Top 5 World Problems

LIST 1 (Most Serious to Least Serious)

1. Pollution
- I chose pollution as my most serious world problem because pollution is destroying our planet and we are doing it to ourselves. Where are we to live if our planet dies from gases and other things that we're putting out into our sources of water and air.

2. World Terrorism
- World terrorism causes fear in the minds of people all over and it pins one group of people against another. That's why I believe world terrorism is next on this list. Also people all over have lost their lives to terrorism.

3. Racism
- Racism causes a lot of tension in societies. Even though it's much better today you can definitely still see it around. To show animosity to a certain type of people will destroy a society as they eventually fight against each other.

4. Declining oil rates
- Declining oil rates can cause a lot of tension between countries as oil is a main source of power and if it is declining many countries will try to be more conservative and less willing to possibly give it to other countries that are in need. That can cause a lot of tension between countries

5. World Hunger
- World Hunger is a big problem as 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.
This is a very important issue in the world! 

List 2 (Most Possible to Least Possible)

1. One way to fight pollution is to have create ways to have cleaner travel, like electric cars, and production.
- I thought that fighting pollution was the most possible to implement because it's all about individuals realizing where to throw away your trash and most countries today have the technology to fight pollution by having more cars that produce less emission or have alternatives like more public transportation.

2. I believe the solution to Racism is in our education system. We need to teach about how to love or even respect other cultures. This is easy because all people have to do, and by people I mean teachers, parents, and peers, is to teach about loving one another. 

3.  I believe the best way to fight terrorism is to band together and show that we will not be broken by terrorism. To work together to fight against terrorist groups. The only reason why this isn't higher on the list is because people don't know where to start when fighting against terrorism. Plus you do not have to be in the military to fight against it as well.

4. To fight against the declining oil rates we have to find an alternative. I find this difficult to implement because even though it probably is easy to find an alternative but many times it is really expensive to spread the alternative worldwide.

5. I believe a reduction in the demand for meat produced by factory farming would free up food that could then be sent abroad. By transitioning to a practice of farming that grows seasonal foods the health of the land can also be preserved.

  1. Hi Hung! I liked that your top 5 problems considered both humanitarian concerns and environmental concerns! I think that racism is definitely a huge problem we are facing in the world, and it is just as important to fix as other environmental concerns. We seemed to have similar ideas when it comes to listing the top 5 problems, I have a few different problems listed though!

  2. Hi Hung,
    I really liked the top 5 problems and solutions you chose. All 5 of the problems are huge problems we really need to deal with as soon as possible. I didn't include declining oil rates or pollution but I totally agree that both of those need to be solved. I think pollution is definitely the easiest to fix, simply throwing away garbage where it belongs can be a tremendous help (rather than those jerks on the interstate who throw their Mickey D's out of their window). I actually had 2 top world problems in common with yours.
