World's biggest problems and solutions

1. Animal species extinction

• More and more animals are either becoming extinct or are being put on the endangered species list.  A lot of the animals that are in danger of becoming extinct are ones that are being overhunted or have been overhunted in the past. I think that making it illegal to hunt certain animals that are near extinction is a good place to start. Also hunting for trophy kills should not be allowed. Major companies who sell meat in places like grocery store should be the only ones allowed to kill animals for meat.

2. Pollution

• With our population growing more and more every year, the amount of pollution in the world is also growing. Some minor ways to fix this problem would be if every one took the time to recycle and not be as wasteful. If people tried to find a way to reuse some of the things that they throw out there would be less pollution accumulating in landfills

3. War

• War is probably one of the biggest problems that the world faces. The world cannot come to an agreement together about how to handle many of the situations it has faced. We as a society feel that when we have a disagreement with another country we have to start a war over it. If all of the countries decided that they were not going to stick their noses in each others problems they would all probably fight less.  The countries either need to sit down and agree and compromise or they need to back off and leave each other alone.

4. Government

• Each country has their way of handling their governmental system but none of them have really found a way that works.  The United States government for example has a lot wrong with it, one of which being that they have political parties.  A lot of times the government is associated with corruption.  I feel that one way to solve this is if everyone voted for who they want to run the country and the voted was tallied equally. Also government workers such as the president and Congress people should not get paid for the rest of their life just for working for the government.  Some other countries are not doing much better though either.

5. Drug cartels

• There are so many drug cartels around the world that you hear talked about on the new all of the time but nothing seems to be done to stop it from happening. Instead we have drug lords like "El Chapo" who made his millions selling drugs then got caught and arrested and then managed to escape.  In that instance they did catch him again but he also got out of prison as well. He is not the only one though there are so many, even some that we never hear about. The world needs to be more active in working together to solve this drug cartel problem.

6. World Population

• The population continues to get bigger and bigger every year but our world has not gotten any larger.  A big problem with that is that many countries are already over populated and others suffer from extreme poverty. Contributing to this problem are the pro life advocates who are against birth control and abortion. There are many ways to educate people on these issues because many times children are born into an environment not equipped to raise them or whom does not want them.

7. Diminished fossil fuels

•  Over the past few years there has been a great diminish in the fossil fuels on earth. This is a problem because we rely on them to power our homes, our businesses, our vehicles and much more. While there has been advances in more earth friendly ways to power the things we use every day, they have not yet become financially friendly to everyone.

8. Racism and discrimination

• This happens all over the world to a variety of people. Whether you are Caucasian, African American, Asian, etc. there is someone around discriminating against you. The color of your skin does not define the kind of person that you are.  I believe that if we all started to see people like dogs see people, in that they are all equal and actions define their character, people would be happier.

9. Increased reliance on technology

• Our entire lives now rely on technology, children in elementary school are now walking around with cellphone. Schools now require the majority of school work to be done online, even textbooks are online. Anymore when technology stops working we do not know what to do. The world needs to rely less on technology for certain things because I always works right up until it doesn't.

10. Refugee immigration

• Immigration happens all over the world, many immigrants go to the US but there is also immigration in Germany and France. For many countries this is a problem because many of them do not have the resources to support an inflow of people. It also give terrorists a way to enter the country by posing as refugees. A way to prevent the inflow of terrorists would be more security and background checks on the people. If the refugees were split up equally among the more financially stable countries it would make it easier to financially support them.
