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.
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.

ReplyDeleteI 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
