Problems

In today’s world, we have to face many problems, challenges, and problems all at the same time. One of these terrifying and intriguing issues is our safety and security across United States and the planet in general. There are many different types of this as well, like terrorism, violence, conflict, gun violence, and more. The list goes on and on.

Civil Conflicts play a huge role in this whole safety and security problem that we have today. According to http://www.theconversation.com, “Civil wars last many years longer on average than inter-state conflicts.” The Syrian Conflict, a civil conflict, was the world’s most bloody this year. “It has claimed the lives of over an estimate of 210,000 people so far” (www.theconversation.com). Another act that puts people’s safety in danger is terrorism. “In fact acts of terrorism killed 32,658 in 2014 – roughly nine times more people were killed in terrorist attacks than in 2000.” (www.newsecuritybeat.org) So, this can definitely put a lot of fear into people and question ours and the whole world’s security and safety towards others.

Another act of danger that puts our security and safety in jeopardy is Organised Crime. A country that especially stands out in this category is Mexico. “Certain parts of Mexico, such as Acapulco, have some of the highest murder rates in the world at more than 100 per 100,000 civilians.” ( http://www.safetmanagement.com) As you can see, obviously Organised Crime is a major problem as well as the others. Finally, Small Arms. You here something about people being killed by guns pretty much weekly around the U.S. alone, which is terrible. “In the US in 2015 there were more than 50,000 injuries sustained in domestic gun violence alone and 12,666 deaths.” ( http://www.classcentral.com) Too many deaths are produced by this, while people should not even be getting there hands on these in the first place. “Meanwhile Europe was rudely awoken to the risks of loose weapons control by the Paris attacks of November 13, when a number of attackers rampaged through the French capital carrying assault rifle killing 130 people.” (www.coursera.org )
