TEDtalk "Box by Box"

In this TEDtalk video the speaker, Hans Rosling elaborates on the dangers and solutions of population growth using boxes. This simple utilization of boxes gave me true insight on what can really be done to combat population growth. As he explained in the video, the main factors contributing to dramatic growth is the gap between developing countries and developed countries as well as child mortality rates around the world. If we can combat these two facets of drastic growth then we will be able to stop the world’s detrimental expansion. But we can only do this if members of the world work together. The United States as a developed country needs to help lead the way and foster other countries development. We need to send supplies such as medicine and vaccines that will help young children in developing countries survive. Like Mr. Rosling said, developed countries like America need to serve as a base, and with only a strong foundation can the world begin to bridge the gaps.
