What are the tragedy of the commons?
I learnt about this study in my Grade 12 World Issues class, as this could be applied to other problems that we face such as population growth. Hardin had made this connection to the tragedy of the commons. The world is like the common pastureland finite, and population is like the grazing livestocks, growing uncontrollably. If population continues to increase like the livestocks on the pastureland did, humanity might suffer the same consequences of the livestock.
