What would be a good top ten list of social problems worldwide?

Question

You can use one word or phrase for each of these ten. The list might start like this (Starvation, Pollution, Crime, Homelessness, War/Terrorism, .........) You complete the list. Here I am giving you five.

Thanks for the answers. This has helped me to put together a few more items for the list.

Health Issues, Natural Catastrophes, Overpopulation, Education, Corruption, Aging, Intoxication/Addiction/Abuse, Discrimination/Racism, Crime/Terrorism/Genocide, Pollution/Sanitation, Transportation, Energy, Communication,

I guess the availability of drinking water is a world issue. Health issues would include different diseases of whatever variety.

Health Issues (Sanitation/Disease/Health Care), Natural Catastrophes, Overpopulation, Education, Corruption, Aging, Intoxication/Addiction/Abuse, Discrimination/Racism, Crime/Terrorism/Genocide, Pollution/Sanitation, Transportation, Energy, Communication, Starvation, Homelessness, Water (Drinking Water and Water Pollution Issues)
