ENT3003 Grace Withers: World's Biggest Problems

There are many people who still live without electricity or running water. this is such a crazy idea to grasp because of how even some of the poorest live in the United States and other developed countries. This problem is daunting when trying to think of a practical solution, however, simply spreading the word and educating people could have a profound effect.

A study done by the UN has estimated there to be around 842 million people that are undernourished, so around one in nine people remain hungry each day. Hunger is such a big problem because it results in death. Feeding America states that, "hunger exists in every community of our country. 1 in 6 people struggle to get enough to eat". A practical solution to this would be developing ways to easily and sustainably grow food in developing countries, and then teaching the citizens how to maintain the growth of the food.

A lack of quality education or education at all, for those of all genders and socials classes, is a problem faced many many today. A practical way solution for this could simply be providing more opportunities for quality education by better supporting teachers and the importance of education as a whole.

Close to half of the world's wealth is owned by the top one percent of the population. This leaves most of the worlds population underrepresented in many spheres, like in politics for example. A potential way to combat this problem could be creating more jobs in order to bridge the unemployment gap.

Religion has constantly been a cause of war and conflict from the crusades to the Spanish inquisition. Lately the conflict over religion has been surrounding Islam and its relation, whether valid or not, to terrorism. This conflict has made many people targets of unwarranted cruelty. A practical solution to this would simply be educating the public about different religions and teaching tolerance for all people of different faiths.

The war on terrorism has been an ongoing problem in the world. I feel like there has been much talon ways to combat this, however, I am not sure there is one "right" way to tackle this. The only thing I can think that would help the response and prevention of this is banding together with other cooperating nations to come up with a plan of attack, no pun intended, and a come up with a prevention plan.

This problem has been one talked about heavily in the past decade or so. This is a problem that my generation really grew up hearing about, and I feel like it is one we have been able to witness first hand. There is not really a solution to this problem, but we could all try to reduce our carbon footprint in order to help maintain the world we live in today. I am not sure if this is a problem that can be fixed, but we could all put forth effort to keep it from getting worse.

This is a problem that can be seen in one way, shape, or form in most countries across the world. Although the type of corruption differs amongst countries, it is a problem none the less. One way this problem could be combatted is by the UN overseeing, to a certain extent, the facilitating of countries in order to maintain the rights of the citizens.

This problem is seen in many different capacities around the world. There are places where you are persecuted fro practicing certain religions, and in some countries women still have little to no rights. Education is one great way to combat this.

This issue has many different fronts, and there are many different stances that one can take on this issue. This is a big issue in most countries across the world, and more than 747,000 people that are killed due to armed violence each year. I will admit I completely believe that as a citizen of the United States I have the right to bear arms, however, I believe a way that this could be solved is a better screening system when people buy and sell guns to anyone in any country.
