Despite the fact that humanity in the XXI century is developing by leaps and bounds, and claims to be the development of other planets, it still has unresolved global problems.Philosophy considers them together with the processes occurring in the economy, politics and other areas of human activity.
global status got some problems due to the fact that they affect virtually the entire population of the Earth and could face the death of an entire civilization.
Global problems of modern philosophy is also considering the historical perspective, often the problem is not solved for many centuries.Wars and their consequences have been and, unfortunately, will be, as there are ambitions and the desire to earn money.The same can be said about food shortages.Unstable weather conditions, war, political and economic crises at all times affect the food supply.In today's world, with a fairly high level of production of 7 billion people from hunger only 1 billion, and the rest do not regularly eats.Another problem that existed a century - is illiteracy.Earlier the government of any country "not to bother" of the matter.The urgency of this problem was due to scientific and technical progress.It turned out to work in the factories, we need a skilled workforce.Industrialized countries bother about it, but a third world country and have not won illiteracy.
Some global problems of modern philosophy believes have a product of our time.By the end of the XX century came the realization that natural resources are not infinite, they require careful treatment to yourself.Is acute environmental problems.The rapid growth of industry, the uncontrolled use of mineral fertilizers - all this led to what are deteriorating large areas of agricultural land.Chemical and oil processing plants pollute rivers and streams with fresh water.A large number of waste, radioactive and chemical waste - is also a huge problem.Do not add optimism and an increase in population.It grows mainly in countries with poorly developed economies, where 75% of the population - is the age of 35-40 years.He also something we must do.
Climate change impacts on the planet and we have cosmic bodies (solar activity and the threat of falling of large meteorites and asteroids) - is also the global challenges of our time.The philosophy marks a change of human consciousness under the influence of a credible threat.Perhaps this is why waiting for the end of the world has adopted a grand scale.
So where is the search for solutions to global problems?First, the state and humanity as a whole have to learn to negotiate with each other.The history of mankind - a history of wars.Second, the industry should, finally, be safe for the environment.But developed countries are obliged to help the third world countries, where problems of ecology do not think at all.Economic development and education programs can help in the regulation of the population in disadvantaged countries.
But solutions to the global problems of today may well remain just beginning, is in the first place will be craving to get quick profits and the desire of some countries to control the world economy and politics.
