Top 5 World Problems

1)    Terrorism

Justification- This is by far the biggest immediate threat to individuals around the globe.  Terrorists have are not selecting one particular Country to go after, they are attacking innocent people that they deem to be different than them around the world.

2)    Cyber Theft

Justification- This is a growing issue that continues to be a source of huge concern for Governments and people around the globe.  This problem is growing bigger and more serious every day.  This issue plays into another world problem that did not make the top 5, National Security. 

3)    Lack of Government Leadership

Justification- Government leadership has always had their differences, and at times when the opinions were the most diverse is when we had the most conflict.  Unfortunately, as of late this diversity is growing again.  There are summits and world organizations that seek to improve these relations, unfortunately not all countries are members, and depending upon the subject, all have their own agendas.

4)    Human trafficking of Women and children for the purpose of sexual exploitation and forced slavery

Justification- This issue has been around since the beginning of time and continues to become worse each year.  Regulation tends to slow this issue at times, and then the traffickers find a ways around the regulation and then it increases again.  Not as pressing as some of the other immediate concerns.

5)    Destruction of Natural Resources

Justification- This is a big problem, fortunately some safeguards have been instituted.  We just unfortunately need more safeguards to further protect these delicate environments that are still shrinking.   

Top 5 Solutions 

1) Cyber Theft 

Justification- We already have an International Criminal Court that prosecutes individuals for crimes against humanity and other similar crimes.  We need this court to recognize the seriousness of these crimes and to push for the prosecution of the individuals involved.

2) Destruction of Natural Resources

Justification- There are already World Organizations in place that need to become more involved in these issues so that we can better conserve these resources.  

3) Human trafficking of Women and children for the purpose of sexual exploitation and forced slavery

Justification- As with Cyber Theft, there is already an International Criminal Court that needs to step in and help bring the individuals responsible to justice.  This issue is a little harder to tackle due to the heads of the trafficking organizations not being directly involved.  So bringing them to justice is a little harder.  Government agencies working together should be able to overcome any issues that are presented.

4) Lack of Government Leadership

Justification- This issue is a one of the hardest to fix due to each Country having its own agenda when dealing with one another.  This mixed with several other factors, the largest of which is national pride and the egos associated with it.  Coming together for a common cause is almost impossible. 

5) Terrorism

Justification- Terrorists abilities to blend in and assimilate to the societies that they ultimately terrorize makes this the hardest issue to tackle.  IT is easier to defeat an enemy when you can readily identify them.  With terrorists, that identification is sometimes impossible until after the attack takes place.  Even though this is the biggest worldwide concern, due to the all the uncertainty that can surround Terrorists, this is the hardest to prevent and enact.
