It's between overpopulation and hatred. And the answer to solving both of them lies with education.

For individuals right now, I think that the most serious problems that they face is the fact that there have been a lot of job losses and also decreases in the the value of what they own. The best way to deal with this kind of problem is to embrace your inner entreprenuer and try to start a business of your own. Yes, it will be difficult at first, but in the long run, you will be much better for taking these steps when you had the opportunity to do so.

It is the lack of concern for other people. Because we don't care for one another that we do things that would only satisfy ourselves like to earn money, we would sacrifice the forest and seas and will not think of the effects to other people. If we could only have genuine concern for one another, surely all other negative things will also be eradicated.

Man, is the most serious problem facing the earth right now. Until we humans stop taking as fact that the earth is here for us and our needs we will soon out run the basic needs of our life form.

Lack of love and self esteem are the biggest problems in the world. From this lack stem wars and terrorism and an ‘every man for himself’ attitude. Hatred, resentment and lack of care for one another and our planet have created all man made disasters in our world. All humans need is to be loved and valued and, sadly there are entire races that feel they lack basic human worth and I believe it is the cause of the majority of this world’s problems.

I feel the main problem is negative thinking. people are filled with negative thoughts. They always say i cant do this. I cant do that. Only if i was rich only if i had money. They dont want to thnak GOD for the things they have. But they will always think og getting more without thanking for what they have.

I think wars and terrorism are the most serious issues at the moment, and have been for centuries already. I am not sure what to do about it, it is a really old problem that does not seem to be solved no matter how much people try, which is really tragic.

Aside from what they already said, population is also one of the biggest problems we have. And technological/industrial progress. We are progressing TOO fast. We need to slowdown.
