World's Biggest Problems

1.Huger: People around the world have nothing to eat, kids in Haiti literally eat "dirt cookies" as a meal. There is a difference between someone bringing hunger upon themselves and the millins of people that have no choice.

 A practical approach to solving this would be more publicity on the situation. If the media would greater acknowledge the fact that there are millions of people who are starving to death, then I am sure donation rates to charities would skyrocket.

2. Poverty: Similar to hunger, millions of people in the world have nothing. To many, living off of a dollar a day is a luxury. Americans have no concept of this, as even the poorest on the country are often much better off when compared to some people in the world.

 A practical approach would be to "advertise poverty" to hike up donation rates and influence public opinion in wealthier nations to think more of the poor.

3. Wealth inequality: Although I myself lean right on the political spectrum of the USA, I can still acknowledge that on a global scale, major wealth inequality is an issue. The top 400 richest people in the world own more than half of the global population. 400 people versus 3.5 billion. That in itself is an issue.

A practical solution would be to attack the issue on a smaller scale in various areas around the world. Have some motivating factor for people to go out and try new things, and work hard to become successful. For countries that have terrible wealth inequality, often times a corrupt government is a large factor. Vote in a non corrupt government (obviously easier said than done).

4. War: One nation versus another, more times than not politicians create war for personal gains, very rarely is a war perceived as being "just" (WWII vs Iraq).

A practical solution would be to continue to foster the growth of NATO, the United Nations, and any other organizations that promote peace.

5. Terrorism: Brought to light by the attacks of 9/11 and more recently the rise of ISIS, terrorism is an issue that needs to be addressed immediately and needs to be stopped.

A solution to fighting terrorism is very controversial, but something needs to be done. This is a situation in which people would view a war against terrorism (ex. ISIS) would be justifiable. Continue bombing the hell out of them and if need be try other methods discussed by different nations around the world.

6.corrupt governments: Various governments around the world are extremely corrupt, whether they are open about it or not. It's a problem, people have no say in a corrupt government.

A solution would be to foster some sort of democratic solution in regards to fixing the political system. Have government officials that are true to the needs of the country and the people remove corrupt officials out.

7. climate change: More and more relevant as time goes on, man made climate change has become an issue that is increasingly difficult for doubters to deny. The climate of the planet is all out of wack due to human resource use.

A practical solution is to vote into measures laws that restrict acts that lead to climate change, fund the research to more energy efficient technology, and even use more renewable resources.

8. homeless: Everyone knows that homeless people are everywhere. In fact, there are more vacant homes in american than their are homeless people. Personally, I have the opinion of if someone cause themselves to lose everything, then I have no respect for them. However for the homeless people that seemed to run into a string of bad luck, they should be provided with some sort of way back into a normal life.

A solution of homeless people would be to continue to build homeless shelters to provide the homeless with food, water, and shelter. Some kind of rehab program for people who are willing to work to get back on their feet would work as well.

9. disease spreading: recently brought to light with the Ebola outbreak not too long ago, disease needs to be fought so that outbreaks no longer occur. Places in Africa could use supplies to prevent the spread of disease and the death of people.

A solution would be to continue doing what we have been doing for years. Provide supplies to lead to better hygiene in places that have a high risk for disease, and promote the use of vaccines.

10. food supply (hand in hand with rising population): As the population continues to boom at an alarming rate, sooner or later there is going to be a huge problem in terms of the food supply for the global population.

A solution at some point in time i'm sure would be for governments to try and restrict population growth (as China did for decades), limit the amount of children a family can have.
