World's Biggest Problem (Week 3)

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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Racism
Racism is cruel and should be outdated. It's been a thing for the past, but sadly it's still relevant in todays society. Everyone should be equal, and there should be no discussion about the fairness and equality that people deserve.
     -Spread awareness/educate students early on in schools to help break stereotypes and preconceived notions.

5. Guns
In the year 2015, there has been 355 mass shootings; almost one for every day of the year. Clearly, background checks are either not enough, or aren't thorough.
     -Change the age to 25 for all types of guns, and create a more meticulous and in-depth background check to those who feel qualified to own a gun.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. Drugs
The use and abuse of drugs can lead to many severe consequences. Consequences that include addiction which can lead to lethal withdrawals, and of course government interference that can be a detriment to your life.
     -Harsher punishments should be implemented to prevent further drug use. Also, there should be more focus on rehabilitation centers so that relapses would decrease.

9. Teaching System
The teaching systems across the world should create a new, and more innovated way to help engage students. We should want to learn, and not have the pressure to memorize for that "A".
     -Design new teaching skills and activities so that students can actually absorb and retain information that will better them for the future.

10. Hate Crimes/Bullying
Bullying and hate crimes have caused many people to suffer, and dread waking up in the mornings; some people have even committed suicide. For this to continuously go on right under our noses, is something we shouldn't be oblivious to and we all need to try to prevent any hateful actions against others for any reason.
     -Counseling to help those who struggle feel safer. This will also guide them through the correct and appropriate path. Directing them to make the right decisions will greatly benefit one's life.
