    Overpopulation is a serious global issue that threatens our way of life if not addressed. As the document explains, population growth occurs when the birth rate is greater than the death rate. This can lead to problems like lack of resources and spread of disease. The issue is exacerbated by larger younger generations entering their reproductive years compared to older generations leaving that phase. Uncontrolled reproduction also contributes to overcrowding. While issues like reduced mortality and improved standards of living increase population, overpopulation may eventually cause fatal epidemics that could wipe out humanity if left unaddressed. Immediate analysis and control of overpopulation is needed.

    There are many issues today that pose a threat to our way of life.

    Overpopulation is a serious
    problem that will eventually have an extremely negative effect on our countries, and our planet. The
    problems that arise due to overpopulation could even prove to a fatal epidemic that will eventually
    wipeout the entire human race. Oftentimes this issue is overlooked due to lack of knowledge and
    understanding of the subject; or, simply because most of us are so blessed that we are not affected
    first hand by the problems it is causing this very second. Overpopulation, in my belief, is an
    enormously serious global issue that should be identified, analyzed, and controlled immediately. See more at: https://www.customwritings.com/blog/sample-essays/overpopulationessay.html#sthash.g70XC4Sj.dpuf
    Population is determined by the interplay of two factors. One is the birth rate, or the number or
    people being born, and the other is death rate, or the number who die. The different between the two
    is called the rate of natural increase (Stefoff 25). If the number of deaths is less than the number of
    births then the population is growing larger; consequently, if the number of deaths is greater than the
    number of births then the population is decreasing (Stefoff 25). A major factor that is sometimes
    overlooked is the idea that rapid growth will occur due to the larger size of the new reproductive
    generation in comparison with the much less past reproductive generations. This means that in the
    next twenty-five years about 3 billion people will begin the reproductive phase of their lives; while
    only approximately 1.8 billion people will withdraw from that stage of life (Mitchell). Uncontrolled,
    immature reproduction is a leading cause of overcrowding. Diseases and medical advances that
    cause a decrease in deaths are also aspects that affect population. Education, economic activity,
    and changes in standards of living all play a part in the increase of population - See more at:
