selection 7: The Tragedy Of The Commons.

Technical solutions are described as one that demands a change only in the techniques of the natural sciences, requiring little or nothing in the way of change in human values or morality conception. However, technical solutions fail to solve some of the contemporary issues such as overpopulation. In other words, those who agonize over the population issues try to solve that problem abandoning any of the granted benefits they enjoy. In a technical way, overpopulation problem can not possibly be solved .First and foremost, let's discuss the real facts that should be looked at in order to understand how population size can be maintained.
Tragedy of freedom in commons. Taking a closer look, men rush toward ruin, by pursuing his/her own property rights and interests. Freedom in a commons brings ruin to a society that believes in that freedom. For instance, national parks are open to all public without any limitation. However, these parks are confined and restricted within certain limits and the values people seek in these parks are deteriorating.
pollution is related to the tragedy of the commons. In other words, what would result in pollution here, is the act of putting something in instead of the taking something out of the commons as it is normally seen. For instance, introducing chemical wastes into the air, and distracting the line of sight with unpleasant advertising signs. Private properties can not be the solution for such thing, as air and water cannot be fenced but they can be preserved by coercive laws.
Freedom to breed is intolerable, and conscience is self-eliminating. Breeding cannot be controlled by an appeal to conscience.
Coercion, is the carefully biased options given to the citizen instead of calling it a prohibition. Mutual coercion is the one that most people agree upon as it would favor the conscienceless. Enclosure of commons does indeed involve violation of a citizen's personal liberty. For that matter, when Men mutually agree to a sort of coercion, mankind become more free, and freedom is recognition of necessity according the Hegel.
