Most Serious Problems
1. One of the World’s biggest problem that I
believe nowadays is a concern of almost everyone across the globe is the
individual-financial security. We have to understand that nowadays there is
people who are experts on computers and computer networks, but who are also
experts on exploiting weaknesses among any people around the world. In other
words, these people are able to gain access to your online bank account (and
other personal information too) and they are able to do transactions using your
personal information. This type of “new criminal era” is a threat to consider for the entire world.
Why?
This is happening because there is a lack
of control in terms of computer network and basically everyone is vulnerable to
be a victim of a hacker attack. I believe this a great opportunity for an
entrepreneur to use the knowledge of computer networks to protect and guarantee
security to every individual, for example provide a software focused on
providing a complete range of security to every individual.
v
The
reason why I chose this problem as the most serious problem is because I
believe it is threatening the entire world and almost every single person in
the world is vulnerable of being a victim of a fraud or a hacker attack. Even though
there are different ways people can avoid this hazard, those are very limited.
Another reason why I believe this is a serious problem is because I believe
that finding the solution for this threat could bring great and positive consequences,
not only for the world as a society, but also for the entrepreneurs who develop
an idea/solution.
2.
Another main issue for the global concern are
the different climate events that are changing our day to day living in a
certain way. Within the climate change, the seasons change too and we have to
be aware of that.
Why?
There are different theories about the reason why climate change is
happening nowadays. Some people think it’s a natural process that occurs on the
earth naturally and we are not participating on this phenomenon. Other people
believe that the past century, since the industrial revolution up-to-date, the
different activities that contributed to pollution are the key factors that
contributed to the climate change. However, I believe that this is a good
opportunity for entrepreneurs to find ways or new product that would protect
the world from contributing to the climate change. For example, develop engines
that don’t pollute the air while they are running.
3.
Given the globalized world in which we live
nowadays and in comparison to previous decade, there has been a decrease on
racism among the individuals of the world. However, it is one of the main
reasons that originate violence among many societies around the world, and it
is without any doubt one of the major concerns that should bring the attention
of the world’s society.
Why?
I believe that the issue of racism has been
within the human beings since the first days of our history. However, I believe
that it is time for us to realize that we are all the same no matter the color of
our skin or our language. Entrepreneurs can use their tools to help people that
suffer from racism by helping them to fit within a different society and/or
country. For example, create an organization based on global society who
collaborate people that are going through discrimination based on racism.
4.
One concern that I believe is intimidating the
well-being of many people around the world are the yearly events and attacks
originated by terrorism, where the only truly damaged people are the families
that lose their loved ones only because an ideological difference.
Why?
I believe that these problems have the base on ideological difference which
leads to hate and anger, which finally arrives to horrific events. I believe
that terrorism is one of the most outstanding defects that humanity has and I
believe that entrepreneurs should use their knowledge and resources to try to
stop this events. For example, entrepreneurs can develop new forms of security
and/or use the knowledge of computer networks to fight against terrorism.
5.
I believe that an important issue that has to be
resolved in many countries around the world are the drought events that are
threatening the water resource for millions of people.
Why?
The reason why this is happening is due
exclusively to the climate change effects on the earth. Entrepreneurs should
focus on innovation that can protect water from the effects of climate change.
For example, entrepreneurs can create artificial lakes or water sources beneath
the earth that are protected from any climate event that may reduce the water
amount, such as the drought.
Least Serious
6.
Another global concern that I believe everyone
should be aware of is the situation of Africa. Even though there has been a
clear development on specific countries in this continent, there is a clear
poverty situation among the majority of African people, where some of the most harmful
diseases originate.
Why?
I believe that the world as a whole has never contributed to Africa, in
fact, the world has exploited Africa and its people to the point where it is
now the poorest continent that exists on earth. I believe that Africa and all
the countries that countries that compose it seek for the help of entrepreneurs
and I think it is a great opportunity for us to finally contribute such a
harmed society. For example, entrepreneurs can attract investors to invest on
the country which at the end improves the economy of the region.
7.
One major concern that I believe is affecting
millions of people and will continue to affect them is the global financial
crisis, which since the middle of 2007 and 2008 has affected not only specific
group of people, but it has also damaged entire countries and communities
financially.
Why?
The financial crisis of 2008 and the
depression of 1929 are economic crisis that originate after a series of events
that impact the world’s society negatively. I believe that economic crisis are key
opportunities for entrepreneurs to try to develop new aids or solutions for the
people that suffer from the crisis. For example, entrepreneurs can create new
job opportunities or financial assistance to help people manage their resources
in the best way possible.
8.
