Overpopulation (Article)
over population is not about the number of people alone...
its the capacity of the area or community to support people.. like availability of food, water, shelter, jobs, healthcare, education, security, and etc..
naa man mga lugar nga wala tao.. pero ang pangutana, mabuhi ba sila og tarong anang lugara (like disaster prone areas)
Halos tanan Filipino walay disiplina. Mangihi bisag asa, spit bisag asa, jaywalking, illegal logging, illegal housing, illegal drugs hahaha
Would it be possible to draw up a graph of the average number of offspring vis a vis economic level of the families here? I'm sure it would tell an interesting tale.
I know someone who quit school to work so she could send her younger sister to high school. Her younger sister then repaid her by getting pregnant even before graduating. So now her elder sister has to support her schooling AND the baby, because the father is a student as well. Not only that, she just found out that her younger sister is pregnant again, almost immediately after she gave birth! Now the romantics in us would say that it's true love, but realistically speaking it's just very poor decision making. Youth indeed, is wasted on the young.
usa man gud au cgeg panganak, labina tingbugnaw..paita..magkadaghan ang mga tawo nya nagka gamay ang resources..pero maskin galisud na ang pinas daghan man lang gehapon tawo ang mango..hehehe..
Over populated jud most urban areas here in the Phlippines kay most people mamalhin man sa city kay mas daghan kuno og opportunity. Wala man sad gud kaayo opportunities sa mga provinces, mao na ang mga promdi adto dayon sa lungsod without definite plans nya pag-abot mahimo ng one of the squatters, albeit, not every promdi ha.
The church should really stop fighting the population management programs by the government and instead help inform the masa, kay magkadugay ani these people will really become burden to our nation, if not yet.
Thanks for posting that. This is exactly the point that most people like mannyamador and the other overpopulation disbelievers are missing.
If we were only to look at the very basics, like a hand-to-mouth precarious existence where life is cheap like it was during biblical times, then of course the country can support a much larger population. But to thinking and education people, quality of life is important as well. We are in the 21st century already.
Thus there are two ways to view capacity:
First, the simplistic sense: that is the mere capacity to support a meager (hand to mouth) existence with barely the basics needed to survive. This is the definition the Catholic church subscribes to, because it cares not how many poor people there are, the more poor people, the more devout and uneducated followers so much the easier to brainwash and bend to its will. Hence there are no negatives to the Church to having a greater population that is poor and uneducated as what it fears the most is an educated, rich population that may turn away from the church as has happened in many first world countries, weakening its grip on power and influence amongst the populace.
Second, the realistic sense: that is the capacity for the country to provide for a 21st century lifestyle needed to compete in a 21st century global community which is dictated and constrained by: availability of schools, of technology infrastructure, of hard physical infrastructure like roads, of advanced farms that allow food self-sufficiency, of strong institutions. This is the capacity that asks: how many people can a country support to a high standard of living deserving of human beings as opposed to an animal-like depraved existence?
If we were to go with the first definition, then the country can support billions of half-starved, semi-educated simpletons who live little better than animals. Perhaps this is the dark future crazy loons like mannyamador and his lackeys envision for us. But any thinking, educated person knows the second definition is the correct one. And therefore, our country at this very moment already has a population beyond its capacity. It is therefore by no stretch of logic, that slowing down our population growth so the infrastructure can catch up is what is urgently needed in this country.
