1. Explain and give Example; The Malthusian trap.

(Textbook says; "A point at which the world is no longer able to meet the food requirements of the population, and starvation becomes the primary check to population growth." In other words, population will outpace food production.)

1. Discuss whether you believe this trap has been avoided for the next 100 years. Consider government policies (like China's one-child policy), the use of genetically engineered crops, social patterns of family size, and environmental factors.
