Opinion Paragraph- Paul Ehrlict Theory In regard to the world’s demographic trends, I think Paul Ehrlich theory is correct in the sense that, if humans fail to bring population growth and overconsumption under control, the world will eventually run out of natural resources. Firstly, I agree with Paul Ehrlich on this topic because the rate, at which people are being born, is less than the rate by which they die. This is due to the fact that the world is now advanced in technology, and humans have found cures to diseases. Therefore there are fewer deaths than births. Secondly, I and Paul Ehrlich share the same vision in the sense that the world’s natural resources will run out. For example, the earth is running out of fresh water. In the Ogallala Aquifer in the Midwestern U.S., research shows that we’ve tapped underground water sources pretty heavily in this particular place; Its water level has dropped more than 150 feet, leaving farmers with no water for their crops (NG). Lastly, humans waste a lot of our natural resources. For example, most of the expensive materials sold at the shopping mall are made from our raw materials. We use these materials for a limited time, then we waste it, believing it is not in fashion anymore. Thus, it’s thrown out and burned. In conclusion, I support Paul Ehrlich’s theory that, if humans fail to bring population growth and overconsumption under control, the world will eventually run out of its natural resources. This is due to the higher birth rates than death rates. Humans over use the earth’s natural resources, and the fact that we waste our natural resources, are all reason why I believe in Paul Ehrlich theory.
