The world population is touching 8 billion. Looking at the speed with which the human population is increasing across the globe, it is estimated that by 2050, the total human population will reach 10 billion or more. This is a huge number, which poses danger in terms of food supply and other day-to-day necessities. The burden of the human population is increasing each year, while humans are destroying other creatures and trees for their greed. The life of all living beings in nature is dependent on each other. This makes an ecosystem. The bio-balance of the earth is disturbed when the number of any of these organisms or vegetation increases or decreases out of proportion. All kinds of natural calamities and problems arise. Man is increasing his population, and is bent on destroying trees, vegetation, insects, birds, animals, and wildlife. This is a matter of great concern. Problems are arising due to this reason in all the countries. In terms of population, China ranks first in the world, India is second, and America is in third place.
As the population increases, facilities like education, health, and housing decline. The crisis of the availability of fuel to food arises in front of the world. Due to the increasing population, problems related to the environment, food supply, water shortage, energy crunch, unemployment, etc. arise in all the countries. As the population increases, the standard of living falls and problems creep in. About 17 percent of the world’s population lives in India, where illiteracy is the main reason for population growth.
About 50 per cent of the world’s population (8 billion) is present on various social media platforms. That is, about 4 billion people are active on social media. Of these, 30 per cent of social media users are those who are below 30 years of age. To attract most of these youth and make them join their gangs, terrorists are super active on social media. 90 per cent of terrorist activities are being carried out through social media only. IS is considered the world’s most dangerous terrorist organisation, which has 70 million followers on Twitter. Taliban and IS use social media, including platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, and WhatsApp, to recruit new members to execute their terrorist operations. These people make videos of terrorist incidents and post them on social media and make them viral. They earn huge income from the advertisements running on their social media accounts.
Apart from climate and natural disasters, other problems facing the world population include wars, conflicts, and economic or political tensions between different countries. For example, in Sri Lanka the situation is very bad. Their people do not have food to eat, and there is no petrol and diesel available for transport or travel. The nation remains politically unstable. The economies of south-east Asian nations like Sri Lanka and Pakistan have collapsed due to their dependence on China. A situation like Sri Lanka can get repeated in Pakistan any day, as is estimated by political experts. People in Sri Lanka are facing a severe shortage of food and fuel. There is an atmosphere of extreme anarchy in the country.
