A World without Scarcity



A World without Scarcity



An infinite quantity of resources is the dream of every society, the idea of having infinite resources makes us think about all the possible advances the society could have, but by showing this image Im trying to tell you that there are positive and negative sides in a situation like this.There would be enough resources for the survival of poor communities. Many problems such as hunger would be solved; the most important resources such as water and food would be infinite. The constant fighting for territories or resources like oil would be over.



It’s incredible to imagine such a world, without problems, and resources for every single person, there would be enough jobs for the people and hopefully a better distribution of the resources. Maybe this could also end with any kind of crisis; probably there would be no crime because everyone would have enough resources. Other problems such as immigration would be over because there is no necessity in immigrating if there are enough resources in the place where you live.



Even if many global problems could be solved, there is no perfect world, not even with infinite resources. Some problems like overpopulation would become even worse because there no necessity of moving from a place if the resources are enough, so the populations would concentrate in a determined place and as a consequence communities become bigger. The problem that could affect our world in a severe way is the pollution, with a lot of resources there would be more and more wastes causing damage to the environment. By thinking about this I realized that there is no perfect world.
