1. Children/Family Issues
Like America, German children are expected to be respectful. However, they are not as respectful as kids in my area. They can use explicit language around adults more, and also (at least during school) talk during the teacher's lecture. There are child labor laws.
2. Educational Achievement
School is harder than America's, depending on which type of school you go to. If you go to a Gymnasium, it will be harder than most American public schools. Some problems that German's have are too many kids wanting to go to into a Gymnasium, wanting a career switch in the middle of childhood, or simple academic problems.
3. Racial/Class/Ethnicity Issues
There are a lot of Turkish and Persians that have immigrated to Germany, and so there are many people in Germany who have a prejudice- you might even call it racist- against Turks/Arabs. This causes strife in the community.
4. The Environment
A major environmental issue right now is the e. coli breakout in Germany. This has caused an incredible economic and environmental problem in Germany, because countries have stopped buying vegetables from Germany and also hospitals are getting overrun with sick people.
5. Health Issues
A huge health problem is the rise of obesity (like the rest of the world) and also the e. coli breakout. Heart problems are common in Germany because of their diet. The e. coli has caused major strife and worry in hospitals and in people's hearts.
