Population and Settlement 200 Word Essay

Population and Settlement

With North America expanding and growing bigger and bigger by the minute, the challenges grow bigger as well. Since more people are coming into this region of the world, they all need a place to settle. You have to clear agricultural lands to make more buildings, houses, etc. and this makes less and less rural areas. When people migrate here, they take jobs away from others. This creates another big problem which is not having enough jobs. With the population growing, there would be more traffic. There are also some positives. When more people settle in North America, the many cities will flourish. If people settle in North America, they will spend their money on various things which will help the economy. If North America’s economy does well, it will help the rest of the world’s economies. This is because the United States plays a big role in the global economy. In the book, it says that North America is one of the world’s most decentralized urban settings. This means they distribute administrative powers to less populated areas. So, even though it may be a problem with more people and less jobs, the powers would be spread out to different areas with less people. Population as well as settlement effects North America, the continent in which we live, more than we think in both positive and negative ways.
