Chapter 7 Review

chapter 7Review

Throughout this chapter, we have examined the ways in which the human population changes in response to natural biological factors and in response to other factors that are specifically human in nature. Together, these factors determine the carrying capacity of Earth, the total number of human beings that the world can support. People in the developed world are currently exhibiting very different behavior from those in the developing world. In the developed world, population growth has almost stopped while consumption of resources is still quite high. In the developing world, growth rates, while slowing, are still high, and consumption of resources is still rather low. As the world becomes more urban, and the impacts of development and consumption from larger numbers of people increase, the challenge is to achieve sustainable growth while also promoting the improvement of living conditions in the developing world.