Another global concern is contamination. As the
global population rises every year, the accumulation of waste and trash is
increasing drastically. I believe that this issue is a clear opportunity for
entrepreneurs to look at and develop possible solutions.
Why?
Contamination happens because the number of people living on earth is
increasing, which finally generates more waste. Contamination is without any
doubt one of the major opportunities for entrepreneurs to develop a new
business plan or strategy that could help either stop or reduce contamination.
Build more and new recycling machines and build alternative instrument that
replace the ones that are contaminating the environment.
9.
I believe that a not so influential concern in
the present, but a major concern for the future is the development of nuclear
science and its relationship with technology, which at the end can result on
the creation of new type of weapon that is and will be a significant threat
among the global citizens now and in the future.
Why?
Since the creation of the nuclear bomb in the mid 1900’s, the nuclear
science along with technology have worked together to create more damaging
weapons that are a significant threat for the world’s society. I believe that
entrepreneurs should focus not on contributing to the creation of these
weapons, but they should invest their knowledge on working with technology and
nuclear science for other purposes which are focused on bringing innovation and
that can also help the humanity in a certain way.
10.
One of the most significant global concern that
originated years ago and that is still affecting people of Africa is the food
and agriculture crisis. This issue has even worsen the drastic conditions in
which the majority of Africa’s society lives and I believe is a great
opportunity for the entrepreneurs of the world to look for possible solutions.
Why?
The agriculture and food crisis in Africa is a clear example of how drastic
the situation in Africa is. The food crisis in Africa is a clear example of a
great opportunity for entrepreneurs to develop new solutions for a continent in
danger. Entrepreneurs can develop new and better ways to generate the required
food supply for the population in Africa. This may include new way to grow
corps, etc.
Top 5 Solutions from most-possible to implement to
least-possible to implement
1.
The issue
of not being exposed and vulnerable to threats regarding the individual
financial security.
There is people that are being attacked
financially as they are being hacked by people who have knowledge about
computer networks who are not focusing their knowledge for positive
contributions. In fact, I believe that this is happening because there is a
lack of control in terms of computer network and basically everyone is
vulnerable to be a victim of a hacker attack. I believe this a great
opportunity for an entrepreneur to use the knowledge of computer networks to
protect and guarantee security to every individual, for example provide a
software focused on providing a complete range of security to every individual.
A class that teaches how to protect yourself from these attacks can also be
implemented in high school or in college so in that way the young people would
know how to act against this threat.
v
I believe
that this is the top solution because I think that the technology and the
resources are there and it is just our responsibility to apply our knowledge
and develop a new system where people feel safe and live in peace knowing that
they and their money are safe.
2.
California
is not the only one being affected.
The drought in California has being one of
the most severe of all years. The reason of the drought is due exclusively to
the climate change effects on the earth. But I believe this is one of the most
significant opportunities that the entrepreneurs would have in the following
years. Entrepreneurs should focus on innovation that can protect water from the
effects of climate change. For example, entrepreneurs can create artificial
lakes or water sources beneath the earth that are protected from any climate
event that may reduce the water amount, such as the drought. I believe that
other states such as Florida should see this as an opportunity of developing
their agriculture sector in order to meet with the shortage of demand that the
drought in California is originating.
3.
Climate
change is an issue that has to be resolved.
There are different theories about the reason
why climate change is happening nowadays. Some people think it’s a natural
process that occurs on the earth naturally and we are not participating on this
phenomenon. Other people believe that the past century, since the industrial
revolution up-to-date, the different activities that contributed to pollution
are the key factors that contributed to the climate change. However, I believe
that this is a good opportunity for entrepreneurs to find ways or new product
that would protect the world from contributing to the climate change. For
example, develop engines that don’t pollute the air while they are running.
Another solution could be based on developing machines focused on system that
could do the reverse of polluting. In other words, entrepreneurs should think
on developing an engine or a machine based on the process of not only not contaminating
the air, but actually do the complete opposite and clean the polluted air.
4.
We are all
the same. I believe that the issue of racism has been within the human
beings since the first days of our history. However, I believe that it is time
for us to realize that we are all the same no matter the color of our skin or
our language. Entrepreneurs can use their tools to help people that suffer from
racism by helping them to fit within a different society and/or country. For
example, create an organization based on global society who collaborate people
that are going through discrimination based on racism.
5.
Let’s stop
terrorism for God’s sake!
I believe that these problems have the base on ideological difference which
leads to hate and anger, and which finally arrives to horrific events. I
believe that terrorism is one of the most outstanding defects that humanity has
and I believe that entrepreneurs should use their knowledge and resources to
try to stop this events. For example, entrepreneurs can develop new forms of
security and/or use the knowledge of computer networks to fight against
terrorism.
