1. Terrorism Growth throughout the world
Terrorism is a major threat throughout the world, not just ISIS. There are threats on every country from multiple terrorist groups. While world peace is not a practical solution, I feel that if every country were to have individuals sit down and discuss ways in order to get the process towards world peace beginning.
2. Famine in African Societies
African societies do not have the proper amount of food for the number of citizens they have. With more and more children being born daily, the amount of food needed continues to increase. Not only the amount of food but the food must be beneficial. If companies were able to donate food to Africa in order for the food to benefit the individuals that need to food the most it would be helpful and cause it to be a lower problem.
3. Unemployment rate in America
Unemployment rates have gone down in America recently but they are still not at 0. Employment is a crucial part of American society and being able to thrive and have a good lifestyle. If more companies would create factories in America rather than oversees more Americans would have jobs for products that are being sold in America.
4. Low minimum wage in America
Minimum wage around America being around eight dollars an hour is ridiculous. In a society where prices for everyday items continues to rise, minimum wage should also rise. I know some of the presidential candidate have made statements about raising minimum wage to 15 dollars an hour, however I feel it is more realistic to slowly raise it that the national minimum wage must be at least 10 dollars an hour and then raise it from there yearly or biyearly.
5. High rate of homeless individuals in America
Homelessness is a huge problem throughout America. There are not enough homeless shelters to maintain the amount of people that are unable to afford living areas of there own. America needs to create more shelters for individuals to sleep in at night, especially during the winter months. Also, I believe that there needs to be a system in order to educate and help homeless individuals get jobs in order to hopefully get an income and be able to afford a place to live.
6. Nuclear Iran
The Nuclear Iran deal is a huge problem for the world. Allowing Iran to get nuclear power will make them the biggest threat to any country. Making sure that Iran does not have the ability to create nuclear weapons and test them fully will ensure that Iran does not become a threat to everyone.
7. Israel (all problems with boarders and multiple enemies)
Israel has always been in the middle of many problems in the Middle East. Being surrounded by Iraq, Iran and Syria makes it very difficult for Israel to prospure due to their surroundings constantly attacking them. Many people feel that it is unsafe to live or visit Israel. I feel that a practical solution would be for nations that support Israel to continue helping Israel's military. I also believe that other countries should help implement borders between Israel and their surrounding countries to make it more difficult for enemies of Israel to come into their border.
8. ISIS
The threat of ISIS continues to grow as they target people from multiple countries. ISIS is trying to make a clear statement that they are not only targetting certain people. I feel that a practical solution would be to continue fighting against ISIS but to get every country involved. It seems that the US is the only major country fighting against ISIS and trying to destroy them when I feel all countries should be involved.
9. Global Warming
Global warming continues to become a problem where the ozone layer continues to deteriorate. A practical solution would be to implement products that tear apart the ozone layer to be banned or have a specific amount of usage per person. Also the companies that create these products should begin implementing tactics to create more environmentally friendly products.
10. Lack of drinking water in 3rd world countries
The amount of drinking water in 3rd world countries continues to diminish. With water being filled with chemicals and diseases, it increases the amount of unhealthy individuals in these countries. The UN or countries alone should begin donating water filters and clean water supplies to the third world countries to use to have drinking water that will not make them ill.
Your list was extremely similar to mine. I agree with terrorism. most importantly about how it's not just ISIS. Acts of terrorism are committed daily. Many do not get media attention, which is quite a shame. There are far more threats than just ISIS. You also touch up on lack of drinking water and global warming. Both of these, I also included in my list of problems in the world.
ReplyDeleteHi Leigha!
ReplyDeleteYour list does share some characteristics similar to mine, such as the prominence to terrorist war activities and the problems they pose, and also the increasing famine all over the world, including Africa. It's interesting to see what others believe as problems as well and it's good to know others care about climate change and homelessness as well. I really enjoyed your read and hope you'll take some time to check out mine: http://loganbrownuf.blogspot.com/2016/01/my-interpretation-of-worlds-biggest.html
