Top 5 World Problems

Most serious:
1. Global warming
2. Corruption in the government
3. World hunger
4. Global terrorism
5. Wealth disparity

Most implementable solution:
1. Corruption in the government
2. World hunger
3. Wealth disparity
4. Global warming
5. Global terrorism

For my most serious list, I had a hard time narrowing it down to the top five, because I feel like everything on that list is a huge problem. I picked global warming first because that's something that can't really be fixed on a casual basis, it has wide-reaching implications and it affects everybody. Then I picked corruption in the government because I feel like a lot of the problems underneath it could be solved if we had less corruption in the government, like the distribution of food and wealth. I put global terrorism above wealth disparity just because while it's not necessarily any more serious on a smaller scale, it has the possibility to affect more people on a wider scale.

Then, for the most implementable solutions, I wasn't sure which to pick because in some cases they all seem so far-fetched to me. Like I said above, I put corruption in the government first because I think if we repealed Citizens United Act we would see an instant decrease, which would allow the other problems to see perhaps a real solution. I picked world hunger second because in theory we have enough food to feed the world - it's just a matter of distribution. The same is true with wealth disparity. I debated between global warming and terrorism for four and five, and ended up picking global warming fourth because I think we have the policy ideas in place, just no way of feasibly implementing them with the way the government is currently running. Global terrorism is last because I don't think there's one easy solution to that problem.
