Top 5 World Problems (Week 4)

World's Biggest Problems:

1. World Hunger
The fact that many families with young children go to sleep hungry, should never be a dilemma. With the simplest fix of every person in the world donating a few cans/dollars, many people across the globe wouldn't be malnourished, and famished. It's sad to think that this could be a leading cause of death.
     -Spread awareness to help raise money/food drives creating a more unifying world.
>This is my top problem because just like air and water, food is a necessity to life. Not one person or family should suffer from hunger.

2. Global Warming
Global warming has affected many species and habitats. It has caused more floods/droughts, ice melting world wide (horrible for polar bears), water temperatures to change creating the rate of organisms dying to increase, and dramatic changes in weather patterns.
     -Spreading awareness is crucial and should be informed by the public at all ages. Information on how to keep the world a more sustainable one should be circulated through all types of media.
>This is my second top world problem because this is the planet we live on. If we aren't sustaining it, it won't provide our future generations with the necessities they need to function.

3. Poverty
Almost half the world lives on less than three dollars per day. I think with government incentives, and a more generous society, poverty will decrease significantly. People who are suffering just need a little push to help start somewhere.
     -The government should create more programs to help homeless civilians find jobs to start off their life again.
>This is my third problem because everyone should be provided with shelter. It's horrible to think that besides the lack of food/water, that someone doesn't have a bed to rest on. It's unsafe and dangerous.

4. Terrorism
Terrorism is used to intimidate through violence in the pursuit of social or political objectives. This inexcusable act can cause a chain reaction that influences to harm/kill innocent people so that they can make their side known through instilling fear.
     -Stop supporting dictators who fund terrorism, also implement more security/surveillance systems/ improved technology in public areas to help prevent future violence acts.
>My fourth dilemma is terrorism because this is becoming more and more widespread throughout places you'd never think would occur. We need to stop this "trend" because innocent people are becoming brainwashed, and worse, killed.

5. Politics
Of course, many people understand that politics is usually fabricated and dishonest. Politics can propagate through misleading advertising to brainwash the easily influenced.
     -Have an outside/reliable source that isn't propagandized by politics to help monitor and abolish any misleading, deceiving advertising.
>This is my last world problem even though I do find it to be really important to monitor the fabricated truth in advertising because it can brainwash and propagate our entire society. But, it is  just politics, it's not a life or death worry.

Solutions:

1. (Global Warming) Spreading awareness is crucial and should be informed by the public at all ages. Information on how to keep the world a more sustainable one should be circulated through all types of media.
-I think this is the most realistic solution because many families can participate in the connivence of their home. It's also simple to buy recyclable items/recyclable trash cans and even easier to actually recycle.

2. (World Hunger) Spread awareness to help raise money/food drives creating a more unifying world.
-Spreading awareness isn't too hard with how social media has become such a fad nowadays. With everyone just donating a dollar, this could help impoverished societies all over the world.

3. (Poverty) The government should create more programs to help homeless civilians find jobs to start off their life again.
-If people help fund by donating just a little, it can help put people in homes and help start their life. Also, volunteers can help give them transportation to job interviews, cook in the kitchen, or give their time to help spread awareness.

4. (Terrorism) Stop supporting dictators who fund terrorism, also implement more security/surveillance systems/improved technology in public areas to help prevent future violence acts.
-It's harder said than done because people have their mindset on what they want in this world. To try to convince them to stop supporting dictators who fund terrorism is a difficult task. It's also hard to ask for better security systems and more technology to be implemented because that's more money that the government most likely does not have.

5. (Politics) Stop supporting dictators who fund terrorism, also implement more security/surveillance systems/ improved technology in public areas to help prevent future violence acts.
-I believe this is the hardest to implement for the sole reason that it could be nearly impossible to find an outside source. A source that isn't biased or hasn't been influenced by the media.
