1. Poverty has become a huge problem worldwide
2. On a different note, terrorism has been a huge problem worldwide. With ISIS in full throttle, nations have to begin to fear and start preparing for potential attacks.
3. Gun Control has been a huge issue specifically in the United States. With all of the mass shootings over the past 10-15 years, people are starting to question whether or not people should be able to buy guns anymore.
4. Sexual abuse for both
men and women has become a big problem worldwide and especially on college
campuses. Stories are on the news daily of a girl getting beaten at a bar
or raped after a night at the bars. A fix would be to enforce more
education about manners, self-defense, and sexual encounters.
5. Laziness
has become a huge problem nationwide.
I
chose these problems in order because of how bad poverty has gotten worldwide. In the United States alone is 15% and 12.7% worldwide
wide. In the United States, the problem
does not stop there. The current presidential debate is discussing different
solutions to help the wealth inequality.
Solutions must be made to fix the poverty problem and increase the
working middle class. The other problems listed under it have great
significance as well. The terrorist
group ISIS has to be contained soon before their terrorism expands and leads to
wars. Gun Control and sexual abuse need
to be control especially in the United States.
And finally, laziness is something I have just realized as a problem in
the United States specifically. Hard
work leads to success, can’t expect to be given everything.
1. I think that people
should still be able to buy guns, but the process should be harder, especially
for the powerful guns. Tests should be taken just like a hunting
license.
2. A
fix for sexual abuse would be to enforce more education about manners, self-defense, and sexual
encounters
3. The
way the problem with traffic worldwide can be fixed is not always creating a 9-5 work schedule. And also to
create lights that analyze traffic and help speed traffic up.
4. The ISIS Terrorist group is a hard fix
because there are many different viewpoints. I would think if we join
together with other victims and stop their expansion and limit their resources,
the terrorist group would be finished.
5. Find similar resources
that can be used to achieve the same effect could fix the decline in natural resources problem
Of the solutions I came up with, I thought that my solution
for gun control is the best solution. I
believe in the 2nd Amendment and what it stands for. I believe in having the right to defend
yourself against the possible evils in the world. However, I do believe it has become too easy
to obtain guns, especially the high powered guns. With more tests, people can get more
knowledge of their firearms and the purposes behind the firearms. These tests can also lead to red flags in
certain people who may have psychotic problems.
Unfortunately, there is always going to be the problem of bad guys find
ways to obtain weapons to do bad things. However, with more regulations, these
bad things might be decreased.
I liked your post overall, and definitely agree with poverty being the most problematic, and least solvable of all problems. The only part that I disagree with is that gun control is one of the top 5 world problems overall. While it is a huge problem in the US, personally I wouldn't even rank it among the top 5 problems in the US, particularly with problems like antibiotic resistance, global warming, and the spread of deadly diseases left off of the list.

Hey Brandon, our lists have some similarities as we both have poverty listed as our biggest problem. It's an issue that causes so many other problems and if we could just fix poverty, I think it would solve a lot of the other problems in the world. Feel free to check out my other problems here: http://matthewent3003.blogspot.com/2016/01/top-5-world-problems.html
ReplyDeleteHey Brandon,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your post and several of our lists had similarities including poverty and terrorism. One that I didn't have that I like is laziness. But the good thing about this problem is that it makes it easier for us to stand out. Check out my block here:
