what does society mean to you? Who is society? is helping solve the problems of society everyone's job, or no one's job? What role would you hope to play? There are many problems right now in the society. Some of these problems can be easily solved, or can be impossible to solve depending how bad it is. Many people think these problems should be solved by the governments, since they are in charge. But we can also solve these problems if we get together. . Too often, individuals pass off that responsibility with the hope that others will pick up the slack. it is everyone's obligation to help solve the problems because everyone has a stake in society. Not enough people see the whole picture when it comes to society's problems. If something hurts the society, it hurts the individual. For example, we are missing the lack of respect for ourselves and others, the environment is slowly fading away. A person who has self respect for him or hers respects others. Respect comes in many different ways. It can be from how one person is taught as growing, earned or derived from family members. As a society we can be pre-judgmental when we see a person disrespect him or herself we assume that they might not have a good role model or live in a positive environment. The more a person values him or her, the more that person knows that they are worth something. The more the person listens to themselves feelings and opinions, the more they know that they are worth something. Self-respect is an important value because its absence reduces self-confidence. Having self respect for one self and others will lead to a successful positive life. What about respect for others? Society has placed a set of rules in which people must follow, whether or not you like these rules they must be followed or you will suffer. Society has placed a set of rules for people by simply how you approach yourself to society. This exposes people to be judged and makes people feel uncomfortable. We can all be guilty of telling someone what to do or telling someone you cannot do something. Take a look at our environment, how can we make changes if we are slowly destroying it. We blame one another for everything that happened while we are all responsible.
