"Some say the picture is too offensive to share online or print in our newspapers. But what I find offensive is that drowned children are washing up on our shorelines, when more could have been done to prevent their deaths." - Peter Bouckaert

Alcohol and drugs

erik_dahlstrom_student_karlstad — 2015-09-18 10:40:16 UTC

Drugs and alcohol are a big problem for the society, and the ones who cant control are more likely to commit crimes. And the ones who are addicted to drugs or alcohol and don't have the money to pay for it are very likely to commit crimes to get their hands on drugs or alcohol. The ones that have money are likely to spend all off their money for their addiction and can end up on the streets.

Many people that live in developed countries have certain ideas about how things should without questioning where it came from. And when things do not measure up to these standards they complain without giving a second thought about the people who worked for it feel. For example there are many factories in India which developed countries control, yet we complain about the indian products. All the while we polute the air and poison their rivers.

Double standards

2015-09-18 10:41:29 UTC

People aren't allowed to look like they want to, because they get judged for it and even hated on. For an example: Boys not being allowed to wear high heels and skirts, while a girl wearing it is fully normal . A girl being a housewife is okay while a guy being a housewife is criticized and called things like pussy and wuss. A boy walking around without a shirt is okay, but a girl doing the same thing is not.

Being boyish is good, while being girly is bad, why should it be like this?

Judged by apperance

2015-09-18 10:41:30 UTC

People judge others by apperance. This effects people because they can't be themselves. They feel like they are always being judged. A humans race, religion, body shape, facial shape shouldn't limit a person.

Immigration/Reciving refugees

lukas_engstrom_student_karlstad — 2015-09-18 10:41:42 UTC

People being selfish and not thinking about other people in need.

Mental Health

2015-09-18 10:43:09 UTC

"You are still full of life even if you feel you have been broken open and poured out and carelessly stitched, stitched, stitched, stitched back together. There is plenty of life between the seams even the ones that run all the way through you. _____________________________________ It's impossible to make statistics about how many teens today that are self-harming. Most self-harming situations happens secretly, and they keep it secretly. You can't prove that someone self-harms themselves but from my experience, I know a lot of people who self-harm. Or who has been self-harming. And I think it needs to stop. People

Racism towards religions

2015-09-18 10:44:14 UTC

Dont judge somone by their belief (religion) because every human can believe in what they want to believe in.

LGBTQ - Rights

2015-09-18 10:46:22 UTC

All people shod be able to be hove they are and love the person you love

The media

2015-09-18 10:48:03 UTC

The media effects our lives and makes certain people look more attractive and other not. For example:

being skinny is good and being fat is bad. This has started to change for there are many things like campaigns for beauty in all sizes and there are pulse-size models these days, but it's still a big problem.

LGBTQ

hanne_adolfson_student_karlstad — 2015-09-18 10:50:44 UTC

The shaming of people who are lgbtq have survived many generations, resulting in shame,secrecy and suppression.In later years it has started to be more accepted but there is still not enough.

Hate crimes

Everyone is equal!

2015-09-18 10:52:40 UTC

everone deserves to feel comfortable, have a roof under their head, feel safe and accepted. Everyone should live in a safe place no matter whar beliefs they have.

Equality and preconcieved ideas

2015-09-18 10:53:33 UTC

People have been talking about how everyone is equal. Yet people still show some level of prejudice the moment you tell them where you come from or how you are Because people refuse to accept that changes can happen.

Judging

2015-09-18 10:54:08 UTC

Judging somone you dont know is a really disrecpectfull thing to do especially when they are not that kind of person.

Trying to stop the war.

2015-09-18 10:54:38 UTC

We in Sweden produce wapens, sending them to Syria and then talk about the terrible war i Syria.

Prejudice

2015-09-18 10:55:08 UTC

Sometimes we assume things about people even though they're not in the main spotlight. They're in the background but we still give ourself's a warning on how to approach them from the start.

