What is a global problem?

Classes today worked on creating a definition for a global problem. Here's what we came up with:

A global problem...
....affects all countries
....affects all living and non-living things
....is a problem that finding a solution ASAP is in the best interest of the global population.

After creating a definition, students worked in groups to brainstorm responses to the following questions about one of three top three global problems (Global Warming, HIV/AIDS and War).

1. What does this problem include (what are the affects of this problem)?
2. What are possible solutions for this problem?
3. What biology knowledge do you need to address this problem?
