When considering what the focal point of World issues should be, I realized that attempting to summarize the endless continuum of social anomalies was something that nobody should even consider. Not because it is impossible but that once one problem is rectified, another will soon supplant the former in priority and necessity. This cycle would more than likely be analogical to attempting to the cartoons where the character of primary focus is in a boat filling with water through multiple holes located around the inner perimeter of the boat. This character attempts to plug the leaking holes with fingers but because the character cannot plug all holes at once, each hole shifts in importance as the boat takes on more water. This renders each effort virtually futile. I digress.
Typically, when covering World issues, there are a few characters that seemingly refuse to change. These characters are hunger, pollution, wild life, human rights and poverty. How to approach a situation where the people with the power and privilege to initiate a change are incapable of improving the very lives they personally lead simply due their arrogance? Where education is rarely cherished and competitive comparisons determine whether you live or die financially simply due to pedigree. Yes, where is your family from.
So, to the thought of World issues and how to solve them, I say that there is no way to solve a World issue without first improving self to a level of awareness that the small obstacles don't block progress to a bigger stage with bigger obstacles.
"All that is necessary to make the World a better place is for you to make yourself a better you."
