Defend or Attack

Defend or Attack

here are two different positions I can choose from; Defend or Attack. The position I chose was DEFEND. I chose this position because I do agree with the DTM that the world's population will stabilize sometime this century. I agree because China, in 2070, will stabilize at 1.7billlion, India will stabilize at 2.0billion in 2070, and the dates for population stabilization are often moved back.

First, China will stabilize at 1.7billion. China will stabilize in 2070 with an population of 1.7billion because it is overpopulated already. The reason that China is so overpopulated because of the factories. The factories need more people to work in them, so that would cause the women to have babies. The population revolution began in Asia, which is also why China is overpopulated.

Furthermore, India will stabilize at 2.0billion, India will be destined to become the world's most populous country, it will reach SPL at 1.6billion in 2150. In the late 1990s, India population was still growing at a rate of about 1.9% , adding 18million per year to a population approaching 1billlion. Population growth is most rapid (and still explosive) in Assam and neighboring states adjacent to Bangladesh.

Finally, the dates for population stabilization are often moved back. In the late 1980s, the World Bank predicted that the United States would reach SPL in 2035 with 276million inhabitants. Brazil's population would stabilize at 353million in 2070. Mexico's at 254million in 2075. China's at 1.4billion in 2090. India, destined to become the world's most populous country, would reach SPL at 1.6billion in 2150.

Conclusion, the position I chose was DEFEND. I chose this position because I do agree with the DTM that the world's population will stabilize sometime this century. I agree because China, in 2070, will stabilize at 1.7billlion, India will stabilize at 2.0billion in 2070, and the dates for population stabilization are often moved back. After writing this...
