What would you consider to be some of the major world and global crisis and castrophies that we have today?

I think it depends. If it was only the wealth of individuals & families, like Bill Gates, the Waltons (Wal Mart), Oprah & the British Royal Family, Everyone would probably be working poor level-one paycheck from disaster. If it was governments & institutions as well, like Saudi Arabia, the US and the Vatican, we'd probably be moderately well off. I read somewhere once that if the Vatican liquidated (and assuming they had the same income they have now), they could support South America FOREVER.\n\nThis was an interesting question, and I like your kitty.

The world! Seriously, though, if you spend time to think about the different aspects of society and the world, you get confused!

I think there is a new world coming, I call it the future. I don't know if it will be better or worse than the world we have now. Bush will be out of office soon; that's one bright spot. I'm inclined to think it will be worse simply because there will be more people around in the future, and that can only spell trouble. As for what I'm doing to make it better...not much. I am trying not curse around children as often, I guess that's something.

How about self loathing:\nLiberal side: All problems in the world are due to america and america must do whatever it can to satisfy the whole world.\n\nconservative: America is great and is doing great things in the world.  If people dislike us, it's not because of us, it's more than likely their problem.

Yup, the rest of the world is OUT THERE.  My advice to you is to stay home and watch it all unravel on your favorite cable news channel.

great human philosophy..leave every problem behind the borders and then the problem doesn't exist anymore. when is this world gonna realise that we have global issues, and we all need to deal with them??\n\n(a dutch guy living in romania)

Probably alternative fuels.  It would be nice to spend some research and get some other sources to diversify risk.  Right now, if the Middle East embargoes oil, we would be sunk.  If we had other sources, it wouldn't be as big of a deal.

You forgot to mention ignoring the aids crisis, starting a war on drugs that brought us many problems we have today, closing mental hospitals and driving up the number of homeless people.\n\nOh Reaganomics, ridiculous tax cuts that Bush Sr had to repeal.

Absolutely yes.  We are really a global community now, and we all have a responsibility to the entire world on matters of that nature.

I am concerned about the issues in the whole world.

Those are very different questions.\n\nThe first I'd say WWI, the widescale adoption of the automobile, the general rise of automation and the decline of small-plot agriculture, the great depression, the new deal, and WWII.\n\nThe second I'd say probably the loosening of immigration restictions, the exodus from Europe preceeding the two world wars, and the rise of the united states as a world superpower.
