Chpt. 20

Thought the years the worlds populations has steadily increased. And with that comes the demands of many things such as food, resources, clothing, etc. And the people of today are running out of these things. Back in the twentieth century we hit a very important boom as far as technology, and modernization, not just it one part of the world but worldwide. One of the biggest booms was both World Wars. The amount of causalities that were lost on all sides, plus the toll that our planet took was monumental and still being felt in today. Also another big factor was the uprising of superpowers in the world. Both the Soviet Union and the United States had become the "Britain" in the world. Some believe that we are in the modern era, and others think that we are in an era know as Anthropocene which is "the age of man". The reason behind this is that we are creating the biggest mark on the world thus far but also changing the earth geological, atmospheric, and biological history. Now the question arises: Are we going to destroy the planet to the point of no return in this century?
