The current global policies embodies in all economic, defense, environmental,
and humanitarian disputes. In these critical moments, the United States priority should
focus on improving these concerns. On the Economic stance, the U.S is in dire need to
reconstruct the middle class, by finding a more productive approach to create jobs both
suitable for the working and middle class. Due to the rise of technology and the
movement of corporate manufacture jobs overseas, the amount of decent jobs in America
have become scarce. The administrations position is to bring jobs back to able the
American citizens by amending laws that pressures big corporations to bring jobs back to
middle class America. Todays economic problems cascade with a high unemployment
rate of 6%. Another issue is the current low minimum wage, which led many Americans
to protest for a minimum wage increase. In addition, is the unequal pay rate amongst men
and women in the work force, Work qualifications should not only be limited to person
based on a biased standard that men possess better work ethics than women. Qualified
positions should be offered to persons, regardless of race and gender that is best suitable
for the job. A major economic hindrance is that low percentiles of wealthy Americans do
not pay enough taxes. With this breach in our economy fixed, America may finally
restore its middle class and rise back up in the global platform.
Presently, there is undoubtedly a high increase of illegal immigrants crossing
the border into U.S soil. The U.S lack of defense on border patrol and immigration

policies has led to more than 56,000 illegal children alone passing through the United
States border. To ease this problem we need to tighten our borders and limit the amount
of illegal immigrants that are forcefully fleeting to American soil. In addition, the United
States should not be involved in every worldly matter; at times its better to let other
nations sort out their domestic conflicts as they allow the U.S to situate theirs. Rather
they should set a standard for global diplomacy while practicing and advocating world
peace. Dealing with the current issues involving ISIS in Iraq and Syria, the U.S have been
through enough wars within the last decade and should take a different approach in
dealing with the matter. Former President George W Bush Jr. and its administration was
criticized for the massive deployment of American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan
during his term, a more defensive approach would be a better alternative for the Obama
administration and refrain from sending troops overseas. This approach saves both
innocent civilians in Syria and Iraq as well as limit the unnecessary deployment of
soldiers.
Global warming is a serious global issue, which results into drastic climate
change. The government needs to enforce harsher environmental law to better improve it.
Global warming is problematic nowadays; the air is polluted altogether by the harmful
toxins consumed daily by American citizens.
Humanitarian issues effect people all over the world. United States and United Nation
can work together and create ways to gain ground on these issues. With its role as the
world police, the U.S need to create more effective humanitarian law that tackle global
concerns such as, civil war, poverty, homelessness, world hunger, health care, women
rights, gay rights. Humanitarian should improve the world by creating jobs, preventing

poverty, homelessness world hunger and any other ethical problems that might hinder the
journey to world peace. Healthcare should be a humanitarian issue; the wealthy should
pay higher taxes for medical expensive just as Canada, Australia and many countries in
Europe have exemplified for its citizens. United States should not force their opinion on
countries that have conflict or overstep on their issues. Before jumping into conclusion
we should set a standards for diplomacy. United Nation and United States should set laws
to contribute to these issues and make the world a better place.
