I think a lot of topics come in mind, and I don't think we should say "That is more important than this" or whatever but abortion rights is a very heated topic nowadays.

I think that the most important issue that America is facing is the social unrest. I think there's been a lack of trust in our government over the last couple of years. There have also been many protests and hate crimes happening all over the country, as well as uneasiness over the pandemic.

the most important issue in America right now, in my opinion, is inflation because a lot of things are getting very expensive to the point where some people can't afford things they need anymore.

There are a lot of important topics in America right now, but one could be the roe vs wade abortion rights topic. Also gas is expensive and pandemic issues.

The most important problem i think we are facing today is climate change. This can build up and cause horrific consequences. Due to the unnecessary use of air condition, heating, and more our community is slowly being polluted. And can be very harmful for the future generation.

The most important issue in our country is poverty. In recent years, not only has products increased in price, but also unemployment has risen. Due to the pandemic, many were unable to pay the bills which resulted to them losing their home. With food and products increasing in price, many are struggling to survive out there.

There are so many important topics in America currently, abortion rights are bring argued right now and I think that they shouldn't be. Inflation is another very important topic especially with gas prices.

Although it might not seem urgent, I think it's definitely climate change. Inflation, police brutality, racism, and everything else are big problems, yes, but climate change is something that could quite literally wipe out humans. Until politicians decide to do something big, climate change is going to continue to be a looming threat. And we can already see the effects in the more common wildfires in California, stronger hurricanes, and more extreme weather in general. If something is not done soon, the very concept of America will be a kilometer below sea level in no time (0.621371 miles, for you red-blooded Americans).

the most important issue in our country is the rising prices for most items like the most known. Gas prices.

the most important issue in america is inflation like a lot of snacks are going up in price and our school basketball jersey used to be $40 they went up to $50.

The issue in America right now is covid 19 because some people loss there job because of it and shut down so stores or comepinys so they lose their job and going there a ruff time right now and can't afford a lot of stuff right now.

I think the most important issue facing the country is Climate Change because everything is getting hotter. With summer coming up, there will probably be more days where the temperature is crazy high and that wouldn't be fun.

One of the most significant issues in America is racism. Today, many groups of people, whether it's their ethnicity, nationality, race, background, etc., are still being treated differently. It's extremely unfair that people are facing discrimination in this society.

I think the most important issue that the US is facing is money in general. For starters there's inflation and the amount of money that the government has spent/handed out might rack up a lot of debt, especially with the Ukraine crisis.

In my opinion, one of the most important issues our country is facing at the moment is inflation. Most people have probably already noticed how the prices of almost everything has gone up lately, most noticeably (at least for me), the price for gasoline and groceries. And for people our age, the price of the stuff we buy at the delis has gone up significantly.

I think that there are a lot of problems with our country and they are all equally problematic. If we don't solve the issues quick enough, our world will probably end up like the dystopian scenarios. Also, thanks to inflation, there will be one less Doritos® in your Doritos® bag.

In my opinion, one of the most important issue the country is currently facing is affordability of healthcare. Many people don't realize this but there are about 46 million Americans across the US who has trouble getting quality healthcare they need today. This happens due to low-income and the percentage of health-insurance coverage so if the government were to make health insurance more affordable, it would lift up at least one of the American's financial barriers. But if this problem was going to continue, it would only lead to more diseases and a higher percentage of poverty

the roe v wade abortion rights, people are really thinking about getting rid of a womans right with her own body with is horrible
Fariza

I think one of the main issues is corporations overstepping themselves and raising prices while lowering wages. And how they usually treat their workers badly
Anna

In my opinion abortion right now is the biggest issue in our country. Women are having their rights taken away from them, even though it's the women's body they don't even have the rights to do what they want. It really upsetting that a lot of people that want abortion illegal, are men, they aren't the ones having to go through pain when giving birth. It's important because women through years are getting more rights, but taking away their abortion rights is just repeating history.
Sarah

In my opinion there's not a most important issue that our country is facing, America is facing many important problems, like Racism, Inflation, Climate change and more. We can't really rank which problem is more important with out putting another problem aside. Therefore America faces many terrible issues that need to be fixed, none being more or less important than the other.

