Top 5 World Problems
The Problem(s):
1.
World
Economy.
This should be one
of the top priorities for the countries around the world, as the economy plays
a huge role in every problem that faces the world.
2.
International
Terrorism.
This is obviously
another huge issue that the world has got to face. Innocent people are being
killed because of individuals who don’t value human life. This will continue to
destroy countries and will continue to add to the refuge crisis.
3.
Consumerism.
I think that
consumerism is another significant problem. The over-spending and
over-consumption that many people face today, leads to a multitude of issues:
obesity, disease, etc.
4.
Human
Trafficking.
Human trafficking
is a horrible disgusting epidemic that the world should focus more on. This is
somewhat of a shadowed world as the spotlight remains off of it.
5.
Overpopulation.
Overpopulation is an
issue simply because of what it can eventually lead to. Overpopulation in any
country in all of history proves to lead to problems.
The Solutions:
1. Stop
all the quantitative easing, let interest rates rise back to healthy historical
levels, create jobs by taking away regulations and high taxes on the private
sector, and cut down on government spending.
2.
Join up with other nations/countries
to fight the terrorist organizations. Also, attempt to train the Middle Eastern
soldiers and provide resources so that the fight can remain centralized, as
well as keeps American soldiers out of harms way. This also will help to ensure
that terrorist groups can’t quickly rise back up again.
3. Provide more healthy options at both fast food
restaurant’s and in school cafeterias. Make fast food and unhealthy food way
more expensive than healthy food.
4. More contraceptive use. Teaching kids more about
smart parenting as they grow up. Not encouraging government handouts and social
security payments for having more children.
5. Help build infrastructure that supports clean
sanitation. Finance sanitation projects in third-world countries.
Sawyer, it was interesting reading what you think are the top five world problems in our day and age. The solution you have to fixing the world economy is simple, yet politicians for some reason still have not implemented lowering the taxes on the private sector. Giving private firms tax breaks would create jobs and help us come out of being in more government spending debt. If you would like to check out my list of the top 5 world problems it is below:

Sawyer,
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Some of our top five problems were the same. The overpopulation of our world is a huge issue! It was great you highlighted such an important and pertinent issue. The solution you had to human trafficking was interesting. It might be hard to implement in a country like the US. I admire the optimism though.
