Current Controversial Issues of Our Day
Political and social unrest in today's world, even at a time of economic turmoil, are the next current controversial issues of our time. Most of us in the West are well aware of the economic crisis, but when it comes to political unrest and environmental issues we still have no idea where to turn to find answers.
In America today more people are becoming active in political movements, protests and civil disobedience, protesting their government, corporations and institutions for what they perceive as an abuse of power. Millions have gathered across the world to take part in demonstrations to bring attention to the causes they feel are being ignored or belittled by the governments of the world. This seemingly unpredictable event is now proving to be the most interesting topic of discussion as political unrest begins to claim more lives and cause more disruptions in society.
The most recent developments in these controversial issues include the protest against the war in Iraq, and the invasion of Afghanistan.
