In order for a society to survive,
the poor must execute preventative population checks so that the
food supply will be sustained. These preventative population checks are
ways that man control the population to a point at which food supply is
sufficient enough for a society to be able to function properly. These preventative
population checks consist of abstinence or limiting the amount of children per
family. This method of controlling the population is necessary because food
supply is a linear growth while population growth is exponential, therefore the
population must be controlled enough so that there is enough food. Also,
another reason that Malthus argues that checks are necessary is because without
them the poor will continue to grow in size due to their low incomes and high
costs to support a large family. With these checks on the poor, Malthus
believes this will solve the problem of ever having an insufficient amount of
food or resources to support the society.
Overall a good paragraph, but I believe that you can elaborate more on why it is the poor that must execute the checks and not everybody.
ReplyDeleteThanks, ill work on it =)
DeleteI think that your overall paragraph is strong, but you should expand a bit more on the evidence that you gave.
ReplyDeleteYou could talk about how the poor blame the government and why they are in poverty. In addition, you could talk about the positive checks. Other than these two additions, it's very good.
