Overpopulation has become a potential threat to humanity and to the world, becoming aware of this problem was one of the reasons why we chose this topic. A motivation we had to choose this topic was its extension, and it that it can be faced in many different ways. Raising awareness is the only way in which people will start looking for a solution to this problem, because otherwise people won’t know that the threat is real. Younger generations will have to eventually stand up against this problem, and when they do it might be too late, that’s why I feel we should start facing this problem now that it isn’t too late.

We choose this topic because we thought that overpopulation could relate with the topics we have and also because is a real problem that has been growing with time and there's going to be a point where all of the outcomes of this will be bad and dangerous, so we need to be informed and know a little about it or otherwise it will affect the planet. We need to prepare and know what to do, and how to control it, for our own benefit and health.

The world is approaching to a number of 11 billion people. And we are the cause of all the sustainability issues.

Thomas Robert Malthus whose essay was  published at the end of the 18th century said : “Population change in response to three driving factors: fertility – how many people are born; mortality – how many people die; and migration – how many people leave or enter the population.”  Malthus observed that more births than deaths would lead to exponential growth which would always outpace any improvements in farming and increases in yields. Consequently, unchecked growth was doomed to end in famine and population collapse. Malthus was right about exponential growth, but he was famously wrong about his dire predictions for the consequences of such growth.

We choose this topic because we think overpopulation is really affecting the world nowadays. We are the cause of all the pollution and overproduction of many things that also causes the pollution. Our motivations were to investigate more about what all the countries are planning to do a how are we going to manage this problem. Also this makes me sad and nervous because we don't now where is this problem going to take us. We need to take care of our planet.

We choose this topic because is a problem we need to solve all the world together and is affecting it. Our motivation were that is a problem that the world is facing and we don't do nothing about it. It makes me feel bad about it because is a problem that we cause everyday and we continue do it knowing about this problem and do nt care.

We choose this topic because overpopulation is a problem that our world is living right now and this needs to stop because if not, problems will arise, with this I mean that there will be effects of the human overpopulation, for example depletion of natural resources, loss of freshwater, species extinctions, global warming and more. This makes me feel worried for the new generations, I don’t want them to live in a world with all the problems that I mentioned before.
