World’s Biggest Problems

         World’s Biggest Problems

1. Clean water

Access to clean water around the world is scarce. Water, especially in the Middle East has become a commodity equal to oil. 

A solution for this problem might be funding for scientific research into natural economical ways to filter water.

2. Unemployment 

Even though the economy is regaining its rigor, unemployment is still a huge problem that causes inequality and tension between citizens.

Economists everywhere agree that a solution to this problem would have to come from creating more jobs, whether it be private sector or government funded job creation.

3. Hunger

The UN estimates that about 1in 9 people go hungry each day. While most of this is happening in underdeveloped countries there is still hunger in developed countries as well. The price of food is skyrocketing leaving the poor unable to eat.

One solution for this would be to share. It's as simple as kindergarten manners, if you don't need it share it. A lot of people have more than their share of food.

4. Separation of Classes

The poorer are becoming poorer and the richer are becoming richer. 95% of the worlds wealth is owned by 1% of people. The amount of power that leaves these people is dangerous to say the least. Between running the political front and owning the highest corporate power, the top 1% basically runs the world.

The solution for this is not a simple one. My very bare suggestion would be to tax the richest who do not contribute at least 30% of their wealth to bettering the lives of those they basically are in charge of.

5. Health

The need for cures for the most deadly diseases remain unfound. It seems we have the capacity through science to tackle some of the most dangerous diseases, but for some reason we have yet to find a cure.

I believe that more government funding needs to be allocated to cancer fighting organizations who are focused on a cure. It's also essential that we educate people on proper eating and detoxifying to protect ourselves from these diseases.

6. Terrorists

America seems to have taken a back seat with a bowl of popcorn to watch the terrorism in this world unfold before us. We are the strongest armed force in the world, yet attack after attack has occurred even on our own soil, and close to nothing has been done about it.

A solution to this would be for government, especially our executive branch, to get off their behinds and put these monsters in their place. I don't think it would take more than a swift kick in the butt to get these guys hiding in a cave like the last guy.

7. Child Abuse

To me this is huge. Innocent children who rely on us for protection are abused and killed by the people who brought them into this world. It's a touchy subject, but one that needs more attention.

I believe the right to have children should be stripped of any violent offender of children. 

8. Severe Weather

The Planet has experienced some changes that are causing extreme catastrophic disasters all around the world. 

A problem like this is something I don’t think I could be close to having a solution for. The best I can offer is that the world needs to treat the Earth with respect.

9. Rising World-Leaders Competitiveness 

Countries such as Japan and China or Russia and the Ukraine have been power housing each other now more than ever. It seems that the wealthiest countries have become more nationalistic and less willing to share their economic interests with other countries.

One solution for this would be for the UN to actually do what it was created to do and manage ahead of the storm.

10. Lack of Leadership 

To me this is the most true in America. Fifty years ago the President wasn't just a title for some puppet to have while the richest controlled his actions. Now it seems we have no one to depend on for taking this country in the right directions.

I believe a disassembly of the federal government is due. The need for their intervention is far less than the need for each citizen to be given their constitutional rights.
