Pollution- proportional to Overpopulation

What is pollution? We all know that it is the contamination of the surroundings(air, water,land, sound).

So how do our surroundings get polluted? Pollution can be man made or natural. Let's use some general incidents which will help us to answer this question.

Well, when we step out of our house in the morning, we often find motor vehicles moving in the streets, honking. The suspended waste materials or the pollutants emitted by these vehicles are a source of air pollution. Other sources of man made air pollution are- burning wood and fossil fuel, smoke from the factories, foul smell and gases emitted from garbage littered outside the dustbins etc.

In the roads of busy cities often our ears get disturbed with the undesirable sounds known as Noise. Noise above 80 decibels is intolerable to our ears and is painful. Honking, watching television and listening to music in large volumes, mahines used in factory sites etc are some examples of noise pollution which we encounter in our daily lives.

The chemicals and fertilisers used by farmers for production of a better yield can become a source of water and soil pollution. The fertilisers and other chemicals given to the crops, seep into the soil and loses the fertility of the soil. During rains these chemicals are washed by and are deposited in the water bodies thereby polluting them.

These are some of the examples which show us that human intervention in the surrounding is polluting it. Human activities are not only affecting the environment but are also harming the habitat and lives of many organisms and animals. Global Warming caused by the green house effect( increase in the carbon dioxide level because of human intervention) is melting the glaciers so that the animals living in the polar region are finding it difficult in living there. Pollution of water bodies by chemicals are harming the organisms living in them. These chemicals make it suitable for algae to grow in them which decrease the biological oxygen demand of the other living organisms living in those water bodies. The above examples are a result of human intervention. Now in this present generation when the world's population is increasing, naturally their demands are also increasing. So what is the result going to be? probabilities are - more global warming that even air conditioners would be unable to keep us cool, increase cases of natural phenomena and disasters. Now that we know what are the consequences going to be ,so why not take action. I know that many activities are been taken to save our environment but an active participation by everyone is required because then only we can be successful in making a pollution free earth.

Population leading to marginalization

Population is leading to marginalization, but how?

Population is leading to marginalization. It’s leading to marginalization because of various reasons. The main reason is that of demand of people. People demands are of more food, more and better furniture, more electronics and many other things.
For the benefit of Indian and to lift all Indians out of poverty, government has increased wages and salaries of every job of people. And as the government is achieving success in their aim of lifting all Indians out of poverty, economic conditions of each and individual Indians have developed.

Now all the Indians are capable of buying goods foods and their daily requirements. But still there are people who are below poverty line.

As the people’s demands increases, market prices also increases. So, as a result the person whose economic condition is good is able to afford buying those goods and the people who are below poverty line are being deprived of those goods. In such a situation, those people who are below poverty line are being marginalized, as they are not getting to enjoy all the things that are enjoyed by the rich persons, and are feeling deprived of those facilities.

Another reason is that though the people are rich, but enough proper food is not available to all of those people. The persons who reach first in the market get the best food. While the persons who reach the market last, only the left out foods are available for them.

This is the present situation.
What will be the situation after a few years?????????

The Present Job Scenario

Gone are the days when people took interest in jobs such as farming, business, medicine, engineering etc. Now we hardly get to hear such terms. Instead people are taking more interest in fields such as- Information Technology, Research and Development and Nanotechnology. Even in the field of medicine we do not simply hear people becoming a cardiologist or nephrologist, we hear them taking up jobs which were not commonly heard previously like interventional radiotherapists, Navigational surgery, robotic surgery etc.



If someone is interested in sports and at the same in medicine ,then he can pursue a carrier in sports medicine such as Kinesiotherapists or Biomechanists. Now in this present generation every job sector has open up multidisciplinary opportunities.



The world of work is enormously diverse but still the number of jobs available is limited. This has lead to the unemployment of many people. And after the recession, the economic slowdown has made everyone tizzy. The slowdown has shaken the professionals as lot of companies are downsizing their employees. With the growing population the need of expanding the job pattern has enhanced the present job sectors.

Population explotion has also become a reason for unemployment.There are so many people ready with their degrees. Millions of people are still jobless inspite of having qualifying degrees. This is a major problem since it affects the unemployed individuals as well as their socio-economis status. It also affects the country's economy. Unemployed individuals are unable to earn money to meet financial obligations. An economy with high unemployment is not using all of the resources, specifically labour, available to it. In extreme cases high levels of unemployment can be causes of civil unrest, in some cases leading to revolution, and particularly totalitarianism.


Many steps are been taken to improvise situations as such. But who knows what is going to happen in the distant future.
