Worlds Biggest Problems

Hey internet,

This is a list of the worlds 10 biggest problems, according to me. 

1) Dirty water is everywhere. People in developed and undeveloped nations are unable to get to clean water. In developed nations, often the issue can be one of personal greed opposed to an inability to provide clean water in an easy way. In undeveloped countries, it can often be an issue of transporting water to an area that can't find it themselves. If you can't bring the water to the people, it can often be pretty simple to find a way for the people to clean the water themselves.

2) The growing wage gap in America is making it more and more difficult to develop a middle class. This really perpetuates  a cycle where a large number of people aren't thriving. One of the easiest ways to combat this is to provide affordable housing to more people, and to provide housing that caters to the general public. The wage gap is a difficult item to tackle.

3) Pollution is ripping the ozones fragile heart to pieces every day. It cries over smog. Industrial nations are producing harmful toxins at a rate that the world cannot repair at. One of the easiest ways to battle pollution is to encourage mass transit. It's a small step to continue putting mass transit into the nations biggest cities. 

4) Racism is an ongoing structural issue around the world. People are affected in every region of every nation. It's a far cry from defeated. This is especially important because often the world believes that because we are running out of enslaved populations, we are no longer racist. One way to combat this is to talk about racism in public ways that brings it to everyones attention.

5) Americans are no longer saving as responsibly as they should. The numbers are staggering. No one considers retirement with the weight that Americans used to. The future is hard to read when Americans are unwilling to take care of themselves. It will fall on us to cover the publics butt when they retire. We can help to change this by informing people of the importance of retirement and saving.

6) Social security is going to run out. People are no longer going to be receiving the money that they have been pitching towards all of their life. As we continue to put money in, we will eventually find that we don't receive it back. It's going to be a large issue. One way for us to fight this is to push for social security reform.

7) Honey bee numbers have been on a horrendous decline over the last few years. This is globally a big issue because honeybees are the reason so many of our plants get pollinated. Without bees pollinating many of our flowers, we would be watching so much of the nation and worlds floral beauty crumble. We can help the bee population by providing them more habitat and providing minimally invasive means to control their predation.

8) the divorce rate in the US is around 50%, which has been harming our youth and hurting our nation. Divorce is expensive and damages our most important resource: our future citizens. Divorce is also expensive, robbing spouses of their financial security. Few societies thrive when the sanctity of marriage falls apart. We can fight this by providing help to struggling married couples in an affordable way.

9) Public schools are underfunded because home values are not what they used to be. Because of poorly funded schools, our children receive poorly funded education and thus are less prepared for higher education and ultimately the workforce. The way we can fight this is by keeping a flat tax amount that won't fluctuate with property values, so we can ensure our schools have certain resources. 

10) Tuition costs are globally on the rise. It's of the highest importance for students to be able to enjoy an affordable education. Affordable education is how we ensure a self sufficient working class. If the majority of people don't have some form of higher education, it's much easier for society to ask for others to support them. One way to offer more affordable education is by asking the government for increased funding.
