New World With New Challenges, Episode-2; Why Social Insecurity Has Become Noticeable Among People?

In today's world, social insecurity is an undeniable fact. People worldwide are struggling with insecurity—whether in terms of their economic prospects, security, or even their status in society. It appears as if the world is more fragile than ever, and even though there are many reasons contributing to it, the root causes are often interconnected.

Economic instability is one of the major causes of social insecurity. When people do not know if they will be able to work the next day or if their salaries will be enough to cover basic needs, they feel a deep sense of insecurity. The gap between the rich and the poor is still growing, and the middle class, which was once a sign of stability, is fading away. It leads to resentment, fury, and in most cases, crime and unrest. When people don't feel they have an option, they act on desperate measures.

Crime in general is another major factor of insecurity. It's not just violence on the street—cybercrime, scams, and identity theft have people feeling vulnerable even at home. The rise of digital technology has made it easier for criminals to target victims and law enforcement seems to be too slow to catch up. The irony of it is that technology was expected to simplify life and bring people closer together but has also made individuals paranoid and suspicious of one another.

Politics has also played a big role in fueling this sense of insecurity. Corruption, bad leadership, and never-ending political wrangles have caused people to lose faith in their governments. Most leaders seem to care more about power and enriching themselves rather than solving real issues in society. When people feel they are not being listened to and represented, they start thinking that the system is stacked against them. This leads to protests, social unrest, and in extreme cases, violence.

Another cause of social insecurity is discrimination and exclusion. Whether racism, sexism, or economic disparity, everyone is like an outsider in their own society. The idea of being together is being replaced by wealth, ethnic, and ideological cleavages. Instead of work together to correct things, society is more interested in finger-pointing and blame-giving.

And perhaps most overlooked of all is mental health. People are sadder, more anxious, and lonelier than at any time in history. Social media, instead of producing real relationships, causes people to feel inadequate and isolated. It's hard to feel safe when you're constantly comparing your life to other people's and wondering if you're even part of society or not.

So, how do we fix this? The truth is, there is no easy answer, but we must start somewhere. Economic prospects need to be made more accessible so that people don't feel like they're in a battle that they're going to lose. Governments must be perceived to follow through and eliminate corruption if they are to regain the people's trust. Law enforcement must focus on physical and internet security to make people feel safer in life. And foremost, society has to shift from a culture of division to a culture of inclusion. We need to rebuild communities where people feel they belong, where mental health is prioritized, and where differences are not feared but celebrated.

Social insecurity isn't a concern for some people or groups—social insecurity is everyone's issue. The more unstable society, the more at risk everyone's future. If we wish to have a world in which individuals are secure, respected, and optimistic, we must act now.

Essentially, social insecurity is a result of lack of trust—lack of trust in governments, in economic security, in safety, and even in each other. People are more alone than at any point in history, but at a moment when we can communicate instantaneously. There is anxiety and uncertainty in each day, so it is impossible to plan long-term. To circumvent this, we need more cohesive communities, fairer economic policies, and politics that place people first, not power.
