I believe that the biggest problem of today is religious conflict. Conflicts between religions have been going on for many years. Each religion has different beliefs and these different beliefs cause disagreement among the people of some religions. Although not all religions have tensions between each other, it still exists among others as well. Today the U.S. has tension with some main powers in the middle east. This war isn’t based on just religion, you see in the news people in the middle east, most Muslims, who suicide with bombs attached to them in buses, stores, churches, and other places just to kill an infidel, or a non-believer of the Muslim God, Alah. These Muslims are doing this for what they believe in and don’t care about anyone else’s beliefs. Not all Muslims are the bad people that you see on the news, they are very kind and trusting people. Religious conflict has mostly to do with fighting over who’s god is better, or right. Most of the fighting in the world is over religion, for instance, in the past, World War II with Nazi Germany. There are still small groups of Nazis and skinheads that exist today who add to the religious conflict in the world, but main conflicts and tensions are in bigger main religions such as Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Catholics, etc. The tension exists in the world and there will probably always be tension unless some miracle happens where we can agree and trust one another.

I agree, I think animal poaching is a very horrible thing. Animals are, in a way, like people. They have lives that they live, have families, and have the same right to be on this earth as humans do. Animals such as chickens and cows that humans eat on a regular diet are a little different. The population of these animals is high and they will always be here for us to eat. Other animals people poach such as Elephants and Cheetahs are not as common as chickens or cows. They are rare and could be on their way to extinction. That is some countries have provided laws to protect these animals.
Starvation I don’t think is the worst thing in the world but it is bad and is an unresolved problem. In poor countries like some in Africa, There is a shortage on water food and money. The people of Africa that can not afford or find any food are very skinny and malnourished. This is very unhealthy to them. Support groups, some from certain religions, have gathered food and traveled to Africa to help the starving people, while teaching them about their religion. This is good for them because it helps them out and brings them up, by learning about God and Heaven. There should be more of these groups that are sent out to Africa to help these unfortunate people. It is a nice thing to do.
