larger population requires adequate healthcare facilities, public services, and social support systems to meet the growing needs of communities.
6. Education systems: A rapidly growing population requires an expanded education system to ensure access to quality education for all, from primary to tertiary levels.
7. Environmental impact: The environmental impact of a growing population can be significant, including increased pollution, deforestation, habitat loss, and the depletion of natural resources.
8. Social services: Social services such as welfare programs,
childcare, eldercare, and assistance for vulnerable populations may need to be expanded to meet the needs of a larger population.
9. Economic development: A growing population can provide opportunities for economic growth, entrepreneurship, and market expansion, but it also requires sustainable economic development strategies.
10. Planning and governance: Rapid population growth necessitates effective urban planning, efficient governance, and policies that address the challenges associated with increased demand and sustainability.
