Population, Urbanization, and the Environment

In reading Chapter 20 on Demography and Population, give your take on what theory is best applicable to the current state of population growth in the US, or if you'd like, globally.  Please reference the theory, and show that you have a good understanding of how it may be applied to today's society.

Please keep your responses to no longer than 4 paragraphs, as 

you don't necessarily need to explain every detail.
