The continued rise in the world’s population is the greatest problem faced by humanity at the present time. What are the causes of this continued rise? Do you agree that it is the greatest problem faced by humanity?

The

last

fifty years have seen a rapid and tremendous rise in the population worldwide and

this

is expected to more than doubling in the

next

fifty years.

This

is undoubtedly a considerable event and the question inevitably arises about the causes of

this

trend and its burden for mankind. Many experts argue that the advancements in medicine seen in the

last

century are one of the causes of

this

rise. They believe, according to a recent research of an international institute of health, that some discoveries, including antibiotics and vaccines, have allowed many people to survive a number of life-threatening diseases in their

first

decades of life.

This

has thereby cut the death rates leading to

this

increasing trend. Another considerable explanation, it can be argued, deals with the broad availability of food that humankind has experienced in the

last

decades. A report from the FAO has demonstrated a positive correlation between food availability and the likelihood of survival in more than 30 different countries due to a remarkable reduction in malnutrition. In

this

regard,

this

substantial fall could have abated one of the largest hinders to human survival, the lack of nourishment. To sum up, in the

last

century humanity has reached considerable

Although

needs, leading

to the necessity of deciding whether humans are to overlook the most challenging crisis of its history.
