1] Introduction:
The population of India was around 361 million during the census of
1951. It reached over 1.21 billion during the census of 2011.
The developed countries in the West or in countries like Japan which are
rich enough to employ all their people according to their abilities the
growth of population may prove to be a boon, for the rapid growth of
industries and national wealth always need greater workforce to
implement the programs of development in ever-expanding spheres.
However, a developing country like India, where the resources and
employment opportunities are limited, the rapid increase in population
during the post-independent has negatively affected its economy.
The rapid growth of the world's population over the past one hundred
years results from a difference between the rate of birth and the rate of
death.
1.2 Causes of population explosion:
Until recently, birth rates and death rates were about the same,
keeping the population stable. People had many children, but a
large number of them died before age of five.
During the Industrial Revolution, a period of history in Europe and
North America where there were great advances in science and
technology, the success in reducing death rates was attributable to
several factors:
(1) increases in food production and distribution,
(2) Improvement in public health (water and sanitation), and
(3) Medical technology (vaccines and antibiotics), along with gains
in education and standards of living within many developing
nations.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
Poor Health: If people do not get adequate food and nutrition, then they
may suffer from poor health.
Pollution and Global warming: Too much population causes too much
pressure on earth. There arises excessive demand for finished products
leading to over-industrialization and over-utilization of resources. The
industrial discharges, and fumes are the chief causes for water and air
pollution. Further, the poisonous gases released because of burning of
fossil fuels in factories is widely responsible for Global warming.
1.5 Solutions
The government made this awareness, at the central and state to think
about adopting an official program to educate opinion and reduce the birth
rate so that the Population can fit in well with the evolving pattern of
developing country.
Population projections represent the playing out into the future of a set of
as-sumptions about future fertility and mortality rates. More public
education is needed to develop more awareness about population
issues.
B] Human rights
Human rights are the basic rights and freedoms that belong to every
person in the world, from birth until death. They apply regardless of
where you are from, what you believe or how you choose to live your
life. They can never be taken away, although they can sometimes be
restricted for example if a person breaks the law, or in the interests of
national security.
These basic rights are based on values like dignity, fairness, equality,
respect and independence. But human rights are not just abstract
concepts they are defined and protected by law. In Britain our human
rights are protected by the Human Rights Act 1998.
Weve produced this short animation to show why human rights are so
important and how they protect us in our day-to-day lives.
The atrocities of the Second World War made the protection of human
rights an international priority. The formation of the United Nations paved
the way for more than 50 Member States to contribute to the final draft of
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted in 1948. This was
the first attempt to set out at a global level the fundamental rights and
freedoms shared by all human beings.
All human beings are born with equal and inalienable rights and
fundamental freedoms
In ages past, there were no human rights. Then the idea emerged that
people should have certain freedoms. And that idea, in the wake of
World War II, resulted finally in the document called the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights and the thirty rights to which all people are
entitled.
