1. Terrorism
2. U.S Debt
3. Unemployment
4. Increase in world's population
5. Availability of energy
Rank order of the solutions from most possible to least possible/
1. Terrorism- A solution would be to stop giving these terrorist the time of day and throwing everything they do on the world news. And send every special force operative in and get the job done where it is needed.
2. U.S Debt- A Solution would be to start taxing the top five percent more and start putting that towards the debt. Stop buying so much from other countries and make more in country stuff.
3. Unemployment- A solution is to find the companies that can afford and still make profit and hire more people. The more people at work the more money we can get back and try to help the debt go down.
4. Availability of energy- A solution for more energy is use what we already have. We have so many different types of ways to make energy but most places choose to use the most expensive kind, or charge a ridiculous amount of money for a cheaper way of electricity.
5. Increase in world's population- There really is no way to stop the world's population from growing in today's day in age. People are going to have babies and the rate is going faster than the death rate. There really is not much we can do ethically and morally.
My top problem is terrorism and it was the most important because no matter what channel you turn to no matter who you talk to isis comes into play. If we need to stop them we need to exterminate them any way possible and any means necessary. The reason why I think the top solution will work is because there is literally no other way.
I was very surprised to see terrorism as the most serious problem on both of my peer review lists! I personally think it is a relevant issue, however, I do think there are issues that effect more people. I love your solution for the county's debt with regard to taxes, and I believe cutting spending (such as military spending) would be a great way to help that as well. Just a point on population growth: more countries are beginning to decrease in population rather than increase. It seems to be a trend in industrialization, and as capitalism spreads it makes it difficult for large families to sustain themselves as well.

ReplyDeleteI have to agree about terrorism, my thought is, who's profiting from this "war" we constantly have going on? It seems someone has to be benefiting from it, otherwise someone would have put an end to it sooner. I think, and I hate to say it, but it almost sounds like a conspiracy to make profit for these governments involved.
ReplyDeleteMy other interest was in regards to Unemployment. I know there are plenty of people out there who want to work, and can't find a job or nothing that pays decently. However, what about the people we're not counting? Those that just give up the search or become wards of the government? I think that needs to be considered in the quest to solve that problem as well.
Great job!!

I definitely agree with most of your problems, such as terrorism, unemployment, and U.S. debt. No one is profiting from, and US debt and unemployment is making everyone suffer. I think that's why it's great we are taking this class to create more opportunities for employment.
