1. Homelessness-A lot of Americans are uninformed about homelessness and tend to judge homeless people's situations rather than try to understand their situations. Thankfully Villanova has Hunger and Homelessness Awareness week to bring attention to the situation.
2. Obesity-On average, Americans are among the most obese people in the world. We have a ton of fast food and are more concerned about convenience than health. Our school systems are starting to become more concerned with their students' health by enforcing healthier choices in the cafeteria and physical education requirements.
3. The Education- There is a lot of inequality among the different schools systems. For example, within a ten mile radius of Villanova's Campus, there are schools in West Philadelphia that are corrupt and they don't receive the education they deserve. The township Villanova is in, Radnor, has great schools because it is in an area with a better socio-economic status. American teachers also don't receive enough pay for their jobs.
