Anti-Semitism There are many social justice issues to deal with, a huge list. They range from racism, to poverty issues to heterosexism. All these examples have been covered and discussed profusely recently, in the media and on the internet. People are very focused on these issues, and there is nothing wrong with that, those issues deserve to be brought to light, but those issues do not involve me or affect me.

They should attempt in understanding the necessities of their regime and why their regime might be struggling in social issues.

While the world has issues with immigration, health care, drugs, gun control, taxes, and so on going on in the world we forget to think about the fact that our world is facing an issue as impractical as population growth.
