World's Biggest Problems

1. Hunger is one of the worlds biggest problems. Third world countries are underdeveloped and lack a lot of the things that developed countries have. A lot of the time, food is that resource. A way to change that is to make sure that these countries have the resources they need, like knowing what crops will grow in their environment that are full of nutrients.

2. Global warming is an issue that we seem to be facing for awhile. This year especially, the beginning of winter was warmer than it has been in many years. 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.

3. Animal extinction has been a problem for hundreds of years. Many species are on the endangered species list or are very close to being endangered. We can fix this by creating laws against hunting specific breeds, or creating environments like zoos to make sure that there are places that will keep the species alive.

4. Increase in the population is also a huge problem. People in underdeveloped countries have more children because of the lack of birth control, or because of prostitution and rapes. A way to fix this is to make sure that everyone has proper sex education and readily available contraception.

5. Poverty is also a huge problem, not only in underdeveloped countries, but also in developed countries like the US. Lack of jobs, and large families make it difficult for families to make money and not spend all of it on food and clothing for their families. This can be fixed by creating jobs in poor areas of developed countries, and outsourcing labor to underdeveloped countries to create jobs.

6. Terrorism is something that almost every country is burdened with. Attacks like 9/11 and the ones on Paris are problems that have not gone away. A way to change this is to make sure countries have trained military and weapons to be able to protect themselves and their citizens.

7. Sexually transmitted diseases is something that a lot of underdeveloped countries are dealing with. There is a lack of sec education and contraceptives. Prostitution is also something women will do to make money, but it comes at the cost of getting sexually transmitted diseases. A way to change this is to make sure that these countries have ways for people to be tested for free and provide them with contraception and sex education.

8. Pollution is also a problem we face around the world. One of the biggest controversies in the US was the plastic beads found in face and body washes that wash into our rivers and oceans. Chemical dumping is also a issue we face since factories dump chemicals into rivers. This can be changed by stricter regulations and rules against the production of products that pollute the environment.

9. Deforestation is a major issue as the population expands. The more housing and urban areas we need, the more destruction of forests happens, which takes away housing for animals and hurts the environment. We can fix this by putting bans on cutting down trees in certain areas and making certain areas national forests or conservation areas.

10. Lack of clean water is an issue in many underdeveloped countries. Even countries like the US have problems like this with chemicals or minerals in our drinking water. Countries in Africa and the Middle East would suffer the most because of the desert like environment that makes water scarce to begin with. The best way to fix this is to help provide portable technology that will clean water to make it drinkable or create stricter regulations on levels for tap water in developed countries.
