As the human population and poverty increases, how should it be dealt with? A Modest Proposal by Dr. Jonathan Swift suggests that they eat the children so there will be more food, money, and less poverty. Obviously, eating children isn’t an option that anyone should consider.
For overpopulation, people could be encouraged to not have more than a certain number of children. Birth control and other methods should also be more available and cheaper. Another idea is for people to be more spread out. Instead of having big cities and rural areas, have a constant suburban area. This could prevent large densities of people in areas and will also save space as big cities won’t continually want to expand. For people in poverty, the government should provide for them. Give each person a specific amount of money so they can have a house, clothe, food, etc. There can also be constant fundraisers for people in need.
There are many ways that problems in the world could be fixed but everyone needs to work together. Overall, if everyone decided to help one another, the community would be much better.
