Serious question...what do you think?

Question

Is this world really getting worse and dangerous these days? Could it be that it only seems to be worse than ever before because almost everyone has social media and access to the Internet so we are able to get any/all information about what is going on in our hometown and the world around us? Or is it ACTUALLY getting worse? Examples...racism, police brutality, terrorism, politics, child and animal abusers, etc.
I'm just scared knowing that I have to raise my kid in this scary world, but was it always this way and we just didn't know it because we only used to have the newspaper and television?

Answer

I think the world has always been this fucked, it's just we have social media now so we get to see it in real time .

Answer

Well in some ways yes and no. On one hand, we don't have lynchings and things of that sort happening on a daily basis like before. But I think gun violence and drugs have increased a lot. Especially violence in schools. That's increased tremendously. However, there was a lot of war, racism and sexism back then. I'd rather live through this time period than the early 1900s by far. And like the jackal said, we've improved on a lot. People now live way longer than before because of vaccines and access to medical supplies. We've advanced by a lot. Nowadays there's next to no serial killers lol which is good. The 1900s was booming with them but now it's almost impossible to get away with murder

Answer

If anything it's safer. Compare crime stats from places like New York in the 1970's to those today. There's a clear decline. We just hear about stuff way more today.

Answer

Some things probably are getting worse. I think overall there is more violence today. But some things have significantly improved too! Think of all the people who used to die of diseases that are all prevented today.

Answer

Probably a little of both

Answer

I think there's been a lot of advancements in the treatment of minority groups.

However, because a lot of macro-aggressions have been "gotten rid of" and are now frowned upon in many societies, micro-aggressions that are less easily detectable have remain. Whenever micro-aggressions are pointed out many people won't acknowledge them and instead say "but look at all the [insert macro-aggressions here] we've gotten rid of, we've move on from that, you're just trying to play victim and make an issue where there isn't one". I don't see this as much of an advancement.

Answer

Yes the world is getting worse. We are in the last days of this system so it's meant to get worse.

Answer

It kind of saddened me when my grandfather (my daughter great grandpa) now 75 told me to never have another baby in this world after my daughter. Said the world is too bad a place for such an innocent person. I can agree with the world being somewhat bad. Not in all places. I think people should still have children. They say our children will better the future. I say let's give them that opportunity to fix what we've broken.

Answer

Answer
