If you could eliminate one of these forever, which one would it be?

Question

1. War
2. Poverty
3. Crime
4. Religion
5. Global warming

I know that some of these can be the cause of others, but which one do you believe would make the world a better place if it didn't exist anymore?

Please give a reason too if you can!

Answer 1

This is a very difficult one to answer, but I'll do my best to give you an honest opinion.

Firstly, what drives people to go to war... I'd say greed..amongst other things
What causes people to commit a crime... various things & i doubt all crime could ever be eliminated..
Religion - no, to have faith in something you can't touch or see, takes a lot of courage.. in the main, this is a good thing - so i wouldn't want to get rid of religion
global warming - this is a man made problem & one which we can still fix.


so... for me, it would have to be poverty. The world over, probably has 99% of people who do not have enough money, and yet the 1% that do, probably accounts for 99% of all wealth (I don't know the exact figure - but it seems like that at times).
I'd get rid of poverty and ensure everyone had what they needed, food, clothing, medicine, education, housing, land... there is more than enough to be able to ensure this can be shared around - we just need to show more selflessness.

Answer 2

Poverty.. Isn't that what causes the wars and crime. Religion can help sooth the soul and global warming is going to happen anyway. The earth has always changed its climates. That's why we aren't in the ice age anymore. The fact that we are hurrying it up is a bad thing but, eventually it would happen anyway.


What about disease?

Answer 3

I would remeve Global Warming, but I feel it is the only thing that might actually unite humanity for a common goal, so maybe it has it's uses.

It has to be war therefore, I would say religion, but religion usually causes war, so religion can stay, but war must go.

Answer 4

Global warming

It's gonna slowly render Earth inhabitable, with or without war and poverty

After all, Global warming is one issue that other living thing like animals and plants all goes extinct. Why should they pay the consequence of humans selfishness?

Answer 5

Well the first four really! They are the only ones we have any control over - whereby 'global warming' is for the most part a natural cycle in the lifespan of our planet.

Answer 6

Poverty, for it contributes to a lot of social (war and crime) and environmental problems (deforestation/pollution). Whilst, it is far from the sole cause of these problems, it factors a lot into the equation for many of them.

Also, by working to solve poverty, I would hope it would reduce the amount of greed in the world, thereby reducing the disparity of wealth amongst us all.

Answer 7

Crime - if you eliminated crime, you could make the rest of them illegal, then if there was no crime, you couldn't break the law and have wars, poverty, religion and add to global warming!

Answer 8
