Have you ever thought that what are the basic problems that world is facing and which are responsible for destruction of world? I hope your answer will be yes but if no don’t worry.

Here you will go through 5 most critical problems faced by world.

According to the large part of world population the climate change is the biggest problem faced by the world and that is right. According to a survey conducted by millennials 48.8% of people in the survey claims that climate change is their biggest concern and 78% are willing to change their lifestyle to protect the environment.

The people aged between 18 to 35 are most concerned about global issues and they are determined to tackle them.

CLIMATIC CHANGE / ENVIRONMENTAL DESTRUCTION

As discussed earlier over 48% people said that the environmental destruction is their main concern. They were also asked about the main reason behind the environmental destruction. In the response over 91% people agree with the statement that “human is the main reason behind environmental destruction”.

CONFLICTS AND WARS



The structure of expectations depends on the balance of power between countries. However, the balance may change over time, and exacerbate socio-cultural differences and dysfunctions, producing inconsistent expectations. Without this contradiction between two countries, there will not be a state of conflict. There will be no anti-foreign riots or demonstrations, tension, friction and coldness in relationships.

According to the survey almost 39% of the participant voted that large scale conflicts and wars is the second biggest problem faced by the world. Many world countries spend major part of their GDP on defense. So they are not able to look at other issues like education and health.

INEQUALITY (INCOME DISCRIMINATION)

The third biggest problem faced by the world is inequality. The income gap between the top and bottom earners is getting bigger and bigger in the world.

On a global level, income inequality is extreme by any measure, with the richest 1 percent of people in the world receiving as much as the bottom 56 percent in the early 21st century. About 31% of the participant claims that inequality is the third biggest problem that world is facing. Income inequality is much greater in US than the other developed countries. In 2014, the richest 1 percent received 22 percent of total income, and the top 10 percent of U.S. households received about 60 percent of total income.

POVERTY

I think that poverty is the biggest problem that world is facing. Poverty leads towards the issues like illness, hunger, and poor sanitation. These three problems leads to thousands of other basic problems. About 36% of the world population lived in extreme poverty. Nearly half the population in developing countries lived in less than $1.25 a day. These figures show increase in less developed countries. Over 805 million people worldwide do not have enough food to eat. Approximately 1.6 billion population has no access to electricity.

The World Food Programme says, “The poor are hungry and their hunger traps them in poverty.” Hunger is the number one cause of death in the world, killing more than HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis combined.

RELIGIOUS CONFLICTS

Still today most violent conflicts contain religious elements linked with ethno-national, economic, territorial, cultural and other issues. According to the people participated in the survey about 24% people term religious conflicts as the 5th biggest problem in the world.

The increase in religious violence is global and affects every religious group. A 2018 Minority Rights Group report says that the mass killings and atrocities are increasing countries both affected and not affected by war alike. The countries lies in Europe and Asia are more affected by religious conflicts.
