Overpopulation is an undesirable condition where the number of existing human population exceeds the carrying capacity of Earth. Overpopulation is caused by number of factors. Reduced mortality rate, better medical facilities, depletion of precious resources are few of the causes which results in overpopulation. It is possible for a sparsely populated area to become densely populated if it is not able to sustain life. The cause of over population are Decline in the Death Rate, Better Medical Facilities, More Hands to Overcome Poverty, Technological Advancement in Fertility Treatment, Immigration, and Lack of Family Planning.

If population growth is unsustainable, these are human ways to limit it. First, Empower women. It is easier to break out of poverty, while those who work are more likely to use birth control. Second, Promote family planning. Simply educating men and women about contraception can have a big impact.Our group aims to create a several online sources that will help people to help our society to prevent overpopulation.

Our group aims to create Change.org petition, a Facebook group and a Blog post to inform people on how to prevent overpopulation. We will be creating infographics and other related information connected to the social changes in our society. The scope of our project is to be able to reach the parent’s, teachers, and especially students to sign our petition.

We will be requiring a week to develop this project and we will start our promotion right after we uploaded the website. We will also be using our own resources so the funding for this project will be close to none. Our expences may only include printing of campaign materials and computer shop rentals incase we need more time outside school hours. We will alsobe using free services already offered by Facebook, WordPress and Change.org.

Should you have any questions about our project feel free to contact us at pixiedust@gmail.com.

Social change refers to any significant alteration over time in behavior patterns and cultural values and norms. By significant alteration, sociologists mean changes yielding profound social consequences. Examples of significant social changes having long term effects include the industrial revolution, the abolition of slavery, and the feminist movement. Today’s sociologists readily acknowledge the vital role that social movements play in inspiring discontented members of a society to bring about social change. Efforts to understand the nature of long term social change, including looking for patterns and causes, has led sociologists to propose the evolutionary, functionalist, and conflict theories of change.

Social change happens all the time. Not every social change will be as dramatic as 9/11. One clear way we can see social change happening is through technology. It seems that even the newest technology is outdated a few days after you purchase it! Not all changes occur as fast as technology – some changes (and societies) are much slower to adapt to change. Social change is sometimes intentional, but oftentimes unplanned. Industrial societies such as the United States actively promote many kinds of change. While many dreamed of the day when cell phones would be commonplace, very few could have imagined all the consequences that were created as a result of that one device. Social change is controversial. One only has to look at the various equal rights movements to see that social change, oftentimes, involves controversy. Even the various changes set into motion because of 9/11 were controversial in nature many of you will remember the various debates surrounding the passing of the Patriot Act. Some changes matter mote than others. Changes in hairstyles and clothing patterns (while embarrassing when looking at old pictures) carry little significance in the “big picture”. Other changes, such as the invention of the automobile, computer, and cell phone changed the way the word interacts. Our group aims to create a several online sources that will inform people about the social changes in the world or in the society.

“I’m free to be me, when I’m drug free!”

In society we face a number of problems. We face many different problems from ocean to ocean, but the problem that causes the most problems these days are drugs. With drugs come many different problems. Drugs cause bad decision making, committing crime, and gets people very addicted to bad habits. 
Drugs in the present day are causing people to make bad choices and bad decisions. Drugs aren’t necessarily making people do things that aren’t right, but make it so that people don’t think straight. When people don’t think straight they tend to make wrong choices. When people make wrong choices it usually puts people around them in danger, which isn’t good to have citizens endanger ever.
People go simply crazy is awful and sometimes drugs are the reason for going crazy. If you have ever seen the show Cops or anything like that most of the shows are filled with people going crazy and committing crimes. That leads into my next subject, committing crime because drugs. A lot of crimes like robbing, GTA, murder, Suicide, Homicide, DUI, etc., all are horrible things people do while on drugs. If the world was to crack down on drugs there would be a lot less crime and murders. Less crime and so on the world would be a way better place.
Bad habits are the worst thing about drugs. Common bad habits of drugs are skipping school, skipping work, and not paying bills, are just a few common habits caused by drugs. First off skipping school will get you no where, because when you skip a lot school you will get kicked out. Once you’re kicked out you have a slim chance of getting to college. Once college is ruled out then you have a very shy chance of getting a good paying job. Second off skipping work is just going to get you fired and that will look bad on your record if you ever go to get another job. Also then you wouldn’t be able to afford rent, insurance, bills, groceries, the drug itself, and whatever has to be paid. Once that happens you would lose everything that you were paying and paying off.
Imagine a world where there are no drugs what so ever. We wouldn’t have to fear as much about crime. No more worrying about what you chose to try because it wouldn’t drugs in it. No more worries about what kids are doing when parents don’t know where they are. The world would be a better place less crime, less bad decision making, less addicted people, and less whackos in our society. Our world would be drug free! Wouldn’t that be great?

Our mission is to create a drug-free generation through collaboration, innovation, education. We intend to transform the drug prevention field so that entire communities are equipped and empowered to lead children into adulthood drug-free. We offer educational materials that accurately depict drug and alcohol trends as well as ways families, friends and communities can promote drug prevention among today’s youth. Our vision can become a reality with the help of people who are committed to championing our cause for a drug-free generation and promoting drug prevention resources. Please join us in our mission to create a drug-free generation.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
