Most major cities and towns in the world are overpopulated. This means that too many people are living in the same area. The reason is quite simple. Folks from the country move into the cities in the hope of getting better employment and enriching their lives. But what has this led to?
Trees and plants have to make way for skyscrapers to house the hordes of people that migrate into the cities. Hundreds or even thousands of motor vehicles travel on the roads at all times emitting harmful gases into the atmosphere polluting the air we breathe. The city has been stripped of its natural beauty and has become a concrete jungle!
Overpopulation has also led to the rise in crime as the city’s economy is not able to support everyone and there is bound to be unemployment. This in turn results in the rise of crime and corruption. Robbery, prostitution and peddling of drugs are prevalent in most cities.
Finally, scientists have devised ways to make crops and animals grow faster by unnatural means such as the use of growth hormones. This has become necessary to feed and sustain the ever-growing population. But what is the price of these synthetically enhanced foods? Recent studies have shown that there are certain side-effects for the consumers.
As can be seen, the effects of overpopulation are manifold. Health and morals have deteriorated and nature has been sacrificed in the name of scientific progress.
