OVER POPULATION
Each community is different and cannot be judged by a universal standard. The writer gives the definition of over-population and says "When there are more people that can live on the earth in comfort, happiness and health and still leave the world a fit place for future generation". Very first element of the definition is "comfort". The comfort depend on housing, food, health and employment. But there is no universal standard to judge these items. Many questions arise in our mind about hosing gabout housing. For example what kind of housing? How much space for each person? Is there heat or air- conditioning? All about these questions there is no general argument in the world. The second element of the definition is "happiness". The meaning of "happiness" differs from person to person. For example for some people happiness means shelter, food and health. For other happiness means a car, big house, servants and swimming pool. The third element of the definition is "health". Again the world is not agreed to its definition. Does the "health" mean to lengthen the span of life? Does it mean to put an end to infant and child mortality completely? The fourth element of the definition is "leaving the earth a fit place for future generation". Does the word "fit" mean a population free world? Does it mean that the future generations will develop technologies to create new energy resources? This definition is also vague. The writer concludes that it is impossible to put forward an "agreed definition of the word "Over- Population".
