Mediated Brief

There are 6.66 million people in the world today. In 2050, there will be 9.4 million people. This exponential growth in population has become the major problem of the world. Problems such as poverty and world hunger stem from this hot issue. In order to reduce the population growth, Mother Nature has its ways to fix this problem. HIV has become a major killer all over the world killing millions of people and leaving many children parent less. Millions of people die each year from hunger and malnutrition. Although Mother Nature does a good job mediating its population, there are 350,000 births a day and only 160,000 deaths a day. As exponential as the growth is, we cannot rely on Mother Nature alone. We have to take an active role in reducing the population grown. Family planning programs have been promoted in several countries and has been proven to work. Policies such as the one-child policy in China has reduced their population growth. Whatever we do, we must do our best to help the natural way of reducing the worlds populations growth.

You undermine any mediated solution with your last sentence: "Whatever we do, we must do our best to help the natural way of reducing the worlds populations growth." This statement makes your whole argument suggestive at best and opinionated. I need evidence to support your opinion.

Edit your posts. Mediated "Brie" sounds like what McDonalds would serve as an appetizer, if they had appetizers. There are close to, if not slightly more than, 300 MILLION people in the United States alone. Even Wikipedia has a more accurate figure at 6.6 BILLION people.

You need to discuss ways that reducing population growth will be beneficial for the world, instead of talking about natural ways people die. Why do I want to consider an argument for world population "birth control." What are the foreseeable disadvantages to the increasing world population? Why should I care? Appeal to your audience.
