What is the most significant challenge that society faces today?

“Climate change is a very controversial issue in the states. Some people don’t believe in it…I don’t really know what their argument is.”

People are not debating about whether climate change is real; it is real! The difference is at ‘whether it is man-made or not’. For example, theory of polar shift came out – it explains sudden climate change without human intervention. It may not be true but just one direction of the many directions to find out ‘why’; It is possible that the climate change may have very little to do with human activities. IF that’s the case, whatever we do to ‘save the world’ will be to no avail; spend time and energy to research ways to migrate people to other place may help. We should increase NASA funding instead of limit it.

“Stagnancy: Innovation being replaced by perpetuation. Nowadays, most people just follow a premeditated formula to achieve success rather than devise a new one. I believe this can be overcome by having educators pay more attention to having their students ask the right questions rather than give the right answers.”

This was what I said. Mehhhh.

Insightful. Like.

Thank you! :slight_smile:

“The rejection of intellectualism. Scientific facts are dismissed and scientists are ridiculed. Rigorous thought has been largely replaced by emotional sensationalism. The lines between fact and opinion are blurred. There are multiple factions attempting to reverse the progress that society has made over the past several decades, if not centuries.”

This is what I wrote. I hope the adcoms liked it.

“The United States must find a way to end the inequality between individuals based on their race, gender, or sexual orientation. The existence of this imbalance contradicts the very basis of the American ideal; as a country, we are to be indivisible, with liberty and justice for ALL.”

Super generic, but also true in my opinion… thoughts?
