Review of "Population Overload"

Uploaded by : Essays-Now.com

A 4 page paper reviewing and critiquing Lou Dobbs' article, "Population Overload," which appeared in a newsmagazine in 2003, rehashing and updating many of the old complaints originating in the 1960s and 1970s leading to a doom-and-gloom outlook for the future of America. Dobbs correctly identifies many problems facing the US today – overcrowded, inefficient schools; inadequate health care systems; increased pressure on natural resources; urban sprawl; and the pressures of an increasingly large population that chooses not to adopt the language of the land. The problems are real and solution is difficult, uncomfortable or both; but Dobbs insists that America needs to treat symptoms of our problems rather than the causes. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
