Understanding world issues and future society
Understanding world issues and future society
Description
Book Introduction
Recently, the world order has fallen into an era of chaos to the point where it is impossible to see even an inch ahead.
Beyond economic interests, the United States and China are revealing serious conflicts not only in the realm of values ​​such as freedom, human rights, and democracy, but also in areas of hegemony such as the South China Sea and the Taiwan issue.
At present, some countries are treating these issues as if they were their own problems, either turning a blind eye to the risks they could pose or simply shifting the blame to other countries.
This irresponsible attitude not only makes it difficult to respond effectively and collectively to the catastrophes that global problems can cause, but also makes it impossible to understand the background and nature of these problems, as well as the possibilities for change.

With this awareness in mind, this book comprehensively analyzes the issues, trends, and prospects surrounding the problems we face today and whose repercussions may continue into the future, such as the US-China conflict, island disputes, nuclear weapons, terrorism, Middle East wars, refugees, climate change, infectious diseases, democracy in the age of artificial intelligence, and robot taxes.
This book, covering ten topics, will hopefully provide some small help in understanding the current state and characteristics of the global problems occurring before our eyes, and in predicting the direction in which they will unfold, the changes they will bring about, and the impact they will have on "future society."
