Top Ten Problems With the World In 2015

2015 hasn't been a good year at all. These are terrible things that are happening in 2015. If you want, add to Turkey's list, comment, or anything. Come on, I know you wanna vote!
The Top Ten
1 Third world problems such as malnourishment, hunger, lack of clean water, etc. aren't being addresses quickly

Right now, we're focusing more on getting a new car or getting a new Under Armour duffel bag than helping people overseas in Africa who can't even get to clean water. It's depressing to think about, and it would be a nightmare to live.

Every 5 seconds a child dies. It takes me a minute to read a page in a book. In that 60 seconds, 12 kids died. While I type this, kids die. I have a crazy idea! Stop shoving big macs in your mouth and getting obese, donate it to the starving Africans dying as we speak!

Affordable, reliable, abundant, safe, clean energy is required to solve this problem. Duh, can you say natural gas or perhaps nuclear?

It's so sad how no one cares about this - it's more important than which phone we have, or what you're wearing today - this is real life!

2 Crappy media

Well, as stated in my vent on sexual songs, there are tons of sexual songs ever since the 80's Disco era (the Disco part was added). Right now, it's becoming even more of a trend, and it's a norm to expect sex to be in a song. Not to mention the disgrace we all know as Autotune.

Try digging up some underground music. There's a lot of interesting stuff still being made. Drop me a message if you want some recommendations, Turkey.

This is why I am making a website/app where you can rate T.V. channels, radio stations, songs, movies, books etc. I think most of the people who will use it will be parents.

What's happening on celebrities life seems more important rather than to those in need.

3 Destroying our own planet

China is the leading culprit of fossil fuel burning, but the U.S. is also a big part in it. The more we burn, the bigger deserts like the Arabian, Sahara, Gobi, or Mojave grow. There will also be more water evaporating, making lakes smaller or killing them completely. Just look at the Aral.

My dad believes that global warming will always happen, but we're just quickening up the process by polluted and stuff. Is this true?

Look at the big picture people. These societal problems don't matter when there isn't a planet to have them on in the first place.

They wont fix it until judgement day. They'll regret ever being lazy

4 The Islamic State gaining more control

If you don't brainwashed by T.V. then you will love Islamic states I'm now in Islamic states in khorasan state anything is going on here is awesome but I can't change your mind... thanks for reading my comment!

Right now, they're only a few miles away from Iraq's capital, Baghdad. If they capture Iraq, they could potentially take the rest of Syria, then go for Iran. If they do the latter, the U.S. agreed we would help them keep the IS out.

No one can say that about others religion everyone believes in their own religion that is just an insult to Muslim people all around the world

As a Christian I agree. Not all Muslims are bad. You have to be really ignorant to believe that. But that's not what this is saying.

5 Drug addictions

You don't normally get addict to anything but it all depneds. There's a reason why people do drugs, drugs makes people feel good and people need to feel good because come on doesn't everybody want to feel good? And one reason why people do drugs is because they're lonley or have bad life's and that there's nothing that will comfort them like people or not even food or execrise so they'll do drugs to comfort they're lonely self's.

Yes, drugs contain nicotine, which is one of the most addictive things on Earth, but there's way to stop them. Don't take drugs in the first place. We should be using these drugs for medicinal purposes, not to get high. Ugh... the way people abuse them...

Most of the controlled drugs are in fact safe. It is an excuse of political parties to get more polices, judges and laws to control their power.

Please, I can tell at least half this site consists of pot smokers. And that's a good thing, not a bad thing. Drugs aren't a big problem in the world.

6 People allowing others to walk over them

This is a big issue today. I know a lot of people who simply don't care enough to stand up for themselves, and let themselves get bullied then try to drown it out. They need to hold themselves to a higher standard than they are.

That's why I think bullies should understand what they are doing. I get bullied myself, and trust me, it's not fun at all.

Yes I do agree that people need to stand up for them selves

7 Inequal spreading of money

Right now, the average Qatari has 300 times more money to toy with than the person living in the DRC. This means a person in Qatar may be filthy rich, but squander all the money away and not give it to the poor. The money should be spread more equally.

Thanks for reading!

It's very unfair that people with billions of money will never share their money with homeless children, woman and men.

8 Exclusion of minorities still strong

Just so everyone knows, I am not racist, but don't you think that we have changed enough? Where I live we are not separated and we are treating each other equally. I think that, in America and Canada and England at least, we are equal enough. There are some racists here and there but that doesn't mean anything, we can ignore them and be glad that we are equal.

People getting put in to ghettos because of religion race and how poor you are in America it's black people Mexicans and poor people in the ghettos and in Russia it's religis minorities

Don't you think it's interesting how almost everything on this list has been an issue for a VERY long time, not just 2015?

We're still dealing with racism, homophobia, and sexism. One person in my school had stuff thrown at her for being black. That's just wrong. And there's also a ton of gay/lesbian slurs I've heard. Although it's not directed toward me (I'm a heterosexual white male), it's still an issue to address.

9 Donald Trump Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is an American businessman, television personality, politician, and the 45th President of the United States. Born and raised in Queens, New York City, Donald J. Trump received an economics degree from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in 1968. In 1971, Donald Trump took charge of his family's real estate and construction firm, Elizabeth Trump... read more

I'm like 98% sure he only got elected because at start of it all people were "hehe, he's never gonna win, hey guys, just as a joke let's vote for him, wouldn't that be hilarious? " And then he got into the finals and those people were like "oh god, what have we done?!? "

When you see the two clowns ( Donald Trump / Hillary Clinton ) in the elections for 2016 you feel sorry for the Americans. It's like they have no choise against the majority of stupid people who praises these two clowns.

