Worst problems:
1. Global Warming
2. Terrorism
3. Spread of
infectious disease
4. Cost of education
5. Ignorance
I selected my list of top 5 problems with
relative ease. I truly believe that people’s rapid consumption of nonrenewable
energy and resources is the biggest problem we face as human beings. All of the
other problems won’t have time to plague us if we all succumb to climate
change. Rising sea levels, a lack of freshwater, mass species extinction, and
resource wars will destroy us before terrorism has a chance to. That’s not to
downplay the nasty issue of terrorism and increasing globalization leading to
the spread of evolving infectious disease. At the root of these issues is
ignorance and overall lack of education regarding their severity. If education
was cheaper or people opened their eyes, becoming a little less selfish, the
human race would be way better off.
Easiest to solve:
1.
Obesity
2.
Political
Correctness
3.
Cost
of education
4.
Religious
coexistence
5.
Terrorism
Solving for obesity is all about treating
your and your families’ bodies with love and care- stop poisoning your body
with crappy food and exercise. This life is the only one we are guaranteed
exists and your body is the vessel through which your mind can travel the world
and live comfortably/healthily. Solving for political correctness is also a
simple recognition/reiteration of the 2nd Amendment and the
importance of open communication. Putting value on education also isn’t that
hard to implement, which would help with solving religious intolerance and in
turn, terrorism.
Ryan, what an excellent job you did with your list. I would have to agree with pretty much everything you said, most notably cost of education and global warming. These are issues that we need to do a much better job of controlling in the future.

Hey Ryan, I think you explained yourself extremely well. I agree with most of your list. On my post, I put basic human needs instead of an issue that can cause it like global warming. Instead of global warming, I put education on the top of my list to help people understand what they are doing so they can prevent things like destroying our planet. Even though for the most part I agreed on your problem ranking, I disagree with you on your solution ranking. I do not feel like obesity is the easiest to fix. How will you get the resources to allow people to make the right choices, buy the right food, and exercise enough. A lot of people eat junk and do not exercise as much as they should because they do not have time. Working 9-5 jobs and coming home to take care of more work and a family can make this difficult. It would probably take much more than just "people eating right and exercising" which wouldn't in my opinion make it the most realistic solution.
