What's Wrong With Our Society?

You would think that after thousands of years, mankind would have evolved a bit more, eh? But nope, still conflicts, wars, crimes, etc.

Just hope that little boy ends up with a loving family.

Personally I think we should get some hard laws back. And I am talking about REALLY HARD laws. I'll leave it that way, otherwise people will call me crazy.

Why would anyone think that anything is wrong with society? Hmmm...

If you're a student of history, things are actually much better than in the past. Humanity is still a "teenager" in many ways, but we've finally gotten out of the sandbox. I've been reading some of the early American biographies of slaves (as background research for a short story) -- stories of children being sold out of their mothers' arms are heartwrenching.

It was not unusual in earlier times to sell children for sex -- in all societies. Many of them would be sold to brothels (boys and girls) and many died from abuse at such places. There were special "houses" that catered to those who liked to be very rough with their victims.

Take a look at the laws on the books sometime and realize that ALL of those were put into effect because someone did something horrible and society said "enough." And 400 years ago, the father selling the little boy would NOT be against any laws.

This is such a sad story, it almost left me speechless.

When I see such stories, I dont know how to react: your question is really thought-provoking, but I cant point what s wrong with the society (is it individualism? the economy? drugs?). I guess in the end its up to us to treat the people around us with love and care, if we all do maybe one day we will be able to wake up without having to read one of these terrible headlines.

Thanks and all the best,

The first thing we can do is to do exactly what you did - share the story. We need everyone to know about the horrors that are going on in our world.

as others have pointed out, such evil has always existed in our world, as we as a species are still primitive we will never be free of it, it's baked into our DNA. Just generally with all the new fangled lights it gets pushed to the dark cracks unless it makes the evening news.

That said things are markedly better in many ways than in the past. When is the last time you saw someone impaled on your way into the city? stoned to death for going against a parents wishes? ..or even died in a "civilized" duel for ones honor, or rotting on the street from some plague/hunger etc. Like in that monty python skit "bring out your dead.. but I'm not dead yet! *thump* "

A better world is something to strive for. Just that betterness never reaches people when they are strung out on meth. Take a look at the "faces of meth" sometime on how far that particular drug will suck the life out you.

I think there is nothing wrong about the society the problem is inside the home or within the family.

If you ask me, the devil run the world, there are millions of purely evil minds in this world. I seriously believe these people out here had their minds possessed by demons with some of the stuff I here.

With the corruption of humanity comes distressing news as this.

It's a wicked (and I mean wicked in the true sense of the word) scenario and a desperately pathetic parent.

These things are very disturbing to say the least, and I think the best solution is for good people to remain good people, and therefore from the light of those who shine the dark will eventually die.

We may never get rid of such despicable acts, but we can continue creating a better world by loving our kids, wives, husbands, friends, neighbors...

This, I believe, is the core of the progressive societies of the world. The ones who love their children and this then is passed on from generation to generation.

As soon as we take hate, cruelty, crime, abuse, war, insanity, greed, disrespect...out of music, movies, books, radio, conversation, social media, schools...the sooner we get to rid such degeneration from our world.

The solution is to address the root of problems instead of the symptoms. All we do in society is wait for something bad to happen and then try to scramble and put a band-aid on it.

Nowadays, people tends to return to their animalistic side, as what we have read from papers, magazines and saw on TV, they became more and more cruel to their fellow humans as well as to the animals. Probably, I can mention some examples can be seen in youtube, wherein people are torturing other people and animals, and you can see in their face that they are in excruciating pain but the "sadistic" just keeps on smiling in what they are doing.

I totally support the idea of imposing "Hard Laws" on these kinds of people, since they need to be taught on how painful it is that they are doing. People, who are caught on the act, should punish severely to make them realize that what they are doing is very painful. Laws that restricts to no one, everyone are equal to the punishment they would received.

There are two types of law. Objective Law and Subjective Law.

Objective Law is ten commandments type stuff; don't murder, don't steal, etc. Black and white basic law.

