Part 2.
Post a rough estimate of how much the global human population has increased since the decade that either you or your parents were born. Use this UN population table (attached) (scroll down to page 5 for the table) and report this both as an absolute number of people and as a percentage of the number of people that were alive when you (or your parent) was born. Then explain of what you think will happen to global resources if human population continues unabated and your thoughts about population control policies: Should the rights of individuals to procreate be altered for the good of future generations? Is there any type of population control policy that you would advocate for or by which you would abide?