The world is going downhill.

10 Extreme overpopulation

Yes, it sounds too crowded to me.
Resources everywhere are stretched beyond the maximum; clean water nowhere to be found, fisheries devastated, rampant extinctions, rioting in the streets, disenfranchised refugees with nowhere to go, constant squabbles over territory, world governments prepared to sentence everyone to living in tents and riding bikes due to the threat of global warming. All of it could be solved in an instant [relatively speaking] with a drop in the world population to around 2 billion.

Everybody needs to understand that almost all pother problems from climate change to pollution is actually caused by this, and unless this is fixed, nothing else will work.

It's irrelevant if 1st world birth rates have gone down, because the rest of the world is spiraling out of control. Anything over 2 billion is too many.

Birth rates have gone down since the 80s for 1st world countries, I do agree with this though, the world is too crowded...

The Contenders
11 You have to be on one side or the other in politics

What about the fact that people are voting for a candidate because they believe the small half truths that they hear. And they really should be voting for what the PARTY SYSTEM stands for as a whole. Or the fact that the difference in executive (democrat) and congress (majority republican) is getting our government to go NOWHERE. And that the fact that our president is a joke to other countries and that our own citizens have little faith in the strength of our own government.

It amazes me that people are so quick to judge someone who has differing views from their own yet are so able to turn a blind eye to those who are perceived to be of the same mindset yet are doing the very same "wrong" thing others are condemned for. It's as if feelings trump rational, logical thought.

This is why I hate US politics. I happen to enjoy the world's politics, but the USA's politics are crap because the only big parties are the Democrats (extreme left) and the Republicans (right). Other minority parties are drowned out, such as the Green Party (if you're heard of them...).

That is truely injustice
You know those god damn kings only want to expand their kingdome but they don't have the balls to fight on their own so they would send people to kill the other king and the other king send people to kill that king
What the hell?
People are killing each other for nothing.
We are humans but wilder than beasts.

12 Racism

People are being racist to black people

13 Hillary Clinton Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton (born October 26, 1947) is an American politician, diplomat, and former lawyer who served as the 67th United States secretary of state from 2009 to 2013, as a United States senator representing New York from 2001 to 2009, and as first lady of the United States from 1993 to 2001 as the wife of President Bill Clinton. A member of the Democratic Party, she was the party's nominee for president in the 2016 presidential election, becoming the first woman to win a presidential nomination by a major U.S. political party; Clinton won the popular vote, but lost the Electoral College vote, thereby losing the election to Donald Trump.

This is the only real problem in this world.

What?! I think sh is awesome

She loves war

14 Hunger

Hunger is the number one problem in Africa because of over population.

15 Global Warming
16 Extremism

As for the other guy on the bottom, I feel bad for him. Man, those Muslims sure love to mess things up. Multiculturalism is most definably NOT a part of Islam.

Muslim started to restrict everything that agains they religion law, I hate this. We live in multiracial country but the claimed this is Muslim country. Now our famous celebs especialy malay are wearing hijjab because they afraid of social media fitnah (accusedd) or any sentimen about how they wearing.

17 Mass shootings

Mass shooting is a really big problem of the world.

More guns is the solution to the problem here

18 Terrorism

It is devil to humanity

Trump will fix this

19 Suicide

People are dying due to narrow-minded asses! Like, seriously, come on, respect each other! There are plenty of good things about someone, but your narrow mind, well… narrowed out the vision to see those good qualities. Come on, you can change that! Suicide is also painless, by the way. People should be nicer to one another, but remember: NEVER, NEVER, EVER GIVE UP! NEVER, EVER, EVER KILL YOURSELF! You're worth more than gold!

Certain people should kill themselves so the world can be rid of their stupidity.

20 Intolerance of other beliefs/not being religious

You know what people? I'm gonna say this right now. You don't have to respect people's beliefs but you need to respect their right to hold their beliefs. I'm not gonna change your beliefs or anything. You can believe that Jesus died for our sins all you want but am I really gonna sit there and say "Yeah man I respect the fact that you think all homosexuals should burn in hell for all eternity! " No. I think it would be stupid if you really thought that gays should burn in hell or that a talking snake told Adam and Eve that it was ok to eat a fruit that god said not to eat. Now I'm not saying that all Christians are like that, I'm saying that I can't change your opinion but that doesn't mean I have to agree with it. Like if you were to say that the earth is flat, I would not agree with that because the earth being flat sounds illogical. But I'm not gonna beat you up or do anything to you for that. I just have to accept the fact that that's what you want to believe in and I cannot ...more

Although I'm Catholic, I don't really go to church much, and weak with my faith. This makes me vulnerable to being accused of atheism, and living in the whitest, conservative community you could ever think of, it's highly frowned upon. We all need to know There isn't any correct belief, no matter how much we argue.

You're not saying that all atheists are idiots are you? I'm an atheist and I respect other people's beliefs.

I'm always preaching about stuff and people hate me for it and I'm not offending their religion

21 Female slavery

Females run the world they make us and we just abuse them whats wrong with us humans

Thank god someone is smart enough to add this. P.s. Don't forget male slavery!

Slavery in general

22 Ignorance

People say stuff like all White people cause pain and death and they all hate Black people and all black people are poor and uneducated that is ignorant

Ignorance is extremely common today. Nobody cares enough to learn facts and jump to conclusions.

23 Animal abuse

This topic has long been an issue the government isn't doing enough about

Is it just me or do everyone think that animals are better than humans

I think its just you animals are not better than humans