This movie wasn't about the judging and treatment of the gay couple, but the runaway kid they had to take in. He's just any ordinary kid, but as soon they know second hand about his path they immidetily judged him.

Rapes

2015-09-18 10:55:34 UTC

In Sweden the laws about rape are really weak and should be stronger but nothing has happened. People are raped and the questions usually asked if it is a girl that was attacked is:

what were you wearing?

What time was it?

had you been drinking?

it is absurd to be asked what you were wearing, but they still ask.

When it comes to boy being raped people usually do not believe it.

Rape is never okay!

2015-09-18 10:57:33 UTC

the law in Sweden does not support the victims as much as it should be. Every girl or woman that has been raped deserves to make abortion and get help. Those girls/womans sgould get the help they need to recover from a traumatic experience that wasn't even their fault.

Lack of water

2015-09-18 10:57:44 UTC

Polluted water kills more people every year then war even tho it's hard to know exactly how many people dies ever year. But we do know that 1,5 million kids die every year in lack of clean water. Lack of water also causes lack of food and different crops that are need of water to be produced. This usually affect the poorer countries because they often don't have the money to clean the water. Lack of water also starts wars around the world like in America and Mexico.

Racism

erik_dahlstrom_student_karlstad — 2015-09-18 10:57:52 UTC

Specially in the USA it's a lot of problem with racism. There are a lot of cases when police use to much violence then necessary just because it's a black man or woman. And in the justice system there are a lot of problem with the jury just says that a person is guilty just because it is a black person.

Poverty

2015-09-18 10:58:34 UTC

People who are poor are often mistreated because of there looks! for example if they look poor they get mistreated and if they look rich they get more respected.

police brutality against black people in America

2015-09-18 10:59:36 UTC

Many black people are treated bad by the police in America

LGBT aren't the only letters

2015-09-18 10:59:49 UTC

Many forget that there are more to sexuality, gender and romance than the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transsexual. It's all a spectrum, so if someone fall outside of the 'normal' you shouldn't shun them.

War

lukas_engstrom_student_karlstad — 2015-09-18 11:00:29 UTC

People fighting and killing each other when there is smarter ways to solve problems.

Wrong way to stop rape.

2015-09-18 11:01:39 UTC

You gotta tell your daughters to not be out late at night to protect them from rape

-NO, you gotta learn your sons whats right and wrong.

Some look at the problem from wrong perspective. We should ńt limit the women's because of a a men problem.

#Blacklivesmatter

2015-09-18 11:01:59 UTC

In US the black population has been through much racism just because of their skin color and people should stand up more for the black people and support them. Racism is never ok.

Female objectification

2015-09-18 11:02:40 UTC

When media supports rape through advertisement and when women's bodies aren't their own any more, we've gone beyond what's okay.

Bribery and greed

2015-09-18 11:03:04 UTC

There have been many cases where people and sometimes even entire groups of people have been bought out to support someone else's cause. For example stockbrokers have been caught steeling many millions from different people and ruining the life for thousands.

Police brutality

2015-09-18 11:04:41 UTC

A problem that's ever present, but has been booming in America as of lately, policemen shooting and beating down black people and lgbt women are NOT okay.

Starving

2015-09-18 11:06:08 UTC

Around 11 % of the worlds population is starving 2012-4. No one should eat a meal without knowing when the next time you going to eat is.

Stereotypes and prejudice

2015-09-18 11:06:13 UTC

People judge other people for their hobbies and likes.

Like Otakus. "Perves or too childish." Bronies, "Pedophiles or homosexual."

stereotypes

hanne_adolfson_student_karlstad — 2015-09-18 11:07:07 UTC

giving kids already when they're born the idea that they should be a certain way depnding on what's between their legs.

War in the middle east

2015-09-18 11:20:41 UTC

stereotypes

2015-09-18 11:24:01 UTC

There are some very stupid stereotypes that can support racism for example

"All muslims are terrorists"

"Asian people are bad drivers"

"white people are racist"

"black people are stupid"
