Top 5 World Problems

Here are 5 of the world's biggest problems ranked from "most serious" to "least serious" (but still pretty serious) 
  1. Lack of World Peace
  2. International Terrorism 
  3. The Global Economic Situation
  4. Political and Social Instability 
  5. Lack of Resources 

I selected "World Peace" as the top problem because if we solve that, almost all of the other problems on my list will be solved too.  "International Terrorism" is a danger to every human on Earth and exists as a result of lack of world peace, the worsening global economic situation, and the political and social instability that exists as well.  I selected "Lack of Resources" as "least serious" because this one can be solved with help from science and strategy. 

Here are 5 solutions to the world's biggest problems (in my opinion) ranked from "most-possible to implement" to "least-possible to implement."
  1. Lack of Resources: Distribute the world's resources more effectively and then use them wisely and effectively.
  2. Political and Social Instability: Foster effective and non-corrupt government officials who actually listen to their constituents. Wow, what a thought? Oh, and overthrow the corrupt government systems! I say we start with Cuba.'
  3. The Global Economic Situation: Create budgets and stick to them. Or take a big step at world peace and maybe we wouldn't have to spend massive amounts of money on defense and weapons.
  4. International Terrorism: This one is really tricky to solve. I wish I had all of the answers
  5. Lack of World Peace: This one is another tricky one to solve. I'll let you know if I think of anything great to solve this one! Just kidding, I'll go straight to Washington D.C. if I figure out how to solve this problem.
These solutions are ranked in reverse from the Problem List.  This is because there is a direct correlation between the size and capacity of the problem and the size and capacity of the proposed solution I created for it.  As you can see, the last two problems on my "Solutions" list don't really even have solutions because the problems are so severe, I can't even fathom a solution. 

Update: Still don't know how to spell "entrepreneurship" without relying on Spell Check but thankfully I didn't have to use the word in this post (until now)

  1. Erica,

    Nice blog post! We had very similar problems. I like how you included terrorism; I did too. Not everyone thinks of terrorism as an immediate threat, however, I do. I also said that terrorism would be difficult to put and end to. I also included poverty as my economic issue. We have similar minds! I like how your blog post has some humor. I enjoyed reading it. The update was really funny. Keep it up! Check out my blog post here: http://taylertibbits.blogspot.com/2016/02/elevator-pitch-no-1.html#comments
