Every one minute Australia's population increases by a new person, currently making Australia the gold medallist of growth! Our population is rising at a faster rate than any European nation, and faster than China, India and Indonesia. In 2009 record levels of overseas migration and childbirth increased our population by 480,000 people and by 2050 it's predicted Australia's population will reach 36 million. According to Dick Smith, that's a recipe for disaster. Taking into account the serious challenges of lack of water, poor soil and urban congestion, Dick believes we need to stabilise our population, not increase it.
Aubrey Love 6/6/2011 LA Cluster Sem: 8 Gang Culture Changing Los Angeles Los Angeles is the largest city on the West Coast, the most populous in California, home to more than 3.5 million citizens, and the second most populous city in the nation, following New York City. Nicknamed the “City of Angels,” L.A. houses people from more than 140 countries speaking 224 different languages. But is Los Angeles really a “City of Angels?” L.A.’s cultural diversity causes the city to be divided into many neighborhoods, many of which were towns that were annexed by the growing city. Although Los Angeles is diverse, with this diversity comes animosity between certain ethnic groups fighting for a recognition and territory. Los Angeles is often referred to as the “gang capital of North America” home to some of the world’s most notorious gangs.
As of 2010, with the total population of the United States at 310.2 million individuals, White Non-Hispanic Americans are 64.7 percent of the United States population. While the second largest racial group in America is Hispanics with 16 percent of the population. According to the trends, the population is estimated to be at about 439 million in the year 2050. That's quite a rise in the population in the next 40 years (129 million) and who knows the impact it will have on our economy and job availability. It is also estimated that White Non-Hispanic Americans will be less than half the population at this point with 46.3 percent of the population being that race.

"The State's university system, once the envy of the nation, has fallen in quality combined with increased demands for admission by an ever-growing number of applicants," says the CAPS report. In the schools, from kindergarten through twelfth grade, enrollments rose from 4.8 million in 1990-91 to almost 6 million ten years later. By 2000, "there were more Hispanics than other children enrolled in the State's schools." California is currently spending $6,837 per student, "so more than $16 billion was spent last year on students whose native language was other than English." California has been so mismanaged by its governors and legislature that it is billions in debt.
