Abstract
An examination of the population problems that Bangladesh experiences not only reveals that they are deeply rooted, but also that a number of important obstacles stand in the way of achieving a meaningful and lasting solution. More importantly, some of these obstacles relate to fundamental characteristics of the country itself which are slow to change, while others relate to Bangladesh's lowly status within the international heirarchy or the country's geographic characteristics. In total, this leads one to suggest that the country is just simply not capable of controlling its population problem on its own and, perhaps more importantly, that a substantial amount of assistance from First World countries is required if change is to be expected within this particular Third World country.

Conclusions
From the Paper
"The amazing economic development in countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore over the past fifty years has been accompanied by an intense interest on the part of governments in those nations in fertility issues. The nations experienced rapid population growth for much of the last century, but as much of that growth was driven by rapidly improved medical care and other aspects of development that worked to prolong life. The governments therefore implemented education policies designed to encourage people to wait until later in life to marry and to have fewer children. Such family planning worked to slow the fertility rates so that the population growths were slowed and eventually leveled. In other nations such as Vietnam and Laos, where economic development and education did not go hand in hand as expansively and rapidly, the population growth rates seem to have taken longer. This suggests that economic development can work to increase population, but that the growth can be curbed if it is coupled with social and education development, so that modernization is treated as a comprehensive program (Jones)."

U.S. Population Control, 2006.
This paper argues against the institution of population control in the United States.
955 words (approx. 3.8 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 33.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues that there are three very valid reasons why the U.S. should not engage in any activity that limits population: (1) The world's growth rate is slowing and there is a vast difference between "population control" and family planning; (2) the idea of population control may be racially and ethnically motivated and, (3) more morally important, the government has absolutely no right to control conception or birth much as Communist China has done in its two-children family regulations. The author questions who would be selected or appointed to head such a Population Control mandate were it ever to come to pass and who would do the appointing? The paper supports population protection and education but never population control.
From the Paper
"In a now infamous and declassified document issued under the signature of Henry Kissinger in 1974, he sent a memorandum to the Secretaries of Defense, Agriculture, the Director of the CIA, the Deputy Secretary of State and the Administrator for the Agency for International Development, stating that "The President has directed a study of the impact of world population growth on U.S./ Security and overseas interests..." It is the first known document that spells out the fear of some American politicians for world over-population, not so much what it would do to those nations, but how over-population might harm the "interests" of America."

Abstract
This paper details the steady increase in the world's population in the last 100 years and explains how the advancement of modern medicine has allowed people to survive longer with cheaper, effective treatment. It explains that it is not just the West who can enjoy these benefits, many poorer countries have improved and more accessible healthcare, resulting in longer lifespan and improved reproduction.
From the Paper
"This steady population growth has dramatic consequences on the world, some good, and some bad. The benefits of having more people on the planet means that there is a greater pool of labour, and we can see that it benefits big companies such as Nike who set up sweat shops in countries in Asia and Africa and who exploit the large number of unemployed people. But one of the biggest criticisms of having a large population is the environmental impact it has on the planet, having more people in the world leads to more demand of resources, some of which are depleting rapidly."

Abstract
This paper discusses how population growth presents one of the largest challenges to the environment of any of the potential problems human beings pose towards nature. It looks at how the problem of over-population presents itself in a variety of different forms such as air pollution, chemical dumping and the greenhouse effect. It argues that we must work together as a global community and as nations individually to promote positive methods of producing responsible population stabilization, and in some cases negative population growth.
Outline:
Introduction
The Problems of Population Growth
Global Solutions for Population Growth
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Population growth must be considered as an exponential increase rather than a linear increase. A liner increase is when a number is added to the previous number to create a larger number. Exponential increase multiplies instead of adding the new number to the previous number. Population growth moves in this pattern because of the natural reproduction of families. In traditional nuclear families with two and a half kids the growth should be about the same. However, if a couple has eight children, which is not totally unreasonable, the population of that family is now four times as large. In this way, population increases geometrically or exponentially.

