Issues We Face I have decided to do my research on the Science, Health, and Environment Issues. I have always had a strong opinion about these issues, so I wanted to research more and help others to understand them. I have been looking at a lot of different resources and I have been noticing that all of these three issues coincide together. When it comes to the science we need the explorations to find other resources and to help us find ways of possibly living in space. If we continue to have problems with pollution, global warming, and endangering wildlife we will need to know that we will be able to travel to other planets or live in orbit. Our health is affected by the environment around us, whether it is from pollution or other people. Science helps us with learning to cure the illness and ways to protect our environment. When it comes to our healthcare we have been continuing to have more health issues because of the environmental issues. We then can use the science to create medicines or new ways to stop the diseases from occurring. When it comes to healthcare I personally feel that we should have universal healthcare in the United States. Healthcare is too expensive and we as Americans put off surgeries, doctor visits, and treatments because we can’t afford them. We then are losing lives and passing illness to others more and more each day. We should think about each of these issues so that we can maybe change them. Change the way we recycle, use more efficient vehicles, and help each other in making a better world. One of the biggest issues we in America have is our healthcare. In the United States we have private health insurance, when many other countries have universal healthcare. Universal healthcare is where everyone has the same coverage and no one
