Problem Based Learning 1 : The Purge
Fact 3:
At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the world’s population transitioned from being primarily rural to primarily urban
The activities that lead the transitioned of primarily rural to primarily urban
Migration of people from rural to urban areas based on the “push” and “pull” factors.
“Pull” factor is people come to a place which provide more resources, healthcare and education.
“Push” factor is when people are moves away from the place that are lack of job opportunities and resources.
The significant events that happened during the beginning of the twenty-first century
Fact 1
:
Human population is a dynamic force in reshaping the planet
How human population play a role in changing the dynamics of the world
Human population growth have interrelationship with land use, land cover and global climate change - will demand on other natural resources
The three important processes in determining population growth and distribution: Fertility, Mortality and Migration (which changes the dynamic of the world)
Human population increases, demand of natural resources and land productivity increase, which may also cause emigration
Drastic climate change and decrease in environmental quality lead to increase in mortality
How the dynamic force reshapes the planet
The difference in birth and death rates (by observing the increasing population trend of human dramatically over the decades)
Increasing in population of human will proportionally increases the urbanization and utilization of natural resources (sustainable or unsustainable ways)
Fact 6:
The Purge occurs for 12 hours, March 21 1900H – March 22 0700H. The next day, during which all crime is legal and all police, fire, and medical emergency services remain unavailable.
The effect of The Purge if there are police, fire and medical emergency services available.
There were medical emergency services available during The Purge’s night but volunteered by a non-government organization
The service helped many people that were injured during the night of The Purge
The police, fire and medical emergency services will take in control
Fact 2
:
Advances in agriculture, sanitation, and health care have contributed to a dramatic increase in the number of people over the last few centuries.
The advances in agriculture, sanitation, and health care have contributed to a dramatic increase in the number of people over the last few centuries
Agricultural revolution has allowed billions of people to be added to the population in the past few decades as agriculture allowed people to have a steady food source
The Industrial Revolution brought new machinery. Food supply increased, and sanitation improved, which leads to the reducing spread of diseases. More children lived long enough to reach adulthood, hence population grow rapidly. Higher growth rate and low death rate.
Vaccinations and antibiotics have greatly improved human health
The effects of a dramatic increase of number of people over the last few centuries from the advancement in those sectors
Sanitation
The growth in human population require advancement in sanitation
Poor sanitation is linked to transmission of diseases such as cholera, diarrhea, dysentery, hepatitis A, typhoid and polio and exacerbates stunting
Poor sanitation reduces human well-being, social and economic development due to impacts such as anxiety, risk of sexual assault, and lost educational opportunities
The sanitary facilities were improved over last centuries due to increase in human population growth. Nowadays, people are more understanding the effects of poor sanitary towards health.
Agriculture
Increase in human population followed by agricultural development resulted in improvement of human health and nutrition
High demand of nutritional food increase the technology of food production and generate more income
Fact 7:
As a consultant of an Environmental Regulatory Agency you were to access the extent of damage caused by the overpopulated human especially in the hotspot biodiversity areas and discuss on the possibility of using THE PURGE mechanism in a real world situation
The role of Environmental Regulatory Agency
It is an agency of the United States federal government whose mission is to protect human and environmental health
EPA is responsible for creating standards and laws promoting the health of individuals and the environment
Hotspot biodiversity areas
Indo-Burma
Philippines ( Southeast Asia)
Madagascar ( Southeast Coast of Africa)
Sri Lanka (South of India)
California Floristic Province (California USA)
Sundaland
Forest of East Australia
The advantages and disadvantages of The Purge mechanism in real world situations
Advantages
Increase tourists attraction for the murder tourism
Create a better nation where the strongest and more adapted individuals will survive
Boost the country’s economy
Preventing the country from exceeding the maximum carrying capacity
Disadvantages
Less medical care and less residential care
Uncontrollable murdering of innocent people
High crime rates
Compete for survival, increasing mortality of less strong and adapted individuals
The other methods that can control human population (except The Purge Mechanism)
Government incentives
Increase educational level as most of educated people tend to have small number of children and know the effects of having many children.
Promote family planning
One child policy such as in China should be implemented
Easy and cheap availability of contraceptives
Proper enforcement of law related to child labour, slavery and beggary
Development
The possibilities to use The Purge mechanism in our current or future generations
Possible
In future, human population on earth might exceed its maximum carrying capacity. Intraspecific competition might occur where humans will compete for survival and resources to live. This is where the strongest, fittest and adaptable individuals will survive, before equilibrium is reached
Not Possible
Human population level on earth might not yet reached the maximum capacity level in future. There is still enough resources for every individual. Furthermore, human population level is still maintained within the normal level.
Fact 5:
The Purge has resulted in unemployment rates plummeting to 1%, low crime, and a strong economy
The reasons of decreasing unemployment rates, low crime and create a strong economy from the event that is plotted in the movie.
Fact 4:
American movies of The Purge and its sequels Purge Anarchy and Purge Election Year have visualized a mechanism that can control human population as well as boost up the American economy.
Reasons why government in the movie choose such mechanism or event to control the human population
The government wants to boost the country's economy with the participants’ payment for The Purge. The Purge event of the country is considered as a murder tourism. It will attract people from different countries to participate in The Purge
It is a method for the government to eliminate the low income people or the homeless to make a better nation for the country
The Purge event is considered an intra-specific competition where everyone in the event are not granted immunity and also not exempted where they compete to survive.
The event that controls human population and boosts up American economy, based on the movie
The event name is The Purge, where all crimes are legal and the police, medical and emergency services are not available
The contribution of the event in helping to increase America's economy
The payment from the participants of The Purge will increase the country's income.
The increasing number of tourists that visits America to join ‘The Purge’ event