Theres a lot of problems the country is facing and its hard to put them in order but some of the important topics are inflation and the abortion. Inflation is causing pretty much everything to go up in price, like gas and food. Abortion is also an important issue because it's like taking away women's rights to their own bodies.

an important issue in america, in my opinion, is inflation, especially with gas prices. gas prices have increased expeditiously and people can barley afford it.

the largest issue america is currently facing is inflation. the brownies at the deli used to be 1 dollar but they made them 1.50 and i dont feel like bringing 50 cents. this needs to be taken care of soon or i will angry

Stuff at the stores are getting too expensive cause the bottle sodas use to be 1.75 and now its 2 dollars and the bacon egg and chese use the be 3 but now its 4.50 and you can buy a popeyes chicken sandwhich with 4 dollars only so now i get that instead of bacon egg and chese
Denzel

racism and inflation. These 2 are most important because racism is denying someones rights just for their race and inflation because prices are going up a lot.
Maddie

There are many issues in America at the moment. I would say two very important issues are inflation and abortion, Essentials are getting out of hand expensive and women's rights to their own body are getting taken away. It's important that we are aware of the Issues in our country so we can make an effort to fix them.

The most important issue in America right now is inflation, everything is getting more and more expensive.

I think the most important issue(s), are that pertaining to debt and inflation. Inflation is self-explanatory, prices have gone up due to varying factors that I'm not nearly qualified enough to explain. Student and medical debts to name a few are crippling a lot of younger people who for instance have just graduated college and can't find a job.
Emee
5/17/2022 08:39:36 am
America has a lot of issues and I think that they're all important and connected in a way. For example COVID, even though COVID has decreased from 2021, people are still dying because of it. On top of that, our heath care system is flawed and especially with inflation, people that don't have much money wont get the proper care they need.
Lucas
5/17/2022 08:52:22 am
I think the most important issue that we are facing is the inflation we have, because some people don't have enough money to buy something they want because the price of the thing got higher than before.
Erick F

inflation or climate change because inflation increases prices which is bad for economy and lower class people and climate change is bad for the environment and natural resources.
Jamie
5/17/2022 08:54:12 am
I think the most important issue in America right now is Covid because many people are still dying from covid with the prices for things going up.
Stanley C.
5/17/2022 08:54:38 am
Right now America one of the major problems is inflation. As new cases of Covid-19 arrive many stores continue to raise their prices on food and supplies. This is a major issue because many homeless may not be able to afford to buy these things.
sabrina

inflation is one of the most important problem out country is facing right now. due to several reasons many expenses have been going up, and many people can't afford to keep up with it.

Zi Qi
5/17/2022 09:02:52 am
I think one of the most important issues in America is probably the covid pandemic. I know America wants to move on from covid and go back to normal as quickly as possible, but honestly I don't thats going to happen anytime soon. People still don't want to wear masks and aren't trying to keep covid safe from themselves and others. At this point, it's going to take years. There are a lot of issues going on in the US currently like inflation and abortion rights, but I believe the most important issue is climate change. Sea levels are rising uncontrollably, and temperatures are getting out of hand. Moreover, it doesn't seem that people are intending to stopping their businesses and factories in order to help climate change, making it a problem that probably won't end soon, making it all the more dangerous.
Eric L

I think the most important issue in America is inflation. Many people lost their jobs due to the pandemic, and now the prices are rising. There are people who won't be able to afford food or pay rent, forcing them to become homeless.

the most important issue in America right now, in my opinion, is inflation because when i go buy food it so expansive like ever thing is like 25 cents to 1or 2 dollar more. also gas price is going out the roof like gas price back then was like 2.00$ now its like 4$,6$
Ryan L.

