Arguments+Against+Overpopulation


 * __Argumentative English Speech__ **
 * Our Subject is Overpopulation **


 * (Oliver) There are 7.06 billion people on earth, and that number is raising all the time. And already today the resources are not really enough to keep us going. Then think of what would happen in 20 years. Here are a few examples of what were to happen if we wouldn’t do something and just continue as usual: **


 * ** (Edvin) The earth would run out of resources and minerals and after that, many people would die. After a couple of years the earth would be unlivable, and we would destroy any chance of life on earth for quite some time.  **


 * ** ( Marcus) We would need to cut down a lot of trees which would completely destroy the forests which would kill the animals.  **


 * (Johan) But we have a couple of solutions which potentially could save the planet if such a thing would happen. **


 * ** (Johan) Instead of throwing away lots of food from restaurants all over the world, we could save it and send it on a plane to the poor countries. Since in several countries they throw away well done food if people get the wrong order. They just throw it in a dumpster and then trash it to the junkyard. If the people in the poor countries would get enough food, they wouldn’t have to make so many children that could work for them and then the worlds populations would reduce.  **


 * ** (Edvin) If the government of the overpopulated countries would establish a law that would forbid the people to make more than one child, and if they were to resist they would get punished and the child would get taken from them and sent to another country. This law has already been established in China, and would therefor be easy to follow for other people and countries.  **


 * ** (Oliver) We could establish a Democracy in the most overpopulated countries, for example African countries are often ruled by dictators. Then there would be more discipline, and more people could get jobs so that they can build up the city and their village. And if they work they don’t need 9 children that have to work and get money to support the family. I think it would be better then.  **


 * ** (Marcus) If we would give the poor people an education the people would know that the world could get unlivable and all the people would die. This could reduce the world’s population in some years we believe.  **

 * Arguments For Gun license: **


 * ** (Edvin) If anyone could get a Gun License there would be less violence in the rich towns because the rich people would only use it to protect their belongings. But in the poor towns their would be more violence then before. I suggest that we approve gun license but to get one you need to have a high income and every person that wants a gun license would have to go through a background check, and in this check the people who sell the guns would see if the buyer is in the criminal record. If he or she do not have a criminal record, they are able to buy a gun.  **


 * ** (Johan) People could need guns at home, if a stranger enters a house and threatens the household, they could use a gun to shoot the stranger. According to the laws in USA, the person who shot the stranger would not be guilty, they were protecting themselves and therefor they would not be guilty. This is only in the laws of USA.  **


 * ** (Marcus) I think that guns are a must have for police officer. People get scared of it and the police can take advantage of that, it can even get the bad guys to give up. But of course this could be used the other way around, which means that someone who threatens.  **


 * Source: **
 * (Johan) We did not use any websites or other sources to get the facts, we got it all from our minds. **
