Discuss the long-term effects this problem will continue to create without a comprehensive solution. The problem can be of local, national, or global scope.
2. Solutions currently implemented: Discuss how the issue has been addressed historically. Determine the courses of action taken in science, technology, political and economic systems, laws and regulations, community-based initiatives, education, and so forth.
