4. TECHNOLOGY

5. 1 Contamination of
Natural Resources
Due to the advancement in
technology, pollution of our
environment and natural
resources has become very
rampant; oil spillages, ozone
depletion, deforestation,
chemical spillages, etc. The
cost of modernization to our
environment is hazardous

6. 2 Radiation
The increase in technology has led to
the increase of radiation exposure to
humans, via smart phones, laptops,
television screens, radioactive power
plants, military weapons test, nuclear
wars, etc. Which has led to increase in
several diseases; all cancers, non-
malignant thyroid nodular disease,
parathyroid adenoma, posterior
subcapsular cataracts, tumors of the
brain and central nervous system, etc..

7. Peer Pressure3
Due to the introduction of
the internet; peer pressure
has become more versatile
and broad, ranging from
cyber bullying to drug abuse;
because a friend posted a
picture using drugs at a
party, fear of being isolated,
and “not fitting in” can cause
a teen or even a child to
yield to these suggestions.

8. Pornography4
• Every second of every day
millions of people are viewing
porn.
• Over a third of internet
downloads are porn related.
• 25 percent of all internet
searches are related to porn.

and casteism materials online
• Hacking and Cybercrimes
have become popular
• Being distant from family due
to constant online activity

10. Gender Modification6
• The advancement in
technology has provided
the means whereby people
can change their gender at
will.
• Implants and extra body
features, most people now
add extra body features
(mostly animal)

11. Inadequate
Adaptation
7
As technology advances, so
our ability to adapt to it. For
most of us, our parents were
not around when technology
was a thing, so most of them
are still used to the ways of
the past, not realising the
potentials of the modern era.

12. laziness8
The advancement in technology has made sitting more
prominent, most of our daily tasks/activities has been
taken care of by; Uber, Google, Wikipedia, Taskrabbit, etc.
But sitting for prolonged hours has costly effects;
• Studies have linked excessive sitting with being
overweight, and obese, type 2 diabetes, some types of
cancer, and early death
• An average adult who spends six hours a day watching
Tv over a course of a lifetime can expect to live 4.8 years
fewer.
• Sitting for long periods is thought to slow metabolism,
which affects the body’s ability to regulate blood sugar,
blood pressure, and break down body fat.

404 ERROR: GOD NOT FOUND9
• That’s where the Internet comes in. In the 1980s,
Internet use was essentially zero, but in 2010, 53
percent of the population spent two hours per week
online and 25 percent surfed for more than 7 hours.
This increase closely matches the decrease in
religious affiliation. In fact, it can account for about 25
percent of the drop the number of people with a
religious upbringing in the United States. (Research done
in 2014)
Technology has become “God” in the lives of
various individuals, people claiming there is no
God, and scientists trying to prove the “non-
existence” of God.

14. • Roughly 127 people have been killed via selfies since
2014
You have to be wary of the things you put out into the world,
(especially publicly) because everyone in the world then has
access to it. In a world ruled by digital communication,
posting the wrong status update can actually be fatal.
Social media deaths are caused by a number of
differing circumstances. Something as simple as a
relationship status change on Facebook, or cat-fishing gone
unbelievably awry, could then lead to real murderers finding
their next victim online.

15. • Most women use 12 products a
day. Exposing them selves to more
than 126 chemicals a day.
TOXIC MAKEUP11

https://www.annmariegianni.com/toxic-chemicals-
in-makeup-industry/
If makeup is a part of your daily routine,
it’s vital to think about what you’re putting
on your skin. Your pores absorb what you
put on them.
• Did you know that a woman consumes
almost 7 pounds of lipstick in her
lifetime. Most of it whenever she eats
or drinks, that’s like having a meal with
a side of petrolatum and synthetic
dyes! Or that the eyeliner you use to
tightline could get transferred into your
eyes and potentially cause cancer.

16. SOCIAL

17. PUT SOME CLOTHS ON1
Our modernization has changed the way
designers see fashion, revealing dresses are
now a fixation.
• Dresses in our age have become more open and
short than what it was 50 to 100 years ago.
Skimpy has been confused with style, beauty,
and fashion.

18. FORNICATION2
• The amount of bisexual behaviour
undertaken by men and women has
more than doubled over the past 20
years. (Research done in 2017)
• According to a survey, 31% of
Christians considered premarital sex to
be “wrong” in 1983. In 2012, only 10%
thought that!
• Women are more likely to have a
same-sex experience now than 20
years ago. (Research done in 2017)
• Polygamy is becoming more
acceptable.

19. Respect (Children)3
In today’s fast and busy world, many of
us have forgotten the meaning and value
of respect. Parents want their children to
show respect to them and others
without accepting the fact that they
haven’t brought up their children in that
way. Sometimes due to the lack of work
life balance parents often fail to give
lessons on important values of life to
their children.

don%E2%80%99t-children-respect-their-parents

20. Women Rights4
The women rights movement was an
outstanding accomplishment, the results
of which were freedom and equality of
women in the work place and society. As
women became more industrious and
working, the upbringing of the children
were left in the hands of the house helps
and peers of the children. The home lost
it’s mom’s touch, because the women
were not always around to facilitate it.

21. Prenuptial Agreement5
• Prenup agreements dates back over 2000
years ago in the Hebrew contract
(Ketubah), giving rights to legality and
finances to women to protect their rights
so they don’t wind up homeless and broke
with their children in the event of their
husbands death, or infidelity.
• Prenup now has become more of a pre-
emptive assurance for possible future
marital issues than what is originally stood
for, and why it led to the development of
the Married Women’s Property Act
(MWPA).

prenuptial-agreements-2302015

22. Divorce6
• Back then, the divorce rates were 23
percent. People in the
1940s and 1950s believed that divorces
were regarded as a deviant behaviour and a
public acknowledgement of failure.
• The divorce rate in the present is 50 percent
and rising, which causes some people to
wonder if today's society takes marriage
seriously. Along with a high divorce rate,
there has been a growth of single parent
families as well, since the society's views on
divorce aren't as strict with it as
before. (Research done in 2011)

23. Media Brain Washing7
• Majority of our life is dependent on what the media
tells us, but this becomes a problem when we are fed
lies. Conspiracy theories, withholding information,
lies about the money system, etc.
• We are being bombarded with daily distractions by the
TV and other media sources.
With those distractions come influences.
Influences that change a persons way of thinking into
either the complete opposite, or worse.

24. E-KIDNAPPING8
Kids are spending more time indoors and the way they
socialize is changing. As parents, we think we are
keeping our kids safe by keeping them in the house
under our watchful gaze. But how safe are they really?
Time spent with friends outside of the home is being
replaced by socializing on the Internet – in chat rooms,
playing online games and on social media. Most of our
kids’ online activity is harmless and fun, but a growing
percentage of children are falling victim to online
predators and even kidnappers.
False modelling agencies and fake talent
scouts can deceive social media users, lure
them to isolated area, and kidnap the
individual for slavery purpose, ransom, and
in most cases; ritual purposes

25. JUVINILE VIOLENCE9
• Incarceration without treatment can
be counterproductive. Lacking
treatment, incarcerated youth are
more likely to reoffend. Furthermore,
youth are too often victimized in these
facilities, sexually, and physically,
compounding their trauma.
• The use of weapons by children,
via accidental shootings to
planned mass murder is alarming.
• Countries such as Yemen, Burma,
Congo, South Sudern, etc, include
children into military.
