Top 5 World Problems-Dillon Dunn

Top 5 Problems
 1. ISIS is one of the world’s most recognizable terrorist groups. They are a group of people who kill innocent people in the name of religion. If ISIS gets to powerful they could change the world as we know it.
ISIS is at the top of a lot of peoples mind right now. ISIS is an immediate threat to almost all countries int the world right now. They are dangerous and are hard to catch. That is why they are number one on my list.

2. Risk of meteor impact on planet surface is a world issue no one really thinks about until it is too late. If a meteor hit the Earth’s surface it could wipe out the whole human race.
Most people don't know but there is money being put into research to look for something that could save the planet from getting hit by a meteor. This deserves to be #2 because if a meteor actually did impact the planet it could potentially end life on the planet.

3. The hostile environment in North Korea is one of the world’s biggest and most terrifying problems. With North Korea developing the technology to be able to nuke other countries it causes other countries to put North Korea as one of their top priorities instead of focusing their effort on developing solutions for other world problems.
 With North Korea being hostile to the outside world and developing nuclear weapons they are a threat to man kind. North Korea could do a large amount of damage if they are able to get their hands on a nuclear weapon.

4. World hunger is a huge issue in the world. People in America don’t think of hunger as a problem but countries in Africa and South America suffer through this problem every day. If the correct action is not taken the hunger issue could spread into the first world countries as well.
This is a very important issue in the world! The only reason that it isn't higher on the list is because it does not effect the whole world.

5. The lack of energy resources is not only a problem that could cause the prices for energy to go up, it could also put a halt on developing new technology.
 Although this is an important issue in the world, people could survive without electricity. The four problems above are problems that could potentially kill people.


Top 5 Solutions

 1. (referring to a meteor hitting Earth) If so we may be able to funnel more resources into research that may be able to develop new technology that would keep the world safe.
This is a great solution because with just a small boost in funding I believe that we would be able to develop good enough technology to be able to not have to fear a meteor hitting Earth!

2. If the threat gets to threatening we could shut off the internet to certain countries.
Shutting off the internet to outside hostel countries would prevent them from being able to steal our information via hackers.

3. By cutting down on our energy usage we can prevent the continued growth of climate change.
This is a quality solution because it is easy for everyone to get involved in so that everyone can contribute to the cause.

4. If we were able to switch to a renewable resource we would be able to use resources without the fear of running out.
Switching to a renewable resource is a great idea because it would allow us to not fear running out of resources, and it would also be beneficial to the environment.

5. If we the people used water more efficiently it may help with our clean water issue.
This (just like #3) would be good because everyone could help with the solution. The only reason that it is at the bottom of the list is because it is not as urgent of an issue as the rest.
