Top 5 World Problems

Worlds biggest problems in order of decreasing severity:

1. Terrorism 
2. Dependence on fossil fuels
3. Climate change 
4. Demand for food vs. food production
5. Increasing poverty population

Terrorism to me is the  biggest problem  facing the world today due to the fact that it can do the most damage to the earth in the shortest amount of time. It can affect the economy, political structure, mindset, and lives of people of all nations. The second most pressing issue today is our dependence on fossil fuels. We rely heavily on oil, coal and gas to power our home, manufacture the products we use, and even to make the food we eat. This must be a priority or it will eventually lead to climate change which is next on the list. Climate change is real and cannot be stopped. I put it as third on my list because it is not as pressing as terrorism and lowering our dependence on fossil fuels must be done before tacking other climate change issues. The next is demand for food versus food production. As our population increases, so does demand for food. However, large plots of land are becoming bare due to overgrazing or farming and it is becoming increasingly difficult to cater to the world's food demand. Finally, the increasing poverty population is an issue that can have catastrophic consequences in the long run. Poor populations tend to have large 4-6 children families and have little to no educational background. Therefore they don't contribute much to the developmen my of their country and make the world population and demand for food/water issue worse. They multiply but don't produce. 

The top 5 most implementable solutions in order of decreasing feasibility are:

1. Dependence on fossil fuels
2. Terrorism
3. Demand for food vs food production 
4. Climate change 
5. Increasing poverty population 

I believe the solution for our dependence on fossil fuels is the most feasible and easiest to implement out of all of the above. This is because there are many alternative forms of energy existent and available and many more innovations soon to be realized. There is solar power, wind energy, wave energy, safe nuclear power, etc. the second most feasible is the solution for terrorism. This one is tough because although I don't know the specific solution to terrorism, I feel like that world should and can come together to fight radical extremesism and eliminate it to a certain extent. There will always be extremism but I believe there is a solution to end the type of extremism that kills hundreds and thousands of people and affects global economies and political structures. The solution for the increasing demand for food is tough but can be found with more agricultural research as well as a shift in global conscientiousness. We must learn to not waste so much food and provide to those who don't have. Finally the incresiaing poverty population is a difficult issue to solve due to the fact that some countries might never develop into sustainable economies. It is possible to reach a point where countries can support themselves and their people, but that point seems very far into the future.
