How to use "Proliferation" in context?
Proliferation is the spread of a dangerous or unwanted technology, practice, or weapon. It can be used to describe the uncontrolled spread of something like a disease, or the spread of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). It can also refer to the spread of knowledge or ideas. Proliferation can be a danger to both the environment and human societies. There are a number of ways to stop the proliferation of dangerous technologies and weapons. One way is to establish strong public policy and government control over technology. Another approach is to use intelligence and law enforcement to stop the proliferation of WMDs.
