How to handle the population of the 21st century Introduction The size of this number is amazing enough for those who wonder whether the end prophecies of the world are correct or not. Today, the world population is 59.82 million people, showing an exponential growth rate of 4% per year (UN, 1999). This means that by 2010, there are 901 million people for feeding, dressing and housing. In other words, 59.82 million people x 0.014 = 93 million people, an average of 6 million people per week, 227,000 people per day, 9,400 people per hour.
As the global aging and population of young people are explodingly increasing at the same time, geopolitical complexity is so great that there is not enough meeting room for the meeting, so the 21st century is in front of us It is explained as the century. By 2050, energy, water and food become very scarce and no one can recall the era of careless consumerism. In our last century: the 50/50 threat to human survival: will mankind survive in the 21st century? (2003), Martin Rees provided scientists with a warning about the human threat of the 21st century:
Over the past few centuries, the population has dramatically increased. In 1830, over 900 million people lived on the earth. As the 21st century approaches, the Earth's population will be close to 6 billion people. At the same time, the very large and dense population is increasing. Tokyo reaches over 25 million people. Geographically knowledgeable people are not only the growth, distribution and movement of people on the planet is the driving force of social, cultural, political and economic human events.

Bringing Malthus 'pessimistic view of humanity into the 21st century is suitable for supporters of Nicholas D. Christophe' 81, UNFPA and other population groups, with a population of more than 7 billion people in the world of Halloween I will. Christopher further advanced, accusing the population from "climate change to poverty to civil war". According to those who are afraid of overpopulation, people are obviously too expensive.
Based on this, the picture of the 19th century is slightly different from that of the 21st century. The rise of capitalist individualism has brought many important benefits to a small portion of the world's population including technology, communications, transportation and medicine. But the reconfirmed story brings our self: If we succeed, we should be rewarded and if we fail, we deserve our poverty. But when life is short lived, it is so unequal and most of the people 's social failure is inevitable when many of them are beyond our control. In addition, the advanced society has become more secular, so antidotes to this story have disappeared from our lives. Durkheim recognizes that the whitespace left by religion needs to be buried even today.
