1. Summary
Demography is a study of population dynamics and includes how the population changes over time. To explain sociological phenomena, statistical indicators have to be shaped before presenting theories. This sometimes makes it possible to analyze various phenomena. For example, it can be shown that the statistics of the increase in population during the First World War did not play a major role in the war but played hostile acts leading to war. We need to know demographics because it is possible to turn information into informative explanations.
2. Overpopulation
Overpopulation refers to a sudden increase in population, which exceeds the local population limit. It is a phenomenon that can be found mainly in metropolitan areas with high population density. When the population explosion occurs, there are various social and environmental problems. also it's a phenomenon that is more prominent in developing countries than in advanced countries.
The cause is indirectly due to the industrial revolution. The Industrial Revolution has led to the development of industrial and other scientific and medical technologies. As a result, overpopulation occurred because the food, clothing, and shelter problem was solved as a whole and the life span increased.
In the 1960s~1970s, the birth rate was high in Korea due to the promotion of childbirth. The problem of overpopulation stemming from here has long been considered a the bad luck to be verbally abused. So, the government implemented a population control policy for population control.
3. Discussion Point
There are many reasons for the overpopulation. Aging is an example of this. If this is the main reason, what can be said for sub reason?(no direct reason, indirectly influence)

The development of science and technology is an indirect and direct cause of population growth. As science developed, we became aware of the hygiene and microorganisms that we did not know about, and we became aware of the necessities and dangerous things in our bodies, and as a result, our bodies became healthier than in the past.
ReplyDeleteThe treatment's development will the reason because it lengthen the people's expected life expectancy and it aggravate the aging problem.

ReplyDeleteI think the cause of overpopulation is the development of technology. Especially, the medical technology has developed and the elderly can live longer. Also, in the past, there were many people who starved to death due to lack of resources, but in recent years there seems to be fewer people because of the abundant resources.
