World's Biggest Problems

1. Food shortages in developing countries.
Millions of people are dying every year due to worldwide food shortages. If we created a national holiday to send food abroad we could really make a difference. God has blessed this country and in celebration we have thanksgiving. Why not help those in need by sending a large box per family to a developing country. If every United States family came together for one day we could send over 500 million pounds of food to developing countries in need. Major food producers could still profit over such a commercialized holiday ,and starving countries would receive the food they need.
2. Fresh drinking water.
In some developing countries people have to walk miles to access fresh drinking water. Even in our-own country we are having problems with fresh drinking water. Recently they found high amounts of lead in Flint Michigan's Water supply. Water needs to stay a public good. Companies like Coca-Cola are investing in water and bottling it up like soda. Thirty years ago bottled water didn't exist and we didn't have plastic bottles polluting our world. An international board needs to be formed to govern the distribution and testing of safe drinking water. The manipulation of water supply should be as severe as an international war crime.
3. Climate Change.
Our planet is being changed due to our destructive presence. We take from the planet to feed our comforts but we give nothing back. Everything we use needs to be recycled. We need to turn dumps into Forrest and find better ways to recycle our electronics. We need to ban anything related to the burning of fossil fuels. As consumers we need to put our comforts aside and buy products that have less environmental impact. A Green political party needs to be formed in the United States.
4. Religious extremism.
Religion plays a vital role in billions of lives. Beliefs can vary between religions which is why we need to create governments that are accepting to all religions. Separation of church and state keeps religious extremism at bay. Violence in the name of religion is destructive and we must have laws directed towards peace.
5. Oligarchies.
We cannot let a select few greedy businessmen rule the world. Corruption is everywhere in the political world. Contributions to political campaigns need to have caps. We need to destroy the bi-partisan system.
6.  Natural Disaster Relief.
We need to create a international group like NATO that responds to international disasters. Due to climate change disasters are increasing and we need all the help we can get. The board would also create jobs for EMT's and other emergency care workers.
7.  Homelessness.
After my first week in Gainesville i was able to give food to the homeless with the CCH Christian group of Gainesville. I was shocked to see the amount of tents and was truly touched by some of the stories the homeless had to share, We need to ensure that the homeless are being treated like normal citizens. If we created work based housing and stopped outsourcing all our jobs we could provide more opportunities for the homeless.
8. Birth Control.
Many developing countries don't have the same birth control preventatives that we have here in the U.S.A. Children are being born into poverty and overpopulated areas every day. Also many die during childbirth due to lack of proper medical care. Preventatives should be tax free exports made available to all countries.
9. Child Abuse.
Every child should be assigned a mentor at school to discuss family life. This mentor could then help prevent dangerous household incidents from happening. No child should be physically or mentally abused in the household. Having a mentor could show the warning signs of an unstable household.
10. Cancer.
We need to take the power away from the pharmaceutical companies.  Cancer is a huge moneymaking industry. Doctors should provide all solutions to patients. There needs to be a website that lists all treatment alternatives. Everyone should have access to the site much like WebMd.
