Top 5 World Problems

This is my top 5 ranking for the global issues that I had listed in my previous post.

1.       The diminishing sources for fresh water throughout the world.

2.       Hunger around the world.

3.       The lack of availability of an education.

4.       Global Terrorism.

5.       The uneven distribution of global wealth.

And now these are the solutions that I believe to be the most possible to implement.

1.       The invention of a faster desalinization process.

2.       Countries taking responsibility for educating its citizens.

3.       Nonprofits and charities giving more money to their cause of fighting hunger.

4.       Understanding what breeds the growth of terrorism and being able to take swift action.

5.       Larger nations helping grow smaller undeveloped ones instead of taking advantage of them.

I listed these problems and solutions in this order based on my own opinion of what I think the biggest issue are and the most possibly implemented solutions.  I ranked the diminishing source of fresh water as the biggest problem because it’s an issue everywhere in the world and it is quite possibly the fastest increasing issue.  With the loss of drinking water to highly populated areas the world will end up with mass death and disease.  It’s also not hard to imagine war over sources of clean drinking water when it is a scarce commodity. In short, I feel that this issue will lead to and add towards many other of the world’s biggest issues.  I also put the solution to this issue as the most possible. We already have a way to desalinize sea water. It’s just not fast enough to help in terms of providing fresh water on a large scale basis.  The technology already exist and I believe that when the issue becomes an immediate threat that it won’t take too much effort from scientist around the world to increase the efficiency of an already existing process. The rest of my list is as it is because the higher the issue is ranked, the more problems arise from that specific issue. With the solutions, they are ranked as such because the more possible ones are based on creating or slightly changing things that don’t affect people or governments and the less possible ones are based on changing human nature, which is much harder.
