World's Biggest Problems-Dillon Dunn




1. The Growing concern to find a cure for cancer. With thousands of people dying every year cancer is one of the world’s biggest problems. If more people would focus resources on finding a solution we may be able to find a cure.
2. The ability to create enough clean water for everyone in the world is a difficult task. With the number of people in the world rising we need to be able to create more clean water at a quicker rate. If we the people used water more efficiently it may help with our clean water issue.
3. 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. If we were able to switch to a renewable resource we would be able to use resources without the fear of running out.
4. 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. Unfortunately there is not an easy solution to this issue.
5. 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. If countries were able to dedicate more land to growing crops we may be able to better feed the world.
6. 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. This issue should be brought to the attention of the general public. 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.
7. 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. There is no easy way to deal with these people we will just have to keep them contained for as long as possible.
8. Climate change is an issue that gets a lot of recognition but most people do not really change their ways to help prevent the issue from getting worse. If the Climate changes too much in the world it could cause a lot more problems in the world. By cutting down on our energy usage we can prevent the continued growth of climate change.
9. Global internet access to most people might seem like a good thing at first, but what a lot of people don’t know is that having global internet access would allow terrorists to be able to terrorize people from anywhere in the world. If the threat gets to threatening we could shut off the internet to certain countries.
10. AIDS is a disease that most people know about but do not take much action on brining awareness to until it is too late. About two million people die every year to AIDS. AIDS needs to be put in the spotlight again so people are more aware of this issue.

  1. I really liked your list, you thought of a few things that I didn't even consider such as the North Korea issue. It is a huge issue and I completely missed it. I agree with you on clean water and climate change. The meteor issue seemed a little out there at first for me but after a google search I am with you. Your ideas were more specific than mine which I think makes it easier to grasp the real issue at hand.

  3. I really liked the list that you made. You reminded me of some issues that I had forgotten were occurring. That showed me that at times we live in a bubble and only think about that things that are affecting us as "World Problems". I also made note in mine about climate change and clean water. I think that you would enjoy reading mine as well if you want to check it out at http://lgator.blogspot.com/2016/01/worlds-biggest-problems.html
