MODERN SOCIAL PROBS

Breakdown of families

The family is the most important unit in society, and today's world discourages and in some cases even degrades that idea. It is no longer deviant to have a child out of wedlock. Divorce rates are through the roof. Teenagers learn from the media to disrespect and disobey their parents. This is a major social problem.

Lust

Women especially are victims of this. It's fashionable to be immodest. It's desirable to be physically desirable, and if you're not then there's something wrong with you. Promiscuity is rampant in the media. Premarital and extra-marital sex is portrayed as okay, even normal. Lust can be more than sex, though. Lusting after possessions; In our society, everybody needs everything, and they need it now, and it doesn't matter what they do to get it. 

Idolization of Celebrities

Celebrities in our country make ridiculous amounts of money and get ridiculous amounts of attention. Everyone wants to be like someone else, and no one is content with who they are. They waste time, effort, and money obsessing over someone who doesn't even know their name. These things should be focused on helping and improving our families and communities.

Policy Making and Politics

Politics is definitely not a child's game. On the national level, at least, it's a fierce and dirty competition. A popularity competition. This means that many of the people who end up making our laws aren't there by merit, they're their because they're attractive, wealthy, and powerful. It would be better to have people making decisions and enacting policy who can understand the effects of such policies, and know the best ways to enforce them in order to benefit the country as a whole. People who are seeking for the welfare of their fellow man. 

Demoralization

There is just a general disregard for morals and values. Cheating, lying, stealing, fornicating, who cares? As long as you get what you want, everything is okay, right? Wrong. But society doesn't see that. Tell people what they want to hear, do anything you need to to get a good grade, sleep with whoever you want whenever you want. And the best part is, there's no consequences! No one needs to live by a set of rules, they're just restricting. YOLO, right? Wrong.
