Let me just start with how I view our current society and its global issues. There are a mast of amount of daily issues Americans and myself deal with. From buying over priced grocery items to obeying laws that are questionable. I understand also from a political stand point on to why these valuable firm rules are ingrained. Knowing today and where our economic scale lies. Its truly outstanding to comprehend the changes. My views may be bias compared to yours but this is just my opinion based text.
My first concept I will propose to you is the cost of living. The fairness between low to high income families is non existent. There is no "meeting in the middle". It is nearly black and white. I believe the biggest factor that places into this issue; is the wage that is given upon employers. It does not match the necessary requirements of living even modestly. I think for my own opinion that it is dreadful. It is dreadful for myself to work a major amount to afford the cost of living. I cannot say anything for the higher class because I cant relate on their standpoint.
My second idea I will provide to you is the outstanding amount of people dying from addiction. I cant tell you how big this crisis is around all over the US. According to a second party website, there were over 100,000 deaths from illicit drugs in 2024. I believe their needs to be less judgement portrayed from non addicts. This is not a humorous matter, more of a matter of life or death. I believe their should be more resources than just rehabilitation. I think there should be more harm reduction centers. As well as a peer to peer support. In which they have both gone through the same issue; and don't want to feel alone in the same circumstance.
So now you see what my point of view is. Let me give you my third opinion. All so dandy right, here it is. Homelessness around the country is a leading effect of many potential reasons. You see many men and women holding signs or begging for food or money. I think now since our world is so modernized. There should be more options for homeless people provided. Not just homeless shelters or soup kitchens. I think there should be charitable therapeutic groups or sessions. Their should be more empathy but also more understanding with maybe what caused homelessness. Its a topic of such concern for many years.
My fourth concern in today's world is the leading cause of mental health issues. Some people wont understand what having "Bipolar" or "Depression" feels like. We see a common theme here right. We see judgement and comparison. I can continue with this; mental health is a leading effect of childhood issues and can lead to troublesome addictions. I believe now we are in the 25th century and there should be more understanding in this problem. I can't say there is no help with this issue. There are so many resources out there that can provide care. I agree with the concept of empathizing with those who suffer from it.
My fifth idea that I came up with is environmental control and weather effects. We see now the US is going through an immense amount of issues with this topic. We see California is one of them, the control of the fires were inevitable. It was impossible to control such an event. I believe there needs to be more of a safety precautionary team. Also I see where they did well in this but I also see where they lacked. There needs to be more supplies and rescue for these problems. Also how about Florida and there terrible weather couple months ago. There is no control in these events but residents take action. I think the aftermath needs more distinct direction. We cannot control mother nature but we can take precautions and know what to do after. I cant say there isn't a total failure with how US handles environmental and weather issues but it does need work. Knowing our up to date technology we can semi predict what may happen.
So now you see my point right? You may or may not agree with these propositions but they are valid. These are daily, weekly, monthly, yearly problems that US deals with. I hope when I gave my ideas that it gives more validity to what society needs to improve on. I laugh that we focus on stupidity rather than fixing our main problems. My main point given in this article is to share awareness on what should be focused on. As I said earlier, your point of view may be different and that is normal. I empathize with your stand point.
To conclude, I believe there are more than just these issues right now. But these are some of many. I hope society can value normalizing issues and fix them as they happen versus judge. Comparison and judgement will kill your joy. So if you see a issue you dont agree with, stand on it.
