Of Social Change, Social Problems and Development

This week, we had a healthy discussion on how change, problems and development relate to one another. We have explored how these 3 concepts have woven the society albeit to its abyss of doom or to a sunshine of hope. These concepts are so vulnerable in each society that without these, a society will be stagnant, will be staple, will be static.


Change - we should never resist change. This is a part of life. But remember, change should be something for the better and not for the worse. This should be a more sensible thought rather espouse for a change that can destroy what the previous generations toiled in order to achieve the present.

Problems - are always there. It is a test on how steadfast we are with our beliefs, with our life principles. If we have a strong grip on what we believe is right or wrong, then problems will be simple to solve. A problem will always have a solution. Solutions may not be right under our nose every time, but still, all it takes is an open mind and heart to acknowledge, understand problem and eventually arrive at a workable solution.


Development - this forms part on how we justify our existence. Remember, we are here on earth because we strive to achieve development. But, it should not just be a mediocre development but something that can withstand time and become a legacy to future generations. But, development will never be achieved if we will all be denying our past, lazy with present and complacent with our future. Development does not happen overnight. It takes a conscious cooperative effort to achieve such.
