World's Biggest Problems

1. World hunger has become a huge problem in today's world. About 795 million people do not eat enough food to be considered healthy; that is about 1 in every 9 people. That is a very large problem that requires a very large solution. However, I think at least here in the United States there can be legislation that can be passed in order to assist this problem. Currently, in many states, there are laws that state that restaurants giving homeless people leftover food is illegal due to health risks. I think that the benefits of people being fed outweighs the risk that a few may become ill.
2. Poverty has been increasing in the past few years. More and more people are living a life where what they are treated as can be considered inhumane. I think a solution to increasing poverty is for the government to create more jobs through projects where there is no pay gap between women and men. In homeless families across the United States, 90% are headed by a female.
3. 70 million children are not going to school across the globe. This creates weak countries where the population is uneducated and can be taken advantage of by their government. Celebrities such as Oprah and Angelina Jolie have donated millions of dollars to fund schools both domestically and internationally. This is can help the problem, however it will not eliminate it completely until the governments of such countries take action.
4. Human trafficking has become a large problem in our very own state. Florida has the 3rd highest rate for sex trafficking behind California (#1) and Texas (#2) in the entire nation. Police must be more vigilant of this crime and judicial branch of the government should enforce the maximum punishment for this crime to defer people from doing it.
5. Unemployment right now is about 5%. Many look to the government for solutions, however, I believe people should also hold themselves accountable to find themselves a job. Not everyone who is unemployed will find a job in their previous field, that is difficult. However, many should consider expanding their horizons and taking jobs where there are offered. It can be a temporary solution until one finds a job in their area of expertise.
6. Diseases are impacting every family. Although vaccinating ourselves and children may seem like a hassle, it is a necessary evil. Governments and schools should enforce vaccinations more strictly in order to control the diseases we can actually treat.
7. Racism is a large part of other problems that have been occurring in the Unites States. However, I would like to encourage people to stop calling each other all the derogatory terms used to undermine different races and genders in a joking way. The sooner these worlds are not used within their own culture and societies, the sooner everyone else will stop saying them as well. I had a friend that would always call herself dumb, then became upset when others would say it about her. People thought it was acceptable for them to say it since she herself said it. This mentality is obviously not moral, but it is what many human tend to do naturally.
8. ISIS has become quickly the most feared terrorist group in decades. I have no knowledge on military information so I do not know what solution would be best, however, I do think that they do not take the United States seriously. Our government needs to pose as a stronger threat to them.
9. Communism is a problem in the world that has impacted my family and community greatly. I am from Miami where 54% of people are Cuban, therefore you can image the community's hate toward Cuba's communist government and leader. Additionally, many resent President Obama for lifting the embargo with Cuba and making deals with them regarding trade and Guantanamo Bay. As the super power of the world, the United States should be putting more pressure on such communist governments instead of making the oppression of people's rights so easy for them.
10. The environment is quickly becoming endangered by businesses. Factories and wastelands are damaging and hurting the environment at rapid speeds. Companies need to be more vigilant about how they produce and dispose of their items during the manufacturing process. Consumers like businesses that "go green" or are for sustainable development, so the process would also benefit owners and stockholders.
