World's Biggest Problems

World's Biggest Problems

World Economy: The world’s economy today is hurting. Most of Europe is bankrupt, China’s growth is starting to slow, the Middle East is being beaten down by suppressed oil prices and political instability, and the US is still struggling with slow growth and low interest rates.

Solution: Stop all the quantitative easing, let interest rates rise back to a healthy normal levels, create jobs by taking away regulations and high taxes on the private sector, and cut down on government spending.

International terrorism: The increasing threat of terrorism. Everyday, there seems to be a new terrorist attack somewhere in the world.

Solution: 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.  

College Tuition: College tuition is a current problem and I believe it will continue growing into a bigger problem. Tuition today is getting more and more expensive and families are going into debt over tuition payments.

Solution: Stop tuition inflation. Limit the amount of student loans someone can pull out which will in result, decrease school income which will force them to lower costs.

Obesity: I believe that this is a major issue today. Obesity is at an all time high and I believe that it is a relatively solvable problem.

Solution: Teach consumers about what they are eating and what a healthy diet looks like. Encourage more exercise in school and life.

Lack of Clean Water: is a significant issue that the world faces today. Millions of people do not have access to clean water and therefore end up getting extremely sick from dirty contaminated water.

Solution: Help build infrastructure that supports clean sanitation. Finance sanitation projects in third-world countries.

Human Trafficking: Trafficking is a major problem today that isn’t talked about much. It is extremely sad and happens all around the world. These girls that experience it are extremely abused.

Solution: A solution could be to fund a lot more organizations to fight this problem. Also, use more investigative focus on trafficking.

Overpopulation: The world’s population is increasing every day and many parts of the world really do not have the resources to accommodate. Overpopulation leads to poverty, a decrease in natural resources, and a lack of food.

Solution: 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.

Consumerism: Consumerism is a big problem today that leads to selfish behaviors and greedy kids. The media and holidays such as ‘Black Friday’, leads to unnecessary buying and high credit card bills that people can’t afford.

Solution: Don’t offer credit as easy to individuals. Higher sales tax.

Child Labor: Many companies around the world employ impoverished children so that costs are cheaper. Many of these kids are physically and mentally abused by this work.

Solution: Encourage more local manufacturing and business by removing business regulations and provide benefits to companies that hire local well-paid workers.

Fast Food and School Food: Fast food and the food that most public schools provide are extremely unhealthy and also quite dangerous. This leads to obesity and lazy individuals. This also does not help kids learn what good food looks like and what bad food looks like.

Solution: 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.
