The Things I Would Like to Change in The Modern World

I believe none of this can be achieved unless everyone starts doing something about it. There are different types of violence in schools. Bullying, corporal punishment, attacks on school, physical fight are just some of them. Every school says there is no bullying in their school and we all know it is not true. They like to make their school look as good and the best for your child as much they can. Half of the teenage students are a victim of peer violence as known as bullying on a regular basis. Corporal punishment in schools sends a very strong message to students that the violence is acceptable in schools which by the way is not. The punishment can sometimes not physically but mentally leave a scar so deep that it stays with the student for the rest of their lives. Attacks on schools are the one of the sixth grave violence in today’s world. It all builds up in the mind of the attacker it never happens that one day the attacker snapped and it happened. It doesn’t matter what kind of school violence is the worst, it all needs to stop period. You are a Muslim, oh that automatically makes you a terrorist. What! you are gay, no that is not acceptable in Christianity. There are a lot of laws that are supposed to protect you from religious discrimination but do they?

Well no. People are using religious to as an excuse to discrimination against and hurting people. Everybody has their own right to their own religious beliefs but not everyone follows that. Some of the cases are people being fired from religious based facilities and workplaces they practice another religious, LGBT people not allowed in churches, being forced to work on your religious holiday, and many more. There was a time in my life where i was ashamed to admit that I am a Muslim because of how other students and teachers will treat me, not anymore though. I believe we need accept the others regardless of what religious they practice or what kind of beliefs do they have. Social media connects people and it helps in many other ways too but it also comes with a negative side. Some of the disadvantages of social media are Cyberbullying, Lack of social skills, too much time consumption, loss of privacy and the Sexual predators lurking around the corner. Many people have suffered because of cyberbullying. Social media cities are a platform that makes it so much easy for one to target someone by easily post something that can may be take someone’s life. People don’t think twice before posting embarrassing photos, a nasty comment, starting a fake rumor, or sending intimidating message that can ruin someone’s life.

Loss of privacy is a very serious misuse of social media. Everything you put out there can be seen by everybody to anybody. Many people put something that they have reported at one point and wish they can take back but it is not that easy as erasing something you have written on a piece of paper. Whatever is put out for the doesn’t always ends up in good hands. It can used for illegal activities and many more worse things. Sexual predators are always looking for any kind of personal information you put out for them like your phone number or a scandalous picture.

Snapchat can be very addicting trust me, the time people spend on those sites can be used for something more productive. People are more interested in what the Kardashians are doing rather than knowing what their siblings are up to. Social media sites have also created a distance between people. Young people are more comfortable talking to someone from behind their computers and phones and it is very awkward for them to talk to people in front of their face. Religious discrimination to Violence in schools to Misuse of Social media, each one of these have a effect on the life that is seen through my eyes. These three are some of biggest and worst issues of the today’s world. They can only be resolved if everyone in the world put a smallest of small effort to help put a stop at these.
