PALUDI
In the present historical and social period it is necessary to focus on one of the main problems of our planet, overpopulation. A key element from which arise behavioral and environmental discomforts. A dynamic system that, from fluid and organized, distorts and tangles on itself until it nullifies itself. When you reach what science calls the "critical point", the rupture of the global balance leads to seek solutions for survival and individual well-being by feeding a generalized disease that has no other epilogue than the annulment of humanity. A theme closely linked to the rapid technological and social advancement. Ethically uncomfortable, left aside until the end will be inevitable. The work wants to bring awareness to the consideration showing a possible future of the human race inspired by social experiments carried out by ethologist John B. Calhoun. These themselves led him to coin the term "behavioral sink" to describe the collapse of a society due to behavioral abnormalities caused by overpopulation. "Procreation is today an ecological crime." (Pier Paolo Pasolini)
