I don't have enough posts yet to create my own thread, so I thought I'd stick on the end of this dead thread.

This is an essay I am writing for a class that I have taken a particular interest in. I was able to choose my topic for this paper. This is only the rough draft and still lacks the body of the work. I have nearly all the research done, it's coming time to fill in the blanks (2 weeks left until paper is due). I wanted to get some feed back on what I've written so far. Tell me where I've left mental voids (aside from fact and the body).

Technology and Population Control
(Narrative Essay)

(In early adolescence through aged adulthood you make certain decisions, you may have picked up a name brand soda or snack from a convenience store, you might have bought a pack of cigarettes or some beer, you probably chose a car you wanted, you decided what job you wanted based on the market, you decided were to go to school, you picked who you wanted to date & marry, you decided where you wanted to live for various reasons, you decide how to eat and how to spend your money, you decide what kind of insurance you need, you have kids and make decisions and purchases for them. What if I told you that you made the majority of those decisions because of exterior forces and not by personal choice. What if there was a system that geared us towards making these decisions because it made us believe that these are the best choices we can make and that the lifestyles we live are best suited for spiritual, moral, and conscious growth. When in reality the system pushes our backs against the wall and makes us choose between the stick or the hammer. This ‘illusion’ of choice keeps us complacent and indoctrinated, and if we knew the truth behind this system, we would be furious. )

The world we know it is ever expanding, technology is developing at a rate so fast that the average person can not realistically keep up. We see production of food on a scale we’ve never seen before, the world’s human population has never reached such a lofty amount in our known history. Our governments nationally and globally have taken notice to this expansion.

Why have they taken notice? Before I get into why I must mention this is a topic not talked about much simply because it is not in our environmental sphere. However it is a topic that must be talked about, because it is an issue that our children and our children’s children’s grandchildren will continue to face. However I want to talk about population control in our current environment. I may build upon these current events using common or similar events that have occurred during the history of man and in the history of America, but the focus is about what’s going on today, moving around our day to day lives, unnoticed.

back to the Why?, why is it even valid to postulate on this topic, why is it pertinent to dissect and critique the topic of population control, specifically through the means of technological mediums. It is necessary because it effects us as individuals, it effects this group, it effects your family, your education, how you travel, how spend money, what jobs are available, what experiences you will have, it diminishes your chances in your pursuit of happiness, and not only the pursuit of happiness but your pursuit of purpose and meaning, it effects your prospective dreams, and ultimately it effects how you will die. These ideas are commonly thought to be left up to the individual, through personal choices they feel that they can be the determining factor, most people feel that the truly do have a choice, that they get to decide the outcome of these things, but they don’t, the majority of people living in post-industrialized totalitarian states masquerading as a capitalistic societies do not have a real choice. They are lead by the hand to accept certain values and authorities. They are given the illusion of freedom and choice, stepping outside these bounds rarely leads to prosperity and people that aren’t in sync with this mentality are castaways (look at the rising number of social and personality disorders and the rising number of incarcerated peoples).

Thesis – The elite of our country, not the government, have forcibly created a network of social institutions to govern us on a day to day and long term basis, they manipulate the nuances of interactive media, advertisements, sports, all styles of the arts, and other forms of community convergences; they do all of this in such a way to control our unconscious decisions that inevitably alter the following concepts, but are not limited to them: human lifespan, the ability to propagate, personal financial security and indebtedness, the characteristics of our personalities and morals, and mainly, our conscious ability to recognize when we are being deceived.

The topics I will cover in an attempt to shed some factual light on this issue, are:

Look,i understand why you believe population control is something to consider-but the actual problem is not with the size of the human population-its the GREED and EXCESSIVE CONSUMERISM of the majority of the population,at least in most First World countries..The "More,More,More!! OMG,im never gonna have enough Stuff!!"-mentality.

Most of the industries in this world causing pollution,are there because so many people demand the products they manufacture. Think:3 TV sets in some households,every imaginable gadget,wardrobes filled with 20 times more clothing than the individual would ever need,and these are 3 of hundreds of examples one can think of.

Think how a family like the Rothschild's or Du Ponts,the Krupps,the Queen of England,etc,have more money than they can spend in quite a few lifetimes-while children starve.. But in their psychotic greed,they who REALY can make a lasting and notable difference,choose not to.

It is these things that is the real problem,not the size of the population.I look with shame at my front and backyard.This house and grounds we live on,is supplied for us by my husbands employer,a mining company,while he works for them,we get to live here.BUT there is space for 2 more families to have a small little "granny flat",and a small veggie garden each.For 2 couples with 1 kid each,it would be fine.So the portion of land that now houses 5 people (me,the hubby,and my 2 youngest kids,plus a lady i let live rent-free in my outside room) it can comfortably house and feed 11 or 12. Take a look at how much land is owned,for instance,by Englands Queen Elizabeth-Good Lord,can you imagine how many families could live and built sustainable food resources on even half of what she owns?

Greed,Materialism,Improper use of land,Socio-economic injustices-these are the demons.

I would fully support these population control freaks leading by example, I trust none of them have kids and they have all been neutered?

Population control is inhumane and not needed. We are not overcrowded yet. If people learn to live in one with the earth, we can house many more.

I believe we are heading for over population if we do not make changes within the next few years. I think the government should only allow women to have 2 offspring.


As for animal extinction, we can control this by cloning. We can provide as much food needed, meat wise simply by cloning.

Western populations are declining, hence we are told we "NEED" to bring in high fertility immigrants- so your comments would appear to be directed at the likes of Burkina Faso, good luck in enforcing that in a country such as that, would be quite a brutal endeavour............

Population control my ass. They have no interest in controlling the growth of the Earth population. They are more interest in the extermination of the human race.
