Summary of the Event (at least 3 major points; each point will have its own paragraph)

Throughout the years many countries have been having some population growth. The
highest country with the most population growth was Asia. After World War 2 that was
when all of the population growth started. Throughout the 20th century each additional
billion has been achieved in a shorter period of time. World population expanded to about
300 million by A.D. 1 and continued to grow at a moderate rate.
 Your Opinion of the Event (at least 3 sentences).
I honestly didnt even know that our world was having such a huge growth in the population.
Asia had the most growth throughout all of the countries. By having such a big growth in the
population would that ever be a problem to our environment?

Relate your Event to a Historical Event (compare and contrast with current event).
In the article that I read about the population growth it was explaining how the population of
many countries accelerated right after World War 2 ended.

Questions You Have About the Event (4).

Do you think since so many countries have such a big number in the population growth
that it would affect our environment, or the way we live?
Would the population in different countries ever go down?
