The most common language spoken in Liberia is English. The country was originally settled by freed black slaves from America and got its start economically from rubber production. Major problems include unsafe water conditions that often cause sickness and a lack of doctors, with only 3 per 100,000 people. Proposed solutions involve putting up warning signs about the water and paying doctors more to increase that profession within Liberia. The author's final plan is to ask neighboring countries for help in exchange for Liberia's resources or through forming alliances.
