The most important 'Global Issue'..

When we talk about the most important global issue, according to me Education is of utmost importance. As we know that there is a difference in being educated and being literate, therefore a serious series of steps are required to eliminate the illiteracy at all and maximum possible higher education.

There are a number of issues in front of whole world, but if we look at the root cause of all these problems, lack of education comes out to be its main factor.
According to me when a person is uneducated then his dimension of thinking is limited or up-to what he saw around himself. They do not investigate what was said or told to them. And, hence they are not able to take the decision by themselves.

If we talk about a poor family who can not afford education for their children (as it seems another burden for them), the situation goes much more critical. When the children of an uneducated family gets matured, they follow what their elders taught them.. either it would be seen as right or wrong . To some extent, it is not their fault; actually they are not able to differentiate in this.

Often it is said that its poverty which leads to the generation of other problems. But in my point of view it is not true altogether. Yes, on the first step, a poor person needs free education or subsidized higher education. But as soon as, they get educated; they learn how to earn.. And this will automatically diminish the poverty.

The other global issues like health-care, racism, global-warming, human rights, terrorism etc. remain unfamiliar until and unless anyone is able to fulfill his basic necessities. And this could be very well understood by the Maslow’s Need Hierarchy theory. Although, education directly did not resolve any of the global issues but it introduces the correct way to solve them.