Subjective Law is different. It is the your are not allowed to read this book law, you are not allowed to ingest this substance, you can't buy liquor on Sunday, and so on. Laws that are purely subjective.

When you mix the two laws you then have Corrupt Law. We need to build a society that is purely based on objective law only. The Constitution was a great start but it is missing something.

When we have a society built with only objective laws, we won't have the evil and disgusting problems that we now see on a daily basis.

There has never been more evil now than in the time past, o.k? As long as there is selfishness and greed as human nature evil will continue to be in existence until the redemption of all things. However, if we must change our society for good, then we must first change ourselves. If you and I can change within us, then where is the evil without?

I think that the society has been like the way it is from time in memorial. The difference between now and then is that we have more people on the planet than then.

Competition for Resources has driven communities into wars,crime, and people doing unimaginable things to their fellow human beings.

But if you are keen enough, it is resources they are after which are scarcer by the day.

Unless we figure out a way to produce enough for everybody and to maintain a sustainable population growth, then we are in for more trouble.

Without vision the people perish.

Well! we can only pray for him and many other like him around the world. Certainly society should play its role alongside respective governments.

Ya! its miserable. I do not know what kind of people are doing this. What happen to the world? Are people waiting for horrible revenge from our creator?

Even the people in this forum use softer language and more "upstanding" terms to express their distaste for this monstrosity. I, on the other hand, will not.

This is an outrage, and both the seller of the child and the abusers deserve to be tortured and maimed for a prolonged period of time, until death finally sweeps over them. There's a reason I don't watch the news or read a newspaper, as it only serves to remind me that loathsome filth like these people exist somewhere in the world.

Have you seen "Law Abiding Citizen"? If you haven't, then you should, if only to give you an idea of how every single one of this child's tormentors deserves to suffer and die. Brutally, horribly, and with the news of it spread far and wide to show that THIS is the punishment for committing such a travesty.

If nothing else, people like this deserve a swift hatchet to the brain.

I hope from the bottom of my heart that this little boy will one day be in the arms of a loving, caring, and understanding family, and that all of the criminals responsible for what he went through rot in Hell for all eternity.

A minor point of solace here is that males tend to get over rape much more easily than females, as has been explained to me from a psychiatrist I personally know. Boys more often are able to "let things go" and realize that it wasn't their fault. The victim, whether he be an adult or child, often doesn't feel like they had something taken from them, as most females tend to do, which is why many female rape victims participate in several years of therapy just to "let go".

Here's another interesting study. Most female rape victims, if they could do ONE thing to their attackers, it would be to castrate them... as for males... death is a much more common and satisfying option, one which I truly agree upon.

Events like these tend to make my blood boil, and make me deeply pine for something of a vigilante to help properly execute scum like this.

Where's the Punisher when you need him?

I think Charles Darwin was right while say that the animals that cannot fit in the ecosystem cannot survive, they will die. And I think its time to root out the people who do not show humanity towards others. Our laws should be tightened to protect the rights of every individual and the law enforcers should do their jobs effectively.

I think that society as a whole, or humans as a whole have always been screwed up. THe ying and the yang, dark vs light, good vs evil. This has always been part of human nature and the universe. Will it ever be solved probably not. Does it suck of course it does.

This world is dependent on 2 things-- your personal action, and how it can affect the lives of others around you. This is how you create change in the world. You can offset the evils of this world by helping others.

For example, when the boy grows up, he will need special guidance so that he grows up well and moves on from the traumatic experience.

It takes a whole village to raise one boy, tis a true saying.

Do your part, be kind, and help everyone out! That way, the world gets better, and you get better, and then you can help even more people! Help out others warriors on WF! Don't get into petty arguments with other warriors.

People are always out of their mind. No one is willing to listen to others, no one wants to give way. Everybody believes that they know everything and what they are doing are right all the time.

nothing wrong with our society , but there are some black marks in our society , have to remove them to make our society more cleaner.
