Nick Nick White ENG 104 Section 016 Research Proposal World population has always been growing especially in the last 200 years. The question is how much more can we handle. Are we just letting the problem slide by? Are we considering the consequences of letting the world population get out of control? What are the ways we can control this problem or find ways to deal with this problem? This is a problem that cannot be ignored due to the fact that resources are likely not to keep up with the world population growth. This topic is controversial because there will be a higher demand of resources and that resources may run out if the population gets out of control, resources such as food, water and other basic needs. If resources are stretched thin, there could be riots as people fight for the basic necessities we all take for granted. A lot of people could end up in poverty and starve to death. This situation concerns me because the thought of running out of food and water is rather terrifying and I hope that we will not end up in that situation. I see statistics from time to time on how world population keeps going up and seeing the possible predictions of future world population levels and it makes me wonder if we will be able to handle that situation. From time to time depending on where I’m traveling I would get stuck in traffic and the more people we have, the worse it will get. My purposes for writing this proposal is bring attention to this problem and perhaps get feedback and opinions on it. I’d like to see what people think we should do or how we can overcome this situation. Since we’ll all may have to deal with this sooner or later, depending on how old we are, we’ll have to think of ways to be able to provide for everyone. We don’t know if and when a serious food or water shortage will happen. I think this is something we need to focus on now and not just talk about it. The audience could be young people who may have to face this situation in the future, I wouldn’t want to scare them, and we just need to be prepared for this kind of situation. Nick White ENG 104 Section 016 Research Plan Types of resources I need to find: Articles on the internet discussing world population problems and what can be done about it. Newspaper articles discussing the world population problems and how it can affect us. Also magazine articles discussing the world population problems and how it can affect us. Where I will locate these resources: Search google scholar, the library and ask a librarian. When I will locate these resources: Wednesday 3/2, Thursday 3/3 and next week.
