1. The social changes the new constitution will carry.

2. The U. S embargo.

3. The generational transition.

Explanation:

1. Cuba is preparing to roll out a new constitution that has been in the works for years now, this one brings changes of all kinds to the political system. Questioning old beliefs and structures like setting up the foundations for private businesses, something that can create either a positive or negative outcome.

2. The U. S embargo is not a new problem, but it has had a huge economic impact in Cuba and still does. It is important to notice it was an initiative "to bring about hunger, desperation and the overthrow of the Cuban government."

3. The change in a generation is a challenge since the new generation has grown in a completely different context, with access to the internet with high employment rates, free education and healthcare, cheap food and housing, and a good transportation system. So they might not understand the historical context of the revolution and the struggle.
