1.) Gender Inequality- Around the world there is an overwhelming difference between male and female in the job market and has a huge impact on individual communities worldwide.
2.) Global Warming- This issue has been widely debated for a very long time, but with the increase in carbon monoxide into our atmosphere the earth is slowly reach the danger area.
3.) Wars- Wars cause large percentages of casualties that devastate certain areas. Also with war comes abuse of weaponry i.e.. nuclear weapons.
4.)The constant spread of Disease- The harmful affects of diseases causes major issues among the world. These diseases cause death and hurt the communities economically.
5.) Economics- With the increasing debt nations across the globe face its hard to see how this couldn't be a major problem. With government spending on certain fields that don't necessarily need funding increases to major issues that effect everyday citizens.
Reason:
The reason behind choosing my top problem as gender inequality and continued to keep the first five I had originally put in the " The Top 10 Problems" was due to my strong belief that they are actually the top 5 for both category's. Gender inequality by far is the most serious problem because with gender inequality it divides the society and causes economic prosperity to downfall. Gender inequality is not right and is seen world wide no matter where you go.
Solutions:
Solution- Implement a law that allows for equal opportunities for women among the workforce. Individuals will argue against gender inequality, but in economically poor areas the abuse of women and their rights are non existent.
Solution- Create more programs that help restrict the emissions being put into our atmosphere. Also have industries being regulated to the standards of which restrict them from producing more harmful products for the earth we live on.
Solution- Have a better system in place that allows for both sides to peacefully agree upon a compromise.
Solution- More money invested into finding ways to cure these diseases or to prevent more spreading.
Solution- With government spending on certain fields that don't necessarily need funding increases to major issues that effect everyday citizens.
Reason: The reason behind my selecting of the gender inequality solution as the most implementable solution was because with the world becoming more prominent with women leaders in various industries its causing the opportunity for this to actually happen more likely.With the strides of women leaders in i.e. United States it shows that women deserve rights and opportunities in smaller less poor nations.
I hate to be a debbie, however I don't agree with your post. I do not believe gender inequality is remotely close as the worlds largest problem. Different cultures have different standards and in the United States I don't think its a problem. People bitch about wages however when I worked for a chick-fil-a, girls up front usually made more money and some kids who I felt like I was a stronger worker than them made more money than me. Payroll distributes money and they don't even look at the person's face behind the name. There are real issues that effect humans and this planet on a daily basis that are far worse than gender inequality.
ReplyDeletePatrick I loved reading through your post. I like that you chose gender inequality as your top world problem, because as a female I know what sexism is like in a country that's about freedom. The condition of women globally is horrible. I think it will take more than implementing laws however, for example, although the Jim Crow laws don't exist today racism still does. I do like the beginning steps for your solutions, great job and keep on thinking! Here's mine http://lfrancie.blogspot.com/2016/01/top-5-world-problems.html our lists are pretty different!
