The solution to this problem is one that is hard to come by. It is easy as an Amercian teenager to say that we should share resources, trade with other nations for the resources we lack and the resources they need. But the reality of the situation is that the wealthy will continue to get the resources they need. Countries like Africa have little to offer, and without the promise of something in return, wealthy cuontries such as Amercia are often unwilling to help improve the conditions that the people are living in. Until we have a change of mind and heart on the matter of giving and helping without always asking for something of value in return, third world countries will continue to struggle.

This is a serious issue, and needs not to be overlooked.  First of all, governments in these places could limit the amount of children like China has done. Next, the gov could create ways to conserve resources. Another idea would be to trade resources that they have for resources that they lack.

Well, getting back on topic, this article basically talks about how the growing population will increase competition for basic life resources in some areas, like water.

In Africa, this is true.  The fact that people are competing over basic life neccesities because there just isn't enough is sickening.  This ties into economics, especially in the sense of Supply and Demand.  As population increases, the demand for basic life neccessities also increase (Because they are essential to living), and if there isn't enough supply, it can create more of a problem than just prices increasing, people can die.

The growth in population in the end will cause major problems for water and food necesities in these countries in africa, maybe the US should try and find a way to help these people with this problem.

Africa is a CONTINENT in desperate need. We must do something as people with morals. Save Africa!

Have a nice day
