REFLECTION: (Write an essay of not less than 2(short bond paper) pages, double space, 1 cm border all

throughout, font size 12, arial narrow)

Given that the transformation of areas (from

rural to urban, country to town and cities)

always has a tremendous effect to the

environment, can our environment and natural

resources still support the biological needs of

the growing population? What is your stand in

the hotly contested debate on the countrys RH

Bill? Do you think that population should be

stabilized in less developed countries like the

Philippines and the slow rate of population

growth in developed countries like in the USand European countries be ignored? Why?

Why not?

The World of 7 Billion is a good read for this

exercise. Visit our class e_group for copy.
