As a society, we all need to be sensitive to what is happening around us. However, most of the time, in the rush of daily life, we can remain indifferent to social issues. However, seeing injustice, inequality, environmental problems and the problems experienced by disadvantaged groups and finding solutions is not only the responsibility of individuals, but also of all of us. So, how can we increase social sensitivity and solve these issues?
1. What is Social Awareness?
Social sensitivity is the awareness of individuals about social, economic and environmental problems in their environment and taking an active role in these issues. This sensitivity should not be limited to being aware; it should also include taking action.
2. Social Problems We Face Today
Inequality of opportunity in education : Students with financial difficulties have difficulty accessing quality education.
Violence against women and gender inequality : Violence against women, discrimination in working life and unequal opportunities.
Environmental problems : Climate change, plastic waste, depletion of water resources.
Participation of disabled individuals in social life : Difficulties encountered by disabled individuals in the processes of education, employment and inclusion in social life.
3. Solution-Focused Approach: What Can We Do?
It is not enough to just talk about the problems, we need to find solutions to them. At this point, individual and social steps are of great importance:
Raising awareness and consciousness : Drawing attention to issues on social media, at school, at work and in the community.
Participating in volunteer activities : Taking part in social responsibility projects by collaborating with NGOs.
Cooperating with local governments : Contributing to social change by taking an active role in neighborhood, municipal and city governments.
