World's Biggest Problems

1. World Hunger. This is a problem all over the world. 795 million people, according to the WFP, do not have food to lead to a healthy life. My solution would be to have all restaurants around the world have a huge bin outside their establishment and throw all food and leftovers in the bin. This could be a temporary solution.

2. Shortage of drinkable water. This is an even bigger problem, because humans can survive without food longer than they can survive without water. And water is used to cooking and cleaning. A solution: this may be irritable to people, but people take unnecessarily long showers and I think there should be installed in every shower, a timer that will go off after a decent amount of showering. This would conserve and keep water available. Must take drastic measures to preserve the planet.

3. Endangered species. The problem behind animals going extinct is their habitats are being used to build condominiums and huge communities. There is no permanent place for animals to build a family. A solution I would believe help animals keep their habitat in one place is to dedicate 2 or 3 quadrants in a state for places for animals to live.

4. Terrorism. This is a huge problem that people are not taking to heart. Our country suffers from people hating America and citizens that are not well informed of what is going on in the world. A solution I would purpose, which has probably been initiated before, is to have the United Nations have everyone meet in a VERY secure place and come to a compromise. This is very unlikely, because the UN is not suppose to enforce decisions and actions, but support.

5. Overpopulation. New babies means baby bottles and toys, which means plastic, which also means having the the tools to make the bottles and toys which finally means RESOURCES. Resources are currently being depleted and with the rising babies constantly being born and made, there will be in the future a shortage of resources, including water of course. A solution to this (which is very radical) would be to limit the amount of babies per family, or make contraceptives more accessible.

6. Lack of affordable education. Most of the students I went to high school with could not attend certain schools they got accepted to due to financial problems. Should school be that much money that a family can not send their child to a school they deserve to earn their degree? A solution would be to not include certain dues in tuition fees. Extracurricular activities should not be included in tuition, which not all students take a part in. And should e-books be worth $80 for a 10 digit code for a year? Our education should be priceless, not with a price tag.

7. Polarization of political parties. In the United States, the controversy of publicly letting people what party you are affiliated with can make or break friendship. It is the political world we live in today in America. There should not be such two extreme parties that are unable to agree on decisions. We all live in the same country, so we must have to come to an agreement. A solution could be: eliminate all political parties. Have the individual vote for their preferred candidate. Simple.

8. Women Oppression. We live in a society where men are viewed as masculine and women are categorized as feminine. This comes to a topic of women being oppressed. Solution: To eliminate the glass ceiling in the work place for women. Most companies hire more women because men supposedly get paid more, while women get paid less.  This minimum wage should not be targeted only at men, but should be the equal price, regardless of gender.

9. Human Trafficking. Around the world and even in movies, people (mostly women) are taking and put into the industry of human trafficking. This is a horrible situation to happen to anyone and no one should have to go through it. A solution to stop human trafficking is: to educate women in highly populated areas where trafficking occurs. The more education and awareness, the less people would risk the troubles of trafficking and more women will know what to do.

10. Global Warming. There is no doubt that global warming exists. If we do not keep or start to preserve this Earth, there will be no place for future kids to call a place home. To reduce global warming, there should be Earth Day more often, or turning off lights in certain sections of each state. This would reduce Earth's carbon footprint.
