World's Biggest Problems

Problem #1 - There is current debate on whether or not refugees fleeing from Syria should be allowed to enter other countries.

Solution: Any nation that has the available resources to accommodate refugees should be obligated to accept refugees because it isn't fair to discriminate against an entire group of individuals based on their religious beliefs.

Problem #2 - The fight against ISIS is causing all types of problems as suicide bombers are wreaking havoc across the globe, heightening the public's fears about homeland security in the process.

Solution: Increase the message to ISIS that we will not back down to acts of irrational violence. Enact a global campaign using the social media to deter individuals from joining ISIS.

Problem #3 - Police brutality against minorities has reached a melting pot, and now the question is: when are, if ever, the police liable for there actions?

Solution: Every single police officer should be outfitted with a bodycam in order to determine what truly happened.

Problem #4 - The effects of global warming is causing surface temperatures to rise, which is threating not only the habitats of animals in various regions, but also our daily lives.

Solution: Greatly decrease our CO2 emissions by using alterative resources that loosen our grip on toxic chemicals depleting the ozone. Place a heavier tax on companies that pollute the air; thereby causing the company to find innovative ways to reduce CO2 output.

Problem #5 - Poverty is still not receiving the necessary media coverage to instill a sense of empathy across the globe.

Solution: Encourage networks to broadcast more coverage of the effects of poverty. Just the other day while I was walking in downtown, I saw two homeless people sleeping on the street with no blankets. This isn't covered in the news due to the fact that the majority doesn't think that this is a hot topic.

Problem #6 - The global market is in crisis, which is causing some individuals to believe that this is a repeat of the 2007 financial crisis. To make matters worse, China is going through a huge economic downturn.

Solution: China has to implement new fiscal policies that alter both their domestic and international affairs. Also, hysteria causes rash decision making, which, in turn, creates hasty decisions and even more problems. That being said, now would be the time for countries to actually listen to what an economist has to say.

Problem #7 - Although it can be argued that pay inequalities are increasingly becoming more equal, one can still say that we still have a long journey ahead.

Solution: As we all know, stereotypes, bigotry and sexism hinder individuals from equal opportunities. This results in a narrower pool of human capital, diversity, and open-mindedness. Inclusion is the only way to ensure that each individual gets their fair chance of imputing their voice. However, the only way to ensure that each individuals gets their fair chance, employers must be willing to give fair pay.

Problem #8 - The deforestation of Haiti and Brazil is frightening, not just for environmentalists, but  for animals and people as well. Destroying trees and animals' habitat will eventually come to bite us back, especially since we depend on these vital organisms in the ecosystem.

Solution: Haiti needs to find other ways to obtain their products. Brazil is cutting down trees to grow crops for sugar cane in order to make ethanol. Obviously, these two countries need to reevaluate their methods of procuring their items.

Problem #9 - There are still threats to our existence due to the fact that there are still countries harboring nuclear weapons.

Solution: Honestly, I believe that every country should just disarm all nuclear weapons.

Problem #10 - Currently, there is a water shortage going on across the globe.

Solution: Urban farming by hydroponics and vertical growing because they use ultraviolent light and reduce the need for over-irrigation.
