Today I want to write something about the challenges we human beings confront nowadays.

Accompanied with the advance of modern science and technology is the public optimism about the new century. The equality of people's life is rather high. It seems hard for scientists to make positive changes in the world. However, there are many serious issues that have not been tackled yet.

One of the most significant problems is the environmental conditions deterioration caused by people's improper activities. The development of industrialisation unavoidably leads to The Greenhouse Effect and desertisation. Rapid population growth makes people lack water resources to maintain their normal lives. It is also necessary for people to protect creatures from extinction.

Disease is another problem. Many incurable diseases still exist in the world, such as AIDS. The heart attack always plays a main role of killer. Some new diseases can emerge at any time. It is a great challenge to deal with these diseases and lengthen people's lives.

Futhermore, poverty and hunger should also be emphasized. According to the survey, there are approximately one sixth of people living below the poverty line. The public should consider how to boost productivity and increase crop yields. The development of agriculture can never be ignored.

In my view, as a youth in the new era, I should assume my responsibility to help tackle these problems which demand quick solutions. When people are impressed by the benifits brought by a new technology, it is important to keep calm and eliminate its negative impacts.
