World Problem

One problem that i think affects the world is greed. Greed is one of the roots of all fighting in the world. If their was no greed in people then nobody would be compelled to kill their neighbor because he wants to claim his neighbors property. Their would be no reason to rob someone walking down the street. As soon as we put a value on something their is going to be somebody who wants it. This isn't a problem unless their is not enough of that now valued item, even if just one person doesn't have one over time jealousy will spawn .

 At this point people start t argue about who is the owner or who gets to use this item. Disputes like this as you probably know if not handled in the right way can escalate into something much more. Soon their will be groups that are oppressed that will want to be treated fairly. One example of this is in America after slavery was abolished African Americans still did not have the same rights as the Caucasian citizens did. So in that case the valued possession would be rights. To combat the oppression the African Americans protested so that they could be treated equally. The only possible way that i can conceive to stop greed would be to take all worldly possessions and return human beings to a state of nature. I do not think this is possible but it would be nice
