I feel the need to tell you the general situation of humanity in recent years from my point of view. I want to talk about this situation by ignoring the general problems in the geography we have lived in. We are all passengers of the same ship on this cruise. Although we are located at a distance from each other, the decisions we take as a community have an effect on each other. I see the globally existing problems as the sea water that wants to sink the ship we are involved in. Global poverty, climate change, gender discrimination etc. Many global problems actually cause us to collapse. Although they are seen as separate problems, we can see that they are actually quite interconnected problems. The consequences of the factors created by us by each global problem may have different consequences on humanity, and worst of all, these results reveal other global problems. This result may be related to climate change, as a possible migration situation that may occur due to gender discrimination will simply affect the consumption of natural resources in the regions where people are settled.
We can say that humanity wants to solve global problems with a number of methods, positively and negatively. However, we cannot say that global problems have disappeared completely today. Recently, active citizenship and world citizenship are seen as a method that will enable us to successfully solve the global problems created by humanity. The main goal of this solution method is to act as an active citizen to develop the community in which we exist and to take actions that will make the world a more livable environment. Again, some actions set out with these goals have taken their place in history. Cleaning operations were carried out in order to turn poverty environments into more livable environments and even money donations were provided to overcome poverty. However, it is not even sincere that these aids and actions are repeated unless the root of the problem is solved. In the face of these conditions, we should all be active citizens of the world and speak out in order to interpret this system and turn our decisions into a more appropriate and fair system. I think we should not waste time solving problems that will repeat themselves superficially by establishing an association and collecting donations.
I think we need to be skeptical in all areas as we exist. We must see the shortcomings of the system we are in and offer solutions as an active individual. I guarantee that we will never find ourselves alone on this road. 18% of the world population is seen as sensitive to global problems. This is not because people are indifferent to such activities, but because people don’t know how to behave.
Music is a method used in the USA. The revenues and aids obtained from the concert weeks with the participation of famous musicians were taken for these purposes. However, at the same time, users were asked to take an active role. Those who wanted to go to these concerts were asked to do some activities by them instead of buying tickets. Such as presentations, shows and entertainment to increase social awareness. In this way, we can say that the participants act towards solutions to global problems.
We are experiencing minor problems due to the geography we are in. However, if we do not see the large-scale problem, even if we solve small-scale problems, it will not make sense for us. So let’s be aware.