Inflation has become a bigger problem as of recently. With what is going on in the world, such as the Ukraine crisis and COVID, prices have gone up. An example would be the gas prices.
Annmarie Trower

In my opinion there are many issue our country is facing but most important issue to me is abortion rights. I think this because it so many people ageist abortion right who don't know the situation the woman are in but still have something to say about their body and what they should do with it.

I think the major problem is racism. It's been other 100 years since slavery and people still believe in race hierarchy, and they would hate to see other people win and they would kill them just like what happened in buffalo.
Nicole
5/18/2022 06:18:14 am
I think one of the important problems the country is facing right now is the increasing amount of attacks and shootings. For instance, the recent Brooklyn subway shooting. It’s scary because subway is a really common type of transportation and most people use it daily and knowing something like that could happen again anytime, really doesn’t leave people at ease.
Oscar Wang
5/18/2022 06:26:29 am
There are many important issues to consider in America but some more well known and recent issues are inflation; where prices are increasing, and racism; recently regarding the buffalo shooting.

One of the bigger problem in New York specifically, would be the crimes. Crimes in America, in general, have always been out of line compared to other countries, but recently in New York, it's been out of control, with the trains getting delayed every other day because of those crimes, and like its been getting even more dangerous. I think it would be a personal problem for many of us later on, especially with high school coming up. Which will definitely scare most.
Connor
5/18/2022 06:30:59 am
I feel like climate change is the biggest problem. And yes I know there are other main problems that are taking place right now but this is still an important topic. Not to mention but in the winter, IT WAS 71° DEGREES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINTER. 71°, yet people say climate change is fake even though this is a prime example of climate change. But still even though there are probably more pressing matters at hand, this is actually something that could and probably would most likely cause the extinction of the human race. And I might be slightly overexaggerating but climate change is an actual problem.

Lily

I think that one of the biggest issues in America right now is abortion. More and more laws are being put in place to make abortions illegal and taking away women's bodily autonomy, as well as making allowing the father of the child and all of his family members to sue the mother if she gets an abortion for 20,000 each. We need to make changes about this now to give women their bodily autonomy back.

America is currently facing many major problems such as Inflation, climate change,and equality issues. But I believe Inflation is one of the most important problems due to the fact our economy could crash any minute we live in due to gas prices inflating overall wars in the world causing major rises in prices.

There are a lot of pressing issues right now that divide our country. So many that it’s hard to choose just one as the “most important.” However, I believe that a crucial problem that the U.S. is currently facing is the debate about overturning Roe V. Wade. The controversy about banning abortion rights is upsetting because it feels like we’re going back to a time when women were shamed for having an abortion. If Roe V. Wade is overturned, a constitutional right will be taken. This wouldn’t only affect women today, but for generations to come as well.
Becky Liu
5/18/2022 04:12:42 pm
In my opinion, I think that the most important issue that is facing our country is racism. Covid-19 has brought up racism significantly and still today towards Asians. This problem has hurt a lot of people. There were a lot shooting going on and just a lot of hurtful things done to people. There were also people that are racist to other countries and people around the world.
Benjamin Reutens
5/18/2022 06:49:53 pm
I think America is facing a multitude of issues currently and it is hard to say which is the most important. Some of these issues include gun violence, racism and increasing hate crimes, inflation, ending abortion rights and deep political division especially after the Trump presidency. In my opinion, these issues are specific to our country while climate change is more of an issue faced by the entire world, not just America.

I think the most important issue in America right now is inflation. The is a general increase in prices and fall in the purchasing value of money.
Ryan X
5/19/2022 06:18:27 am
I think that one of the many issues in our country is food insecurity. Humans need food, a certain amount of specific foods to be fully functioning. However, due to many things but one is Covid-19, many people have been short on money and are forced to choose between their bills and food. According to the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture), "...89.5 percent of U.S holds were food secure throughout the year. The remaining 10.5 percent of households were food insecure at least some time during the year, including 3.9 percent (5.1 million households) that had very low food security." This shows that millions of American households lack the food they need. That is a lot of people not getting properly fed.

