Worlds Biggest Problems: Week 3

Population: The world population is growing exponentially. With space to provide for these growing numbers dwindling. The increasing population on earth cant provide enough resources to adequately sustain the growing number of around 7 billion. this creates even greater stresses on other problems such as poverty, animal habitat preservation. and can result in actions being taken such as China's one child policy. This is a radical form of fixing the problem. the only other way to help the population growth is to have fewer children. which would also mean helping the countries in poverty move to a more developed way of living so they don't need so many offspring to help sustain and survive.

Water:  Clean drinking water is also one of the biggest problems we face as humans. Because so much of our clean water is used recreationaly , for agriculture and for manufacturing. we are running out of what we can use for our needed consumption. one way that we can possibly assist this problem is by using desalinization methods to purify the water in the ocean. as well as doing periodic watering such as only at night or on certain days for landscapes and agriculture.

Poverty: more then half of the worlds countries are in a state of poverty. and even in the meccas such as new york, china, ect you still see citizens with homes, and unemployed. the poverty levels also seem to be increasing because of the lack of resource being allocated to help the lower chain pf income families a way to aid the situation would be to disperse more government funds and aid to invest in shelters and awareness classes and programs to help get there members to the working class of society.

War: War is lone of the worlds problems that acts as a domino affect when there is war it takes so much of the affected countries resources and its neighboring and allied forces as well. war brings turmoil to the afflicted countries increasing death rates of innocent civilians as well as increasing chances and strikes of terrorism. This is evident in the current was in sierra. a way to help foster this problem would be for the political leaders to have better rein over the countries proving a peaceful environment for its citizens with adequate resources for living so radical groups don't develop or have no power.

Global Warming: Global warming is defiantly one of the biggest problems that effects every single human being on this planet as well as our wildlife and plant life. with the amount of Co2 we are releasing the temperatures are getting warmer and warmer. which is resulting in lost habitat for some animals changes in the ocean patterns and ultimately unstable climate conditions for us. we need to try to drastically reduce our carbon emissions by  going green and weeding off the traditional cars. moving to more clean energy sources such as wind, electric, solar and hydro.

Lack of education: because of the high poverty rates there is a dramatic increase in the lack of education. these lower income families cant afford to go to college and receive a high education. or in some cases are too busy helping at home to sustain their families to even attend high school. one option is for the government to figure out a plan to proved fully free education. and regulate it. that way many more would be able t/o take the step and better themselves.

Social inequality: the social inequality comes from anything either race, income, level, gender. we see the gender inequality with athletes and in the corporate world. we see the income inequality with the growing numbers of poverty. and we see that racial inequality is still evident with the differences in pay and the radical ideas and groups that still exist today. the only way to end this is to continue spreading awareness. and demanding equality in every form.

Exploitation of resources: one way this is extremely evident is our use of oil and coal. many of the nations over use their recourse in a way called tragedy of the commons and more. we are now being to see scarcity in the resource that are viable to our exsistance. the only way to converse these resources is to reduce consumption and find alternative ways instead of the constant use of gas oil, plastics, ect.

Disease: with the ever so growing population gives way for the higher chance of disease. we've seen this with the mad cow, swine flew ect. these disease are able to spread so quickly because of our growing population. you also see the increase in strains of cancer and aids. a proposal for this would be to increase funding for disease prevention providing more free vaccinations. as well as research towards cancer and aids.

Political insatiability: political instability is something that has plagued m,any nations but not always particularly the US. we've seen this with germany, korea, china, ect where the leaders are unfit and put the nation itself at at risk when they decide to take a dictatorship approach. we are seeing this this year in the US when there are such radical ideas for the presidency that could dramatically affect the United States citizens.
