Top 5 Problem Solutions ranking (best to least implementable)

1. Poverty - This can be fixed by creating jobs in poor areas of developed countries, and outsourcing labor to underdeveloped countries to create jobs.
2. Pollution - This can be changed by stricter regulations and rules against the production of products that pollute the environment.
3. Increase in population - A way to fix this is to make sure that everyone has proper sex education and readily available contraception.
4. Global warming - To change this, we need to work together to limit the pollution in major metropolitan areas and factories that pollute the air and deplete the ozone.
5. Terrorism - A way to change this is to make sure countries have trained military and weapons to be able to protect themselves and their citizens.

Justification

Increase in population, or overpopulation, is the biggest problem because the Earth only has a limited amount of land and the exponential growth of our population will not be able to stay on the land for much longer. Global warming is next because the Earth has growing exponentially warming over the years and is seen as the biggest problem by a lot of the population. Next, I put terrorism because it has always been a problem, whether that be genocide, religious persecution, or just general dislike of a country to where they take violent actions. This problem has become more apparent in the past few years. I next put poverty because it is a problem not only in third world countries, but also in developed countries. Pollution is last because the even though it is a huge problem, the more developed countries seem to be more aware of the problem and doing their best to regulate it.

With the solutions, poverty would be the easiest to fix because of the mass companies that could easily outsource work to the underdeveloped countries. Pollution is next because with strict regulations and government intervention, we can limit the amount of pollution from factories. Overpopulation is next because teaching sex education is not an expensive venture and also offering free contraception like birth control or condoms. Global warming is next because air pollution can be decreased by strict government regulation on factories, but the emissions from cars is harder to regulate and decrease. Terrorism ranked last because it is much harder to implement without causing more issues with the countries because of military invasion.
