MODULE FIVE – Population Dynamics
Review this article: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2011/01/seven-billion/kunzig-text/1
This assignment relates to the National Geographic article resource Population7 Billion (see citation on next page), which explores challenges that will be faced if the world’s population continues to grow at current rates, as well as ways to address them. Although scientists have great faith in the ability of human ingenuity to increase agricultural production and decrease current environmental degradation, evidence suggests that the planet’s resources will be severely stressed by another exponential cycle (doubling) of population growth, thereby impacting our ability to provide for more individuals.

This is a discussion question.
Concern about population growth relates to the idea that there’s only so much food, water, and energy to go around; however, human ingenuity has always seemed to find ways to provide for the planet’s people–no matter the growing numbers. Concern about biodiversity loss relates to the idea that fewer species on the planet will eventually disrupt ecosystem function and limit access to natural resources; however, scientists recognize that a few “keystone species” dictate environmental health–perhaps the other species are not essential. What does research show?
Instructions:
1. Put “biodiversity loss” or “population growth” in the subject line to indicate which of these environmental issues your post discusses, then conduct research in regards to whether or not we should be concerned.
2. Explain your findings in detail, providing an overview of the information you found; you must reference at least one outside resource (research) and one module resource within the text of your post.
With reference to relevant academic theory and extensively using industry examples, critically assess ‘sources of value’ for entrepreneurs considering a start-up business.
