1. The world is facing a huge problem right now with terrorism attacks associated with with ISIS. A practical solution would be increasing safety protocols, awareness and security in regards to traveling and crossing borders.
2. Rapid Climate Change is a serious problem especially global warming. A practical solution would be to reduce, reuse and recycle.

4. Another problem is economic collapse and fragilities in the global economy can severely affect the developed world. This can be spreading prosperity to places in need and government interference.
5. Another problem includes the increase of multi-drug resistant bacteria, in addition to the threat of deadly viruses going pandemic, such as influenza and MERS. A practical solution can be vaccinations.

    1. This is an awesome list of world problems. I could not agree more with the first issue being radical islamic terrorism, it was number 1 on my list as well. Climate change is another thing that I tend to agree with you on, and feel that it has the potential to destroy our planet if left ignored. With 795 million people worldwide suffering from malnutrition, it is hard to disagree with this being one of the top 10 world issues. I believe this will one of the most challenging problems we face. Heres the link to my problems if you would like to check them out: http://scottysscene.blogspot.com/2016/01/worlds-biggest-problems.html

  2. Gabie,
    I really enjoyed your list. I did not even think of the multi-resistant bacteria to all the drugs we have now but that is definitely a growing issue. Also I agree with more gun control laws in the U.S. We also need a complete change in attitude about the sanctity of life and can do so by putting a stop to promoting violence in the media which encourages and reinforces that violence is okay. Thanks so much for sharing! Feel free to check out my list as well at http://blessingsinablog.blogspot.com/2016/01/worlds-biggest-problems.html

  3. Hey Gabie, you put together a well though out list. Your number 8 really stood out to me. It really does seem like there is a health scare going on in our country. Many people need health care but can't get it and others just choose not to get it. Also, I mentioned the extinction scare in my list as well. It truly is crazy to think that one day our children will not be able to see the same animals that we once did. I agree with you about trying to cut back on the killing of species that are heading in the direction of extinction. I enjoyed reading your blog and provided below is the link to mine.
