1. Terrorism
2. Economy
3. Spread of Disease
4. Global Warming
5. Overpopulation
I chose Terrorism at the top of the 5 problems because this issue revolves around different opinions of what terrorism means. For example, terrorist groups to the U.S. and other western countries may not appear as terrorism to countries who have opposing views to ours. Additionally, terrorism is comprised out of an ideology which is something nearly impossible to stop or prevent. Overpopulation seems like the least of problems because it is something that is more worrisome in the future and not an immediate danger as of now.
Top 5 Solutions
1. Species Extinction
2. Homelessness
3. Economy
4. Terrorism
5. Overpopulation
I chose species extinction as something that is the most possible to implement since it requires more enforcement over a species of animals against poaching. Restricting poaching is something that is more easily controlled than overpopulation, which I put as the least possible solution to implement. I put overpopulation as such because of the ethics surrounding this issue. Overpopulation is due to better medical care, which is something no one would want to slow down to allow people to die so that there wouldn't be so many people on the earth. Additionally, it is unethical to restrict how many children households can have, which is something that China does because that country has such a huge overpopulation problem. Therefore, even though overpopulation doesn't seem to be as immediate of a danger as other problems, it is the stickiest problem to find a solution to.
I think your top five problems are very serious and I agree with you on your stances on these issues. I agree with your most plausible solution, because although all of these are very hard to remedy that is a rational one. I feel that education can be the most important factor in solving this issue at least, which is what I wrote about in my post if you want to look at it.

ReplyDeleteI believe terrorism is on everyone's list and it is because it is such a big and critical issue! Aside from this, I also wrote about pollution and the crisis of global warming. These two issues are going to take a lot of resources and effort to resolve and may even take years! But these are things that need attention for future generations. Great list Lauren, go ahead and check my blog out! http://ufrob.blogspot.com/2016/01/rob-top-5-world-problems.html
