"Top 5 World Problems"

“Top 5 World Problems”

1)    Global Water Crisis. As the world population increases, the water supply has decreased, and we find many underdeveloped countries with no clean water for it’s citizens. On the other spectrum, we find developed countries overusing their water supply.

2)    Water contamination. As pollutants are poured into our atmosphere, and our water systems, drinkable water has become contaminated. This is not only seen in underdeveloped countries, but in developed countries such as the United States where water contamination is becoming an issue in cities such as Flint, Michigan

3)    Armed violence around the world has caused mass shootings.

4)    Racism and discrimination. Racism based on color is prevailing in the United States and around the world, and religion discrimination is affecting millions.

5)    Media has a large impact in society, and the lack of information has led to misinformed citizens.     

As I chose my top 5 world problems, I considered those who have detrimental consequences to society as a whole. My top choice was the Global Water Crisis because of droughts occurring throughout the world due to climate change, we are faced with a limited supply of this natural resource. Second is water contamination. With water contamination, thousands of individuals and in children are being poisoned through the water that is available to them. Third is armed violence; we are having a large issue with armed violence that has affected different parts of the world regardless of skin color or religion. It is of great importance to comprehend on the idea of armed violence around the world and how is killing thousands of innocent individuals. Fourth is racism and discrimination which is segregating society through fear and oppression. Lastly is the media. Media has a large impact in society, and it is how we get our information.

 “Top Five Solutions”

1)    Laws that prevent civilians to from obtaining guns, or stricter laws that will require those individuals to go through screening processes.

2)    Laws that require the media to stop being biased on certain issues. Also, they need to provide the correct information on products.

3)    First, in order to find a solution, the developed countries should place a limitation on how much water a household can utilized during the day. In underdeveloped countries, corporations can invest in water plants, that will provide jobs to local community members and also provide a water supply.

4)    Accountability from manufacturers, corporation, and government systems to stop contaminated the drinkable water.

5)    Open-mindedness is a necessity in today’s world in order to bring humanity forward, and create a society where businesses and firms can prosper with a diverse population.

The first three are related to laws, and leaders of countries around the world need to pass lows in order to protect their people. Laws are passed by individuals who represent a whole country, and it is in their duty to protect their constituents. The fourth solution is accountability from businesses and government officials on how they are contaminating the world’s drinkable water. Lastly, there needs to be an open-mindedness in society in order to advance and create better future for the following generations.
