Today’s Global Problems Covering the World
Abstract
The set of problems that are vitally important for the existence of humanity in the modern era and on which social progress depends are called global problems. Global problems cover all the countries of the world, the population living in all its regions, create a threat to its current situation and future, and combine all possibilities for its solution. these are problems that require the joint action of states and peoples. Its number and scope are determined in different ways. Sometimes the amount of these problems is raised above 20. But the main and more acute global problems are close to it and are grouped in the following directions.
- political and socio-economic problems that need to be solved;
- natural-economic problems;
- Social problems.
A certain number of modern global problems have occurred as a result of the violation of the balance and regularities in nature-society, nature-human interactions. These can be called the "ecological crisis" that has arisen in the conditions of modern social and scientific-technical progress: nature, water, and land are become at present, the need to form a new ecological thinking, ecological worldview has emerged in nature-human relations. F. Engels repeatedly noted in his work "Dialectics of Nature" that man's greatness lies in the fact that he learns natural laws and forces nature to obey his goals.
Scientific and technical progress also shows the emergence of problems that are difficult to solve before humanity. The main place among them is the relationship between man and the environment. In the new millennium, preservation of ecological balance, rational use of natural resources, protection of water, soil and atmospheric air from pollution has become a universal problem. In addition to demographic growth in the world, the sharp increase in consumption, global warming, damage to the ozone layer, and depletion of natural resources have also had an impact on environmental thinking and activities.
