A hot-air balloon debate is a debate in which a number of speakers attempt to win the approval of an audience. The audience is invited to imagine that the speakers are flying in a hot-air balloon which is sinking and that someone must be thrown out if everyone is not to die. Each speaker has to make the case why they should not be thrown out of the balloon to save the remainder. You will represent one of major players in the population versus resources debate. You will write an oral presentation explaining why the major player that you represent shouldn't be thrown out of the hot-air balloon.

Essay Title "There are differing interpretations of the relationship between world population and resources. Some people believe that the amount of resources available acts as a limit to the growth of population; others believe that population growth stimulates the development of technology which will use resources more efficiently." Discuss each of these views in more detail, and describe and evaluate the evidence which leads you to agree or disagree with each of them. The views should be discussed in terms of the global scale, but you may support your answer with examples at national and/or continental scales. [20 Marks] |
