Most Important Problem Facing Humanity I voted political corruption because a lot of the problems listed could be caused by it. For example, nuclear weapons are misused under corrupt political leaders (although it is debated if there is a correct use for them at all) and corrupt politicians can also plunge us into poverty and start dangerous wars. Miscommunication is also one of the main causes of war in my opinion. When everyone is telling you a different truth, it is difficult to come to your own conclusion as you can often unconsciously take their view into consideration. If poor upkeep of heavily populated areas is contributed to by political leaders, it can lead to epidemics. I think terrorism will always be there, in some way or another, although I am continuing to theorize about that. It seems that the best leaders are the ones that do not desire to be in a position of power in the first place. Either way, after humanity decides on one way to destroy our existence, the world moves on, the sun will always rise and set, and the Earth will meet its end, as all living things do.
