Society's Troubles

It is troubling to think that we still have to speak of issues in modern day society that have been present for decades.  Women are not completely equal.  Racism is still prevalent in our way of thinking and stereotypes. The social issue that makes me the most irritated is child abuse.  Child abuse has come to envelop child neglect and abandonment.  We rarely speak of child abuse in a school such as Mira Costa High School, but the literature we read and the world we live in still carry on this troubling issue.  I cannot relate to this issue as someone who was pampered in my childhood and was raised to be a successful citizen in modern day society, but I feel that how a child develops is important in how the person grows up and finds their path in life.  Many do not find that path, follow the paths of others, or do not attempt to find their own unique path of their own as a result of the suffering or trauma.  Child abuse is a root cause for many other social issues which is why this issue makes me the most irritated that such an issue is still existent in today's world.
