High population growth is an issue
High population growth is still an issue in many parts of the world, and subsequently bring about other related issues such as water population, hygiene, shortage of food, deforestation, crime and many others.
One of the main issue is housing millions of people in proper housing with adequate water, food and giving them a job. Historically, people are attracted to big population area with jobs to offer, and this start off leaving rural areas sparsely populated, but causing cities to be jammed packed with millions. This in turn caused a housing issue, many high rise buildings need to be built to house these people. High density housing becomes the norm and all sorts of social issues start to emerge, which is prevalent in our modern society.
So economic growth at what "cost" ? Human created all these self inflicted problems and can blame no one. We need to find balance even when want economic growth and try to pre-empt and eliminate such problems before they get out of control.
One of the main problem for people is "greed", businessman wants to make money and go to places where cause is the lowest. You make million of products in a low cost place and then build large ships and planes to move them to the consumers. Such practices actually wasted a lot of resources to build transportation machines at great cost and a lot of such resources could have been saved.
Why all humans are after more and more money, and fail to see what they are doing are bad for the rest of the world at large ?
Well, human are mostly selfish and mostly think of how to make a quick profit out of other people. I think school system play a part too, why go to the university when you cannot even think straight!
