One social problem I have encountered is poverty. When I visit Austin to see my grandma, we see homeless people living on the streets. It makes me very sad to see the amounts of people who live in poor living conditions with no shelter and little food. I would love to help homeless people and give them shelter and food they need but I can't. I believe that this is an issue that is urgent and needs to be solved. Poverty has been an issue for a long time and it needs to be helped.

A significant problem in society is poverty. I have experienced this many times because I go on vacation every year. As we are traveling, I always see a lot of homeless people around. I haven't been in that situation because my parents have very well-paying jobs. However, I know it's a large problem because of how many times I have seen it.

One of the most common social problem in society is the showing of inequality between people. Almost everyone has noticed that some people don't show equality or treat others differently based on their culture or traditions. Although, this didn’t happen to me I have seen incidents related to these in the news. I encourage people to treat everyone equally and reflect about how you would feel if you were the person going through this.

Poverty and a lack of resources in some poor countries are persistent problems in society. I have never experienced a lack of food or water, and I consider myself fortunate; however, there are those who are not as fortunate as I am. Despite my lack of experience, I have encountered a plethora of emotions within myself that make me feel bad and sorry for those who are without homes, food, and all of life's other pleasures. I've felt so many times for a mother who is unable to provide for her children, or for daughters and sons who have a strong desire for toys or books but are unable to obtain them.

One social issue is unemployment. This is when there are not enough jobs for how many people there are and it leaves people in very bad places where they don't have money and things like that. I of course have not been in situation and most likely won't be, but to many people it is a major issue.

One of the many problems in society is water pollution. Water pollution is a problem in the ocean and in our drinking water because only 2% of our water a safe to drink while the other 98% is unsafe to drink because of the salt and pollution in them. Good drinking water is needed to achieve balance in life. This topic arose when I was in eighth grade doing a topic about problems around the world and I came to a conclusion that water pollution can cause different types of pollution and diseases. I have not experienced the negative effects of water pollution because I live in Frisco where our water is heavily guarded to prevent possible pollution.

A problem in our society is children maturing younger and being exposed to bad things. I think this topic arose when social media like snapchat, instagram, and tiktok became very popular. Many parents started to give their children phones at young ages, not giving them any restrictions or guidelines. These young kids get all the social media platforms, and watch, listen, wear, and see things way too mature for them. For example when I was 10 my clothes still matched, I played with barbie dolls, played outside, and played with my friends. Now when you see a 10 year old they are wearing crop tops, makeup, and have iphones. Not only are they dressed more matured they cuss, have boyfriends, and some start to drink or vape at as early as 13 years old.

One of the biggest problems I choose within society is technology because people can use it for social media, videogames, and social media in general can sometimes not be a good thing cause you end up seeing inappropriate things you're not supposed to. It can also cause you to be very lazy people can be on social media for hours just scrolling away wasting their own valuable time. I have experienced both of these things. I used to play video games for hours and be on social media for hours but know I can focus more on myself and things I want to improve on.

A problem in society is the high poverty rate in many poor countries. I haven't experienced this, as I was born in the US to a n upper-middle class family, but being educated about people who are much less fortunate than us is heartbreaking.

A problem that maintains within society is poverty and the lack of resources in some poor countries. I have never experienced this lack of food or water, and I am more on the lucky side; however there are those who are not on the same side as I am. Though I have no experiences, I have come across countless emotions inside of myself that feel poorly and unfortunate for those that are without homes and food and all the other joys in life. There are so many times that I have felt for a mother who cannot provide for their children, or for daughters and sons with a deep wanting for toys or books, and not being able to receive those certain things.

A problem in society is a technology and how it is being used. Technology can sometimes be used to criticize other people or make people think they are not good enough. I can relate to this situation as when I was 13, I had posted a Tiktok of my family and me during Christmas as we were all in Christmas pj's. A comment had appeared from an account reporting "Your family is lowkey ugly." I didn't need to respond to this comment due to not knowing who they were or caring. People use social media platforms to put down people ( not all people ) and make fun of their life. It is not right and there is not anything people could really do about it but encourage people to be nicer. You never know what someone is going through.
