Top 5 World Problems

Rank top 5 problems: 1=most serious, 5=least serious
1.       There are environmental concerns in China: acid rain, polluted drinking water, and hazardous waste.
2.       There is a water shortage in China.
3.       There has been a dependence on fossil fuels, not only in China but around the world.
4.       There is eroding trust in government leadership in China.
5.       There is an unfortunate gender imbalance in China.

Why did you select your "top problem" out of the list of five?
I selected my top problem as being the overall environmental concerns in China because all of these factors will end up accumulating to be a detrimental event for China. The polluted water and hazardous waste can eventually be the cause of life or death for many people.

Rank top 5 solutions: 1=most-possible to implement, 5=least-possible to implement
1.       One solution could be to find leaders who actually start to make changes for the people.
2.       One solution could be to install better/ more efficient outputs of power that doesn’t emit as much pollution.
3.       One solution could be to have a more social acceptance of girls in China, whether there be an incentive or not.
4.       One solution could be to find other means of reusable energy.
5.       One solution could be to install filtration across the country.

What leads you to believe that your "top solution" is really the most implementable?

I believe that finding a suitable leader is more implementable than installing filtration across the country. For one, the government just has to know what to look for in a leader and look for those exact qualities in potential candidates. Also, it would be fairly difficult to implement filtration across the country. This would take many years, if not decades.

  1. I find your blog very interesting. I think it was cool that you wrote all about China, instead of the world as a whole. It makes it easier to focus on solutions to the problems, because they're not on such a big scale. You should check out my blog!! http://principlesofent.blogspot.com/2016/01/top-5-world-problems.html

  2. Like Kayla, I thought it was interesting that you only wrote about China. It makes it easier to focus on one area of the world and try to decrease the amount of problems there than the whole world. I thought that your solutions were good, but some of them could be extremely hard to change, like solution number 3. Nobody can force people to accept people, even with incentives. I thought your take on the solutions was interesting! Check out my blog: http://rachelquispe.blogspot.com/2016/01/top-5-world-problems.html
