The examples that Hardin are using seem not realistic for some people. In this case, because death is a sensitive topic for human beings, Hardin successfully interests his readers by portraying the problem as a lifeboat. By using the lifeboat ethic to explain that each lifeboat can only carry so many people, Hardin clearly states that the resources of the world are limited; if the resources are extremely used, neither the rich nor the poor have enough resources to last in the long run (COORD). .
Next, Hardin mentions that even if the rich people in the lifeboat yield their places to the poor people swimming in the ocean, it doesn't change the basic problem since the lifeboat does not have enough spaces for all the people in the water.(SUBORD) Hardin asserts that the differences of living conditions between the rich and the poor will be greater by comparing the extremely huge gap of rate of population growth between the two groups . Then, Hardin goes back to talk about the more difficulty that the lifeboat may have, after giving an idea to his readers about the rate of growing population, which makes its readers consider that more population elevates the unfair resources' sharing to the next level. There is not enough resources for everyone in the world. (EMPH).
The way Hardin explains negative effects on both the rich and the poor implicitly and explicitly addresses the problem that limiting population is very important. Hardin first defines the tragedy of the commons as "if people do not manage their desire for needs and nobody controls it, resources that remain will be eventually destroyed." He explains that more and more people want to get more from their environment, but the number of people who want to protect these resources is decreasing. Hardin also implies people lack self-restraint and awareness of danger. As an example, the World Food Bank, which is a food storage for the undeveloped nations when people in their countries experience emergencies or crisis, was created by humanitarian people that believe that helping the poor is the biggest issue at the time, but ignore what the real help is for these countries.
