The Tragedy of the Commons
Garrett Hardin
In "The Tragedy of the Commons" Hardin talks about mankind's uncontrollable need to breed as it leads to the result of increasing population. Which then interrupts the environmental health of our planet.
Freedom of the commons means common things or action we share between just about anyone in the world, and the freedom to do these common actions without limits. Hardin gives two examples of the tragedy of freedom in a commons. He names pollution and the freedom to breed as a tragedy. What makes them tragedies are the fact that these two aspects are controlled by the common people. If the common people wants to increase their population, then they will The two intertwines because if population increases then pollution will increase as well.(Not just pollution, but many other environmental problems will also increase.)
Hardin believes that if we abandon the freedom to breed, it can put an end to the tragedy of the commons with the help of education through the common people.
