Discussion: Population
Growth
You must Include one thematic map that illustrates some aspect of your
narrative (maps or graphics cannot be decorative in nature, the content of the
object must be an integral part of your narrative
Put another way, whatever you post as a graphic or map must be
mentioned/discussed in the narrative beyond simply stating that there is a map
and the reader should look at it–a substantive connection must be made.

One argument concerning
population growth is that our most important goal should be to sharply reduce
the rate of population growth in less-developed countries, where most of the
world’s population growth is expected to take place. Another argument is that
the most serious environmental problems stem from high levels of resource
consumption per person in more-developed countries, which use most of the
world’s resources and have much larger ecological footprints per person than do
less-developed countries.
Which of these views
do you think presents the most cogent argument and why? (Remember that sources
are required, and must be academically acceptable.)
