I. Introduction
     a) By 2030, about 2 billion of the world's estimated 8.1 billion will live in slums.
     b) By definition a slum is ,"a densely populated usually urban area marked by crowding, dirty run-down housing, poverty, and social disorganization." (Webster's Dictionary)
     c)Slums negatavly affect the world's population because they contain a large quantity of people, litter due to the lack of facilities, and sickness that can spread as a result of the lack of good health care.
     d)One of the main reasons slums negatively affect the world's population is because they contain too many people.


II. Main Point 1
     a)Too many residents is one main reason why slums negatively affect the world's population.
     b)
        i.[Quote from Source 4] (80% Nigeria's pop. live in slums, 56% of India's)
        ii. Because the slums contain so many people ,this adds to the world's ever growing population.
     c)This means more overcrowding and more litter on the Earth. More polluation.
     d).The litter which helps create sicknesses slowly kill the environment and make it worse for the population.
III. Main Point 2
     a)All the litter in slums not only cause disease  but they also kill the environment.
     b)
        i."And a muddy swamp of plastic bags obstructs the entrance to the latrine. It's a collection of what's known in slum vernacular as 'Flying Toilets' - flimsy bags filled with human waste."
        ii. All these plastic bags filled with human waste mix with the drinking water.
     c) All the bags are very harmful to the environment because they never decompose. And because the people live in a slum they cannot get rid of all the plastic bags and litter. So when it rains ,whatever is mixed in with the litter will also mix with their drinking water.
     d)The easy spread of sicknesses is another way the world's population is affected negatively by slums.
IV. Main Point 3
     a)In slums, sickness can spread easily because the residents cannot afford healthcare.
     b)
       i."Human waste leeches into the water people drink and contaminates the food they eat."
       ii.The contamination of food and water they eat equals sickness. And because they cannot afford health care the sickness can spread easily.
     c)When more people get sick they pass it on to even more people.
     d)All of these factors affect the world's population negatively.
V. Conclusion
     a)By 2030, about 2 billion of the world's estimated 5 billion will live in slums.
     b)Slums negatavly affect the world's population because they contain violence, litter due to the lack of facilities, and sickness that can spread as a result of the lack of good health care.
     c) The violence in slums can kill people and is used by corrupt individuals to earn money from slum residents ,all the litter in the slums creates sicknesses when it mixes with drinking water and food. These sickenesses cannot be easily treated due to slum resident's lack of health care.