Population Distribution, 2005.
A discussion and analysis of population distribution in the United States.
1,025 words (approx. 4.1 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 36.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses several aspects of the United States population distribution and how the population may change in the next five to ten years. It explains that the population distribution in the U.S. is an interesting mix, with most people living in the urban centers of the nation, but enough still live in the heartland and western areas to make the population diverse and spread out.
From the Paper
"The population of the United States in mid-2004 was 293,633,000. The population distribution of the United States, in general terms, is located mainly along the coastlines, with the interior of the country being less populated than the East, West, and Gulf Coasts. In fact, the Population Research Bureau notes, "More than half the U.S. population lives within 50 miles of a coastal shoreline" (Editors). This also holds true with the Great Lakes region and along the Mississippi River. Population centers such as Detroit and Chicago are located along the coastlines of the Great Lakes, and centers such as Saint Louis are located along the Mississippi. Generally, distribution is heaviest East of the Mississippi, and then there is a wider gap until reaching the West Coast and desert southwest. While the population density of the U.S. is only 79 people per square mile, this statistic does not give an adequate picture of the population distribution, because there is so much of the country that is inhabitable because of terrain, inhospitality, or bodies of water. In addition, 79 percent of American people live in urban centers, which means only 21 percent live in the rural areas of the country."

Abstract
In this article, the writer focuses on the effect the gay and lesbian population has had on hotel management and marketing. By reviewing and analyzing various articles and reports on this topic, the writer demonstrates why the gay and lesbian population is a heavily marketed group within the travel industry. Likewise, the writer reviews why a hotel manager should market to the gay and lesbian traveling population. Finally, the paper also touches briefly on how effective marketing to this population can occur.
Outline:
Introduction
What Gay and Lesbian Travelers Want in a Hotel
Why Market to Gay and Lesbian Travelers?
How to Market to the Gay and Lesbian Population
What Others are Doing
From the Paper
"One of the most significant developments in the travel industry, particularly as it applies to hotel management and marketing, is the recent trend aimed at attracting gay and lesbian clients. This trend developed as marketing research showed that gay and lesbian people are more likely to travel, and have more disposable income to spend when traveling, than the general population does. Thus, this group of individuals, who for decades was regarded as a niche travel population that only gay or lesbian-only travel marketing niche catered to, is now a mainstream market within the travel industry as a whole."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how China has confronted the issue of population growth. The writer gives a background to the economy and history of China, explaining that for four decades China engaged in population control planning. The connection is made between the population control and equilibrium in the economy. The author continues by examining economic growth rates and population growth, through demographic statistics. Finally, the paper highlights what policies the government have enacted or planned to. One example is the one child policy. In conclusion, the paper maintains that the population policies of China stem from economic reasons and that it is essential that they continue in order to sustain its future.
From the Paper
"At the time of the Republic of China?s founding, the country had a population of 541.67 million in 1949 [Countries of the World, 01-01-1991]. Today, according to the World Bank report [2002], China?s population is estimated at 1,261.1 million people.
What made China the focus of the world community is the fact that the country had been struggling for decades to eradicate a multitude of social economic ills, including high illiteracy, water and sewage problems, financial market downturns, inaccessibility to funds for social development as well as no means of economic development in terms of empowerment of its people. As a result of this, the country not only faced low GDP, income and employment level but it was also facing population growth".

Abstract
This paper studies the effect of female literacy on population growth. Using the 2SLS model, this paper establishes a negative relationship between the two. A comparative analysis of the two states of India, Bihar and Kerala, reveals the same trend. However, the paper brings out the subtle differences in the social ethos of these states. The paper distinctly establishes the dominant role of female literacy in population control and recommends suitable priorities to public policy planners

From the Paper
"The past decade (1991-2001) has been a watershed for India in more ways than one. While this decade saw the boldest economic reforms in India?s history making it possible to emerge from the Hindu Rate of Growth, the decade also witnessed the sharpest decline in population growth (2.52% points, See Chart 1) coupled with the sharpest increase in female literacy (14.87% points) since Independence. A somewhat similar feat was achieved by the Indian State of Bihar for the period 1991-1997 where it registered a high literacy growth with the sharpest expected decadal decline in population growth (1.68% points) . Unfortunately, after 1997, unprecedented political instability led to the State slipping on these indices so much so that it finally registered a dismal performance on both the fronts of female literacy (lowest in the country) and population growth ( 2.8%, which is higher than the national average of 2.1%) for the entire decade (1991-2001) taken as a whole. An exceedingly good performance in this area (both at the national level and the State level) has prompted me to explore whether literacy (particularly female literacy) carries a more direct bearing on population control than other methods such as mass media campaigns, family planning, and sterilization."

