Social Issues of the 21st Century

Economic hardship paired with political disinformation exacerbated by social media, has led to the west tearing itself apart. Currently, as seen in America's polarised political climate, half of the populace thinks the other half are utterly reprehensible. Such a climate is not conducive to good-faith discussions. Given the interconnected and globalised nature of our world, the inevitable reality of the situation is that American social issues today, will be everyone's social issues tomorrow. Given that, this book aims to extract lessons and points of view from the American discussion on every conceivable social issue, to provide greater clarity on issues that are sure to rock politics around the world. Through a journey of pragmatism and morality, this book studies every major social issue ranging from climate change and abortion to minimum wage and cancel culture. A must-read for every teenager, young adult and retiree who cares for their homeland. Only by understanding the truths that underpin modern social dilemmas, can we as a people forge our way forward in an increasingly polarised world.
