1. Global Warming: The climate change has drastically affected our world with an increase in higher temperatures. These changes mostly affect northern areas, in which rely on the low temperatures and are now suffering due to the global climate change. A practical implementable solution could be to eliminate some of the warm toxins and gases in the air, in which are affecting the climate.
2. Poverty, hunger, and lack of clean drinking water: There has been an increasing lack of food and water supply in different areas of the world. Places in the southern hemisphere, like Africa, are dying from lack of clean water and dehydration. These third world countries are also suffering of hunger and lack of shelter. To help and create a solution for this, an increased amount of water supply, food supply, and shelter facilities need to be implemented in third world countries, in which are suffering most from the three.
3. The economy: With the economy at a decent point right now, it is always struggling at some points in time with either a recession or depression. Thankfully the economy isn’t at its worst right now, but there has been an increase in lack of jobs, lower wages, lay offs, and cut backs. A practical solution would be to create more jobs in the world and stop having mechanical machines doing our jobs for us.
4. Terrorism: One of the scariest problems around the world is the people who think they’re better than others and kill off of that thought. Terrorism is not only a leading problem is Middle Eastern countries, but now cities in America too have terrorist killing Americans just because. Ensuring that every terrorist is either put away or banned from America can only solve the problem. The worldwide solution would be to execute every terrorist group. Religion doesn’t help this cause either.
5. Pollution: Pollution causes illness, global warming, and death amongst the species of our nation. It is turning this world into a death/danger zone. With the increase of pollution, animals are dying and the air we breathe is becoming more dirty and unsafe to live in. We cannot keep living this way, so the only solution is to eliminate all waste put into the atmosphere/environment and to make that/recycling a law to abide all around the world.
6. Excessive growth of populations: Overcrowded populations like China are suffering from lack of resources/jobs because there are too many people. With this, the poverty levels are up the roof and people are living in unhealthy conditions because there are too many people to control in one country. To help solve this problem, countries need control on people of the country to ensure that the families producing more than two children are able to afford their living costs.
7. Spread of infectious disease: In third world countries this is the most common form of death. With diseases spreading very fast in countries that don’t have the right resources to help them, are dropping like flies. The best solution for this would to keep helping/help even more than the more fortunate does, and bring those countries more resources so they can live.
8. Armed wars: This being the most dangerous one, it is also the one in which can be solved with big help. Countries are at war with each other for reasons not even know because they are so ridiculous. This problem is killing the lives of thousands and can be solved by treaties and putting things like religion behind, to work together into making this world thrive. If soldiers and other armed officials put down their weapons, no countries would be at war anymore.
9. Nuclear weapons: The biggest and most threatening form of death is nuclear weapons. This is the greatest radioactive problem amongst our nations because it can wipe an area out almost instantly. These nuclear weapons need to be banned and extinct from this world in order for the problem to be solved. Just like gun control except nuclear weapon control as soon as possible.
10. Species extinction: With an increase in population and lack of money, people are killing animals more than ever and selling them off the market for food, resources, jewelry, clothing, etc. Species are coming to an end because we are treating them as if they are lesser than us and killing them. This problem has a huge solution and that is to have animal control nationwide amongst the killings in our oceans, forests, and rivers.



Hi Alexa, Awesome post! I enjoyed reading this because you mentioned a couple of issues that neither I nor other students that I have read have. I like that you mentioned the spread of infectious diseases, nuclear weapons, and the extinction of species. I had not thought of those as pressing issues of the world but they really are. We have to take care of the animals too! Aside from those, I had a very similar list to yours in that I included terrorism, climate change, increasing population, and poverty. Check out my post to read about other world problems! (link below)
