Social Ills of a Society

Societal values of every society is sustained by the organs of the society. interestinly,the most significant organ is the goverment. so goverment is the most important organ reponsible in maintaining societal values. We ar all living in a democratic world today and like democracy is clearly define as the goverment of the people by the people and for the people,this convey the goverment is the peolple that make up the society. Now,a society that has failed in all sense of the word,is not without the fault of the wizs that inhabitates the environs. hen crime and iimmoral decadence become the order of the day,and is seen as the norm in a society,then we have an issue in our hand. I mean a society where boys of 18 years are do drugs barons and heads of gangs responsible for murder,robbery,and distri hardlyion of illicit drugs in the society. but inspite of all these,they are celebrated and worshipped by the society which they have destroyed. Education is one area that has recieved set back greatly in this whole drama,as umpteen young ones growing up dont see models in the light of discipline around them,yo follow. ut they see a lot of gangsters that are qualification money even from a very young age. so this becomes the benchmark for measuring success in this society.Those that even went to school,immediatly they got a job that could knock over them some money,they left the society and went some place else to build a life of thier own,as they really couldnt fit in to that world back home. This is the eggshell with many african societies,and this has brought about alot of death,rape,unwanted pregnancies,child abuse and drug abuse. etc. but the society still feell trapped in this quagmire irrespective of the huge prices that is been paid for all of this. his is where agencies both govermental and non-govermental,should become more strategic in saving lives and the society. they should come up with orientation programes on the effect of drugs,alcohol, and crime. the goverment should move into on compulsory secondary school education for all young person within the age of education. they should arrest and remand all crime defaulters so as to serve as deterrent for the others. they should build more schools in such societies and increase the activities of the law enforcement and drug enforcement agents in these kind of environs. wholly of these will help curb the menace of crime and drug in the socities.
