The world problem's is such a large topic and has so many things that could be improved upon or changed, so I thought I would base this post on the subject of my last posting which was education, or rather lack there of.
In an ideal world, everyone would be educated and everyone would have a job and be able to support themselves, but we don't live in an ideal world, we live in the real thing. It would be simple to say, just send every child to school for free, but it isn't that simple. It would solve a lot of huge problems such as poverty, because people would be informed and be aware of how to make their own decisions and therefore decide things such as voting and being able to stand up for their rights, especially when they are wronged. As of right now, it is not possible to put every uneducated person in school, because there are not enough schools, and uneducated adults and children are working to attempt to provide for their families. It also doesn't help if previous generations in a family didn't go to school before because future generations will not know that education is the better path and they will just continue doing what their family has been doing for several generations. They will start working from about 12 years old, making maybe $10/hour, as opposed to if they had educated themselves, they could have had a much higher paying job, ten years down the road. Yes, maybe at the time a certain family may be struggling, but if it doesn't make a difference having their child work after school, then they should be doing that, because it will help in the long run.
Although creating education for everyone would be a strenuous and time consuming task, it is definitely possible. It is possible to build more schools. It is possible to have more forms of education. It is possible to lower tuition. It is possible to create a better world for ourselves and those around us.
