Question

What global problem do you think is the most pressing, and why? Global issues might include agricultural, technological, health, environmental, social, psychological, economic, or other problems.

Answer 1

The world is globalized now and it is interconnected. The global trade and economies are interdependent on each other, so we have a company that have a headquarters in the US and its manufacturing could be in China while back-office and IT development in India. There are so many problems in the global scenario that includes economic slowdown, social inequality and health issues.

However, the most serious problem is the environment. The years of deforestation and extraction of the natural resources has disastrous consequences for all of us. The rising temperature of the planet and change in climate is affecting the crop production. The encroachment in the natural habitats of the animals and forests means we are destabilizing the nature and its food chain equilibrium.

Malthus has rightly pointed out that the human population grows geometrically but the means subsistence grows in the arithmetic manner. This creates an imbalance and the natures will create famine, earthquake,flood or pandemic to create the balance in the nature. The nature is clearly having burden and without moral restraint by human beings it will surely strike. The human beings can live on low income or without car for daily use but they can not live without food or water or air.
The environmental problem is real and it is the most dangerous right now because it could affect our species.
