    There are so many world issues out there. Come on, man, think for two minutes.

    One suggestion I would made is overpopulation. Look up Thomas Malthus, he's the social scientist who predicted a world as we live in now two hundred years ago, predicting that our population would start to grow exponentially, and as it did, all the evils of humanity, greed, poverty, hunger, war, crime, violence, would escalate as well. Consider the 20th century, the bloodiest century in all of human history, and also the century where the world population exploded from just one billion people in the early 19th century to seven billion people now. Every problem we face today has worsened because there's more people to contend with. Unemployment? It's because there's too many people in the work force, and companies can't keep up with demand for jobs. Crime? It's because you have more kids than ever with too much free time on their hands, and a police system from the 1950's that can't handle them. Starvation? The US gives more and more food aid to countries around the world every year, yet, for many reasons, we haven't put much of a dent in world hunger, largely because there are more and more mouths to feed, and only so much land in Nebraska to plant corn.

    That would be a world issue to write an essay on. Overpopulation. How have the numbers grown? What does it mean to society? What measures are being taken to halt it? The Chinese have adopted draconian laws to try to curb their population by limiting families to one child, and strict punishment for more than one. Will abortion become more accepted as a means for population control? At what point will we see the sort of horrors from science fiction films, with massive world wars and hundreds of millions killed?