Demographics in the Chicano Population, 2007.
This paper examines statistics regarding the Chicano population in the United States.
788 words (approx. 3.2 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 28.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper considers several aspects of the growing Chicano population in America. The author presents numerous statistics about the growth of this population and the various causes for this growth. Additionally, the paper includes information regarding education and employment. The paper also considers policy-making regarding the welfare of the Mexican-American population. The author sees this as a primary concern in policy-making for the 21st century.
From the Paper
" Public education and welfare are the other major issues for policy-making in the 21st century (Baker). Realistic allocations can be made only when based on true population composition. This is illustrated by a recent decision not to adjust the 1990 US Census Bureau statistics, which disproportionately omit US Latino-residents and, as a result, understate the population bases on which congressional representation and decisions on program funding are made. This kind of resistance has repeatedly resulted in an incomplete policy agenda and the formation of the appropriate and responsive management of demographic change. The fast-aging character of the American population places the burden of caring for the elderly on minorities and immigrants. Current and projected demographic patterns indicate that the economic success of the nation depends more and more on the fate of the growing Chicano population. Their education and welfare can, therefore, not be ignored by policymakers (Baker)."

Counseling in a Target Population, 2006.
This paper discusses identifying theories of counseling in a target population and looks at reality therapy and solution-focused therapy in youth.
2,250 words (approx. 9.0 pages), 5 sources, $ 89.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explores two different forms of therapy and their likely impact as counseling aids among a target population. This is done through utilizing a case study approach in which a subject that is representative from the target population receives counseling through these two forms of therapy. Through using the case study approach, it is demonstrated how the use of reality therapy and solution-focuses therapy can potentially impact members of the target population when used in a counseling setting.
From the Paper
"The problem of interest in this case study approach is that of neglect and abandonment. Adolescents tend to be driven to find a community in which they belong and they seek to identify themselves with that community."

Abstract
This essay discusses the effects that human population growth has on the earth and the environment. As population increases, life sustaining resources are often depleted. Paul Ehrlich, Paul Harrison and Julian L. Simon shine significant light of varying perspectives and theoretical insight on these dark and ominous clouds of modern human forecast. The paper examines how, in three very diverse and distinguishable articles, they discuss the effects that population growth, environmental degradation and resource depletion will have on the environment and the future of human subsistence.
From the Paper
"Malthusians and Neo-Malthusians tend to regard environmental degradation as a direct result of human population growth. Ehrlich believes that while human population manifests itself in the form of food shortage and starvation in under-developed countries, it also triggers ?environmental deterioration? in more industrialized nations (Ehrlich 35). Harrison sees a decrease in population growth as the only formidable solution to environmental deterioration. He views humans as naturally destructive, and he feels that a depletion of this naturally negative force will eventually promote a more sound environment. Cornucopians like Julian Simon, however, believe that increased human population will produce more humans capable of solving problems attributed to population expansion. He suggests that humans are not the end, but the means."

Population Growth and the Environment, 2008.
This paper explores how population growth is harming our environment's resources.
1,786 words (approx. 7.1 pages), 7 sources, APA, $ 57.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how the exponential population growth on our planet is depleting our finite resources of land, water and fuel. The paper asserts that we are utilizing these three resources at unsustainable levels, as a result of population growth and human disconnect from the earth.
Outline:
Introduction
Land Depletion, Resources and Sprawl
Population and Water
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The world population has increased exponentially over the last 100 years, as technology and development outstrip the ability of the fragile planet to absorb the massive influx of polluting and needy people. To survive people must have land, water and fuel and yet, upon the earth such elements are finite, unless technology meets the demand for sustainable or human created sources of these elements."

The Prison Population, 2005.
Examines why the prisoner population in the United States is increasing rapidly.
1,330 words (approx. 5.3 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The prison system in the United States is not able to meet the growing demand for mandatory minimum sentences. In order to alleviate overcrowding in prisons, the private industry has been called upon to build and operate new prisons. Consequently, the population in private prisons is growing at four times the rate of the general prisoner population. The government is now renovating closed military bases and turning them into prisons, yet overcrowding still exists. The paper examines four reasons why this dynamic is occurring and is likely to continue if present conditions remain the same. The four reasons discussed are the climate of fear in the US population; the misdirection of funds from education to prison building; the "three-strikes" law; and the entry of private enterprises into the picture.
From the Paper
"If trends continue, more personal income will be spent on corrections than on higher education, while the burden on families to finance higher education will increase. In addition, teachers' salaries are taking a back seat to increased payroll for prison staffing. As states continue to lay off teachers to pay for corrections officers, citizens are becoming less educated and, consequently, less employable. This individual is precisely the most at-risk for criminal activity, and is most likely to find himself a member of the prison population."
