Hey Pandas, What’s Something You Think Is Ruining Society? (Closed)

CEO’s hoarding billions of dollars that will most likely never even be close to being spent.

Three words. Religion in politics.

the russian government. no further explanation needed.

Putin he’s causing war in Ukraine

Society itself.

The rich are getting richer and are above the law because they pay politicians to pass laws that benefit them. Somebody accuses them of a serious crime like rape? Just pay them off and they'll go away. If they won't take a bung, pay someone to make it look like a suicide.

Consumerism is out of control. Almost £1000 for a phone that doesn't do much more than a £100 phone. And people pay it. Why do they pay it? As a status symbol. Nothing more, nothing less. I find so repulsive and shallow, always trying to have the most expensive of everything. Shoes that cost thousands. Is it because they are comfier than cheaper shoes? Hell no. They are heels. They are the least comfortable thing you could put on your feet! The answer is, it's because they are expensive and people want other people to know how much they have spent, just on shoes. That's why Louboutins are so desirable - the red sole gives them away to anyone that cares. Then there's planned obsolescence. Don't get me started on that.

A few quick ones to finish: Big pharma, propaganda led 'state-of-fear' politics, animal cruelty, 'trickle down' economics, high profit = low pay, prejudice, war, murder, rape, abuse, intolerance, self-service tills, selfishness, housing, famine, drought, narcissism, mental health support...

Most, if not all of the problems and threats that humanity faces are caused by society itself.

We could solve world hunger if we wanted to.
We could solve homelessness, poverty, drought.

It's not that we can't. It's that we just don't want to.
And that's why I have chosen society.

Thanks for reading.

Not very original, but racism.

Social media. And how big business avoids paying taxes and only recently are being made to work towards being more sustainable, while the consumer is shamed for not separating their wastes well enough like that's the core of the problem.

HOMOPHOBES

Indoctrination replacing education. Young people should be taught how to question, not told what to think/believe.

Beauty Standards. At this point 10 year olds are trying to look like the fking Kardashians. Like no-

Social Media, Worshiping Influencers, and Idolizing reality tv stars like the Kardashians.

Facts being mistaken for opinions and vice versa. Science/sensibility being discarded for emotionss/sensitivity.

Discrimination

The rift between the one per cent at the top of the food chain and the rest getting bigger by the minute AND legislation/taxation AIDING in that.

Exploiting the environment for financial gain with "Creating jobs here!" being a valid excuse.

Social Media. It has poisoned my generation and completely shattered the one growing up with it now. Everything is artificial, nothing is genuine and self-worth is measured in comparison to the image others paint of themselves. This will be the downfall of modern society.

"Alternative facts"

There is no such thing.

Lack of empathy....it is a ME ME ME culture now-a-days,What happened to US ?

Selfishness and greed. We could accomplish so much as a species if we helped eachother or didnt squabble over the simplest things.

not trying to be that guy but tiktok. Granted, some of it's funny and creative but all the other stuff is just messed up. I hope it dies with this generation

"Influencers", Tik Tok challenges etc

Society being ruled by status.

This is my first year in middle school, and until now I didn't know how much people cared about fame and/or popularity. It seems that just because you wear the most expensive clothes or shoes, or you're great at sports, you're automatically admitted into a higher status than most people.

If there's one thing I've learned about status, is that it has nothing to do with enjoying life. I am not popular at ALL. But me and my friends are getting by just fine. I love my friends, even though we aren't popular.

Just because we aren't famous, or because we may be a bit weird, or because we aren't good at sports, that doesn't make us bad people. Status is ruining friendships and relationships. All I'm saying is that if you happen to be popular at school, good for you. Just don't become arrogant and selfish. And to those who aren't, you don't need a high status to live a happy life.

Thanks for reading, and f*ck society.

Corporations that create the most waste and pollution, and our government that allows them to keep doing it.
