Introduction
The rapid rise in population growth rates is an undeniable fact. Observed over the past several decades, the consistent increase in population on a global level has been a reason for multiple concerns. Mostly justified by resource scarcity and the increase in poverty rates, the specified concern has sparked ideas regarding population control as a response to the likely global emergency. However, since performing population control on a global level with sufficient consistency is not only challenging but also unethical, it needs to be avoided.
Discussion
Currently, the concerns regarding the increasing rate of population growth have been voiced primarily by scientists. However, the adverse effects of overpopulation are visible even to uninitiated general audiences as the issue of resource scarcity is becoming increasingly more concerning (Andersson et al., 2021). Therefore, the rationale for global population control is evident and understandable. However, the specified idea may clash with some of the cultural and religious perceptions, therefore, creating breeding grounds for conflicts and controversies. Additionally, the lack of access to healthcare and, therefore, sex education, as well as the relevant birth control resources, is significantly restricted for a variety of disadvantaged groups globally (Andersson et al., 2021). Therefore, introducing a population control policy currently represents an endeavor that is not only ethically questionable but also nearly impossible. The U.S. cultural imperialism has been a subject of a rather contentious debate recently. On the one hand, the cultural impact of American society is undeniable, with the core trends within the global popular culture being driven by the U.S. media and entertainment (Muyskens, 2021). On the other hand, the propensity toward recognizing the importance of other cultures has been quite prominent in the global cultural landscape recently (Muyskens, 2021).
Conclusion
As a result, trends from and unique aspects of other cultures have emerged in the global cultural context lately (Muyskens, 2021). With the focus on global knowledge sharing and collaboration, as well as active cultural exchange, the traditions, beliefs, and ideas of other ethnicities and races can be represented in the global cultural landscape.