I believe that in its current state, America has many problems. One of the most prominent problems in our country at the moment is climate change. With the decline of the quality of our climate and the increase of temperature, natural resources are starting to run out and run low. With the addition of the population the world may run out of resources.
Brandon
5/19/2022 06:28:03 am

Jeffrey
5/19/2022 08:29:42 am
I think one of the most important issue we're facing is inflation . Prices of things are crazy high and everyone is affected in some. This doesn't mean that other issues are just as important such as abortion and racism.

I think that poverty and homelessness is one of the many important issues that the country faces, with the lack of income and resources to ensure sustainable livelihoods for many.
Xinye
5/19/2022 08:56:18 am
In my opinion, the most important issue facing our country is COVID because much of the issues like inflation and racism have gotten worse since the pandemic. It's been 2 years since it started and it's not getting any better right now.
jennifer
5/19/2022 09:12:21 am
i think the most important issues america is facing is inflation and abortion rights.Inflation is causing everything to raise the prices on not only food but home essentials and other items.abortion rights america has been facing since 1973,i think that they should have the right to chose if they want to but it's crazy that people are saying that abortion is a crime since it's their life,they have that choice to make.

There is a lot of issues that our country is facing, for example, racism, poverty, climate change, inflation and more. We can’t really decide which one is more important than one other because some of it can affect certain people a lot of than other, same goes for other issues. So there is no way of saying which issue is mostly affecting our country negatively because it can affect us in various way and people.
Ashley
5/19/2022 07:02:28 pm

There are so many issues facing our country right now so I feel like to conclude that one issue is more important than the other is hard. For example, a few issues in America that are very important right now are inflation, covid-19, anti-abortion laws being put in place, climate change, racism, and more.
Xavier

One of the most important issues facing our country is gun violence. After recent tragedies such as the Buffalo mass shooting at a supermarket, it is unnerving that people can't go about their daily lives (school, running errands, etc.) without risking getting killed. Mass shootings aren't the only occurrence of gun violence. Turf wars, violence among gangs over who controls a particular area, plague various cities and put people living in low-income neighborhoods in danger. In my opinion, a few ways to combat gun violence is to enforce stricter requirements to own a gun, crack down on illegal gun businesses on the black market, and throughly go through shooting threats on social media to inform those being targeted. Overall, people have been robbed of their sense of security and safety.
Gina Z.
5/20/2022 05:52:53 am
I think the most important issue America is facing at this moment is racism. I feel like racism leads to and is the cause of some of the other important issues such as hate crimes. It is a really important issue to fix but I do not think it would be fixed all of a sudden. It's not as if racism just existed now. A lot of people worked hard to eliminate racism but it still exists now. It takes time but I hope it gets fixed as soon as possible.

America is facing some very difficult challenges right now. In my opinion, one of the biggest challenges it's facing is climate change. If nothing changes, some places like Miami could sink in the next 20-30 years. It's hard to fix climate change, but if we do nothing about it, the Earth will change drastically for the worst.
Jack
5/20/2022 07:05:26 am
One of the most controversial and difficult problems the US is facing right now is gun violence. Many states and places allow guns for the regular citizens, causing problems all around the country. For ex. the Buffalo mass shooting that happened the other day. The government should implement some better regulations involving these situations.

I believe that Americas biggest issue right now is Covid-19. Covid-19 is the cause of tons of businesses shutting down, which forces the economy to take a huge hit, but did help for a year with climate change since most people didnt go outside.

The most crucial issue in America right now is inflation because a chocolate bar used to be 1 buck and today I went to the store it was 2 bucks. Why did the money double? Why are takis like $2.50 it used to be 2 bucks? I'm running out of cash. I don't think climate change is the most critical rn since most countries are also facing this.

I think right now, there are a lot of issues with America and I think they're all important so you shouldn't rank them. But if theres one issue thats very important is civil rights like abortion rights and lgbtq+ rights

I think the most important issues facing our country our climate change and civil rights. I think climate change is important because if we don't do something to stop it then we won't be able to live on our planet anymore. Civil rights is also important because people should be treated equally and have equal rights. 10/19/2022 12:16:21 pm
