Consider that agricultural and technological advances allow for a much larger carrying capacity of humans on the planet. Would you be in favor of this? Based on what you have learned throughout the lesson and web research you will conduct, outline at least three consequences that you may be able to foresee occurring with such a scenario.( i kinda get it but dont).....

Hi, and welcome to QuestionCove! When the question mentions "a much larger carrying capacity", that refers to the level of population that can be sustained by a species, yes? So, the premise is that agriculture and technology have allowed humans to support and sustain a much larger population than was previously possible in history. And then the question asks you whether you are in support or against this trend. You should try to consider some of the effects that this change on the human population has had. You might consider the impact this has had on the natural environment, the issues relating to sustainability, shifts in culture and society resulting from increased population, perhaps even political or economic factors, etc. There are many things you could point to or draw from to formulate your response. First of all, I think you should try to figure out your stance on the question, based on knowledge or information that you have available to you. This might require you to do some research and thinking on your own; if you can find out for yourself how you feel about the topic, you'll be well on your way to answering the question. Once that is done, you'll next want to figure out "why" you feel the way you do and also how you want to present your perspective in the form of writing. I can try to be around to provide guidance on that when we get to that stage, if you'd like :)
