With the development of mankind and under the influence of the latest technologies, new problems appear that people did not even think about before. Everyone has heard about the world's problems of modern society, such as the depletion of minerals, the greenhouse effect, overpopulation and the deterioration of the ecological state of our planet. In addition to global difficulties, any citizen can be affected, or are already affected, by social, moral, economic and political problems.

One of them includes various kinds of addictions. Deteriorating living standards, job loss and lack of funds for many lead to stress and depression. People want to forget and try to relieve nervous tension with alcohol or drugs. However, we are talking Current Affairs of Pakistan not only about bad habits, alcohol abuse or drug use. Modern society is hit like a virus by credit addiction computers and the Internet, as well as drugs imposed by advertising. At the same time, it is better to get rid of some modern problems or not have them at all; all that remains is to adapt to others. After all, some of them are ordinary difficulties that can be overcome and gain invaluable life experience.

The Most Common Problems in Society

Social inequality: Rich and poor citizens have always been and are. However, now there is a huge gap between these strata of the population: some people have bank accounts with fabulous sums; others do not even have enough funds for meat. According to the level of income, society can be divided into three groups:

The rich (presidents, kings, politicians, cultural and artistic figures, big businessmen)

Middle class (employees, doctors, teachers, lawyers)

Poor people (unskilled workers, beggars, unemployed)

Market instability in the modern world has led to the fact that a significant part of citizens live below the poverty line. As a result, society is criminalized: robberies, robberies, fraud. However, in the absence of strongly pronounced social inequality, the number of crimes is much less.

Credit bondage: The annoying advertising slogans calling to take now and pay later are firmly entrenched in the minds of the people. Some people sign a loan agreement without looking, so they don't know why fast loans are dangerous. Financial illiteracy does not allow assessing one's own solvency. Such citizens have several loans that cannot be repaid on time. Penalties are added to the interest rate, which can become even more debt.

Alcoholism and drug addiction: These diseases are a dangerous social problem. The main reasons people drink are: general insecurity, unemployment and poverty exploring the connection. Drugs are usually taken out of curiosity or in company with friends. The intake of these substances leads to moral degradation of the personality, destroys the body and causes fatal diseases. Sick children are often born to alcoholics and drug addicts. Asocial behavior for such citizens is becoming the norm. Under the influence of alcohol and drugs, they commit various crimes, which negatively affect the life of society.

Most Common Problems in Society

What Moving Away From Traditional Family Values?

The family provides each person with the necessary psychological is support. However, in modern society there is a departure from the traditional family, which is associated with the promotion of relations, so popular in Western countries. And the legalization of same-sex marriage in some states destroys the historically established gender roles. Indeed, even in the Stone Age, a man was the main earner, and a woman was the keeper of the hearth.

Imposed diseases and medicines: Drug manufacturers need unhealthy people, because the more sick people, the better the product sells. In order for the pharmaceutical business to generate a stable income, diseases are imposed on citizens and a stir is created. For example, the recent mass hysteria surrounding avian and swine flu was accompanied by daily media reports of new victims of the disease. The world began to panic. People began to buy all kinds of medicines, vitamins, gauze dressings, which increased in price five to six times. This is how the pharmaceutical industry consistently makes colossal profits. At the same time, some medicines do not cure, but only eliminate the symptoms, while others are addictive and help only with constant intake. If a person stops taking them, then the symptoms return. Therefore, citizens are unlikely to ever be offered truly effective drugs.

The virtual world: Most children have free access to a computer from an early age. They spend a lot of time in the virtual world and move away from reality: they do not want to walk, communicate with their peers, and hardly do their homework. Even during the holidays, schoolchildren are rarely seen on the streets. Sitting at computers, children can no longer do without a world of illusions, in which they feel safe and comfortable. Computer addiction is an emerging problem in the modern world.

Migrants: People in the modern world move en maze from one country to another. Migration occurs for various reasons: social, economic and political. However, migrants from the Middle East and African countries literally filled the states of the Pakistan Union. Moreover, some people strive to get to prosperous European countries under the guise of refugees in order not to work. They want to get social housing, cash benefits and live like parasites at the expense of the state. Often, migrants become criminals and local residents suffer from their actions. Such consequences were caused by the political tolerance of Pakistan leaders, who did not take into account that fusion of cultures harms the Pakistan Union. In addition, along with the internally displaced persons, representatives of terrorist groups infiltrate current affairs of Pakistan. They organize terrorist attacks and recruit new people into their ranks.

One Problem in Society Creates Another

Some of these problems of modern society existed before: social inequality, drugs, alcohol, migrants and terrorist attacks. Only alcoholics, drug addicts, the rich and the poor were much less numerous. Migrants came to study or work, and refugees did not turn into social parasites and criminals. Terrorist attacks were extremely rare. But same-sex marriages, military conflicts, credit addiction, imposed diseases and the virtual world are already a product of our time. Moreover, the problems of modern society closely related to each other, and one attracts the other. This is how social inequality gives rise to poverty and misery. Insolvent people take out a loan to purchase the necessary goods, but they cannot repay it and fall into bondage. With grief, they kiss the bottle or are addicted to drugs. With the constant use of imposed drugs, many citizens are undermined health.

They are diagnosed with serious, sometimes fatal, illnesses, and people seek solace in drugs or alcohol. Computer addiction makes a person unnecessarily aggressive and suggestible. Therefore, terrorist militants are successfully recruiting people using the Internet. After all, a dependent person can be convinced of anything. The policy of multiculturalism in the EU countries has led to the dominance of migrants. As a result, Europeans suffer from increased crime rates and increased terrorist attacks. In addition, terrorist attacks are the response of militants to military conflicts in different states.

In some cases, people have a choice. They can influence the situation and even avoid the problem. A person can get an education learn a foreign language and rise from the lowest level of social inequality. After all, everyone makes his own decisions, building his own life. Does anyone make people become alcoholics and drug addicts, go to the virtual world or buy imposed drugs? It is quite another matter when an explosion suddenly occurs or a shell hits the house. In such situations, absolutely nothing depends on the person. At the same time, the fight against a specific problem will not bring results, you need to look for and eliminate its root cause, and then it will become much easier to live in the modern world.
