In some ways I disagree yet agree that the modern world is indeed a victim of the Malthusian Flux. I agree because it seems logical that in order for the population to decrease you need something out of the ordinary to stop it. Just like what the Malthusian Flux had mentioned about disease and war. I don't think that he took into consideration how revolution and evolution was going to play out in the future. But the Malthusian Flux was made a really long time ago. I disagree that the modern world is indeed a victim of the Malthusian flux because of the key word victim. According to some websites and blogs people think that the Malthusian Flux is wrong. This is because Thomas Malthus thought that the world's population hit itʻs peak during his time of writing the theory. But little did he know the modern world is estimated to have 9 billion people by 2050, with 7 billion people now. During his time he thought World War I was a war to end all wars but in reality it was the war that changed all wars. Citations:
