World's Biggest Problems

1. ISIS- The terrorist group that has wreaked havoc throughout much of the Middle East, Europe, and north america is a global problem. A practical solution to this problem is to tighten airport security, loosen gun control, and secure the United State’s borders.
2. Water- With exponential population growth across the globe, the annual usage of water is continuing to rise at an unhealthy level. A practical solution to conserving more water is to educate the general public on ways that they can conserve more and also implementing sustainable agricultural methods.
3. Global Climate Change- The world’s temperature is on the rise and there is no doubt about it. The bickering of politics regarding the facts must end and there needs to be a solution. A simple solution to fighting the global climate change is education - and the fact that as a species, we must stand together or we will all be gone. 
4. Unemployment- This is a staggering number of as high as 45% for the youth populations in certain countries. Unemployment in the US is growing and to counteract this fact, there must be an incentive for people to not sit on their butt instead of getting a job. Government handouts for the able-bodied people who are lazy, but claim to be “seeking a job” need to be significantly cut. 
5. Food- As with the water problem, the fact that population growth has tripled in the past 50 years leads to there being more mouths to feed with less food available. The solution is to cut back waste through educational campaigns to limit the amount of food that consumers waste on a daily basis.
6. Divide between the rich and the poor- In the United States, for example, there is equal opportunity for people to build or create a business, go to school, and find a job. There is no guarantee that there is an equal outcome, just the equal opportunity. The wealth gap is something that will not be solved overnight, but in order to first look at an implementable solution, educating society on the fact that there is equal opportunity and abundant resources is the first step for people to realize their power.
7. Status of women- In many countries around the world there is still sexual discrimination and women are not treated properly or given the same rights as men. To solve this problem, there needs to be women’s rights global movement to make countries aware of their oppressive behavior.
8. Racism- This is still a major issue throughout the world and continues to cause trouble even after the civil rights movement and efforts of countless individuals throughout time. An implementable solution to solving this problem is to have global icons stand up for human rights and speak out to schools, churches, communities about the effects of racism in hopes of creating an atmosphere of love, not hate. 
9. Internet- This is a weapon that can be used for good or definitely for evil. Online scams, fraud, the safety of online shopping, and cyber bullying are all negative aspects of the internet that come with the benefits of global interconnectivity. A solution to the problem of cyber bullying and online hoaxes is to educate the youth on the problems and scams associated with the internet. Government-funded educational programs given throughout schools will reduce the amount of trouble that children get into on the web.
10. Urbanization- The problem of urbanization is that cities are becoming too crowded and pollution is overcoming the cities. A solution to this is to subsidize the rural housing market and to give buyers an incentive to live in the rural areas of the world as opposed to the crowded, congested cities.
