The world is filled with several problems that plague humanity.
can be as prosperous the United States which is not as troubled as much with poverty as.
those other countries. Johnson C. Montgomery argues that the United States should not.
share with other counrties until the United States has enough food and resources to.
support the nation. The world expects the United States to come to their rescue while.
other countries are continuing on the path of reporducing a population born into counrty.
with limited resources. Poorly planned parenthoods and the increase of those born into.
poverty are creating an unbalanced system in which the United States is the main porvider.
for those in poverty.
Johnson C. Montgomery, a member of Zero Population Growth, argues in his.
essay "The Island of Plenty" that there must be an abundant amount of food and resources.
to feed all of the people in the United States before we start to help out other countries. .
Montgomery compare the United States to a fertile land isolated from the rest of the.
world, and suggests that the problem is not to food quatnity that we posses but the.
amount of people that need it. The number of people is growing and Montgomery takes.
into consideration that we have tried to help other countries before , but since we have.
helped, acording to Montogmery "There have never been more miserable, deprived people.
in the world than there are right now." (Montgomery 329) He also breifly speaks about.
the orginization that he was in and how he has taken some steps to help not overpopulate.
the earth, by haveing only two children. He belives that the future is our children and that.
we should concretrate on making sure that there are enough resources for the next.
generation. Montgomery feels the need to help other countries, but he first wants to help.
our country. He know that some would argue that what he talks about is inhumane, but in.
the end ".reality is inhumane.
