World's Biggest Problems

World’s Biggest Problems

Week 3

1. Wars in the name of religion. How can so many different religions be the one almighty true religion?
*We need to come together and discuss what it is that makes all the other religions wrong and how is it possible for there to be so many GODS.
2. Famine in any part of this world we live in. With the amount of food that goes to waste each day, how can people be staring?
*Somehow the governments need to get together for their people and the people of the world and find a way to harvest the land that they have, and also supply adequate water to those areas.
3. Climate change and what it is doing to our planet. How can anyone not notice that the earth is changing and it is due to our emissions?
*The International Climate Change Agreement needs to be mandatory instead of voluntary. Countries that deem it too expensive to do anything about their emissions is not going to do anything.
4. Terrorism and the effect it is having on the world. No one like being scared to walk around in their own city with a possible terrorist act being committed at any time.
*We need to end this once and for all time. It is not a matter of politics anymore it is a matter of keeping humans safe and secure.
5. The population is starting to spiral out of control. Especially now that China has lifted their “One baby per Family” decree.
*People need to be more responsible for their actions and the repercussions of those actions. If you can’t afford an additional mouth to feed, use some protection to make sure it doesn’t happen.
6. Disease being spread throughout the world. How can a disease that is deadly enough to kill a person spread throughout the world with such ease?
*Proper screening needs to be set up at airports and train stations to monitor a person for diseases. Also, people should hold themselves more accountable if they know that they are sick.
7. Border control being such a huge issue. I know this is a touchy subject, but I believe in border control and immigrate having to be properly documented and have legitimate jobs as well as paying taxes.
*Do something about it. Stop all the talk and let’s see a little action. I personally do not know the solution, but we need to just start somewhere and see where it goes.
8. Nuclear weapons need to be nonexistent. How is a nuclear weapon ever going to be used? The first one to go up will send all the others up and the world will no longer exist.
*Just get rid of them all. There is no place in this world for weapons of such mass destruction.
9. Oil production is out of control. There is so much oil in the United states that not one individual corporation can make any money. The far east knows this, that is why they have upped their production to keep the prices down and make it too expensive to produce oil in the U.S.
*The U.S. needs to start buying more of our own oil and less of the oil from the far east.
10. We need to bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S., so our own economics can increase.
*We need to stop buying a large portion of the products we use here from other countries. The government needs to increase incentives for companies to open more manufacturing facilities her in the U. S.
