What’s Wrong With Today’s Society Captured In 58 Though-Provoking Illustrations By Al Margen

Too true.

Black mirror-ish

A viewer/reader needs to be judicious on how they process info. Information is rarely absolute. Hero and villain are often opposite sides of the same coin; just a matter of perspective.

This is so horrible and so true. Sad for the child.

Those drawing are really dark and powerfull!

Too many extra-academic obligations.

This hit me the hardest, my thoughts about my grandson entirely.

This was me in high school, plus all of the academic clubs. Not worth the resulting stress and mental illness.

You must get at least 100 in your exam...wth?

On shoulders!

You will crush your children with the weight of your expectations.

This says it all~

they forgot to draw him Asian

Oh! Look at those small bony shoulders!

🙄

This looks like why a child would quit school...so sad..

The effect of Rat-Race mad parents on the overworked children

For me, this is the most significant illustration of all. In the age of specialization, youths should be allowed to choose the careers they wanted to and taught with all the related subjects therein. It is understandable how much we all need to study and understand the general subjects of mathematics, science, arts and music, basically speaking. But it is pointless to commercialize the profession of education or teaching by putting so much useless subjects in the minds of our youth.

Too many expectations on today's youth.

You will be...

parental expectations/demands

This is very relatable to me. People expects us to do all these things and be an adult even though we are being treated as kids. (T - T )

the worst part is that he has to learn windows!

They try to cram it in there.

The kid resists culture. Smack him around a little.

This perfectly sums up anorexia.

I prefer coffee :)

2 seconds before a jaguar eats her face off

I know how it feels to walk up dollar stairs and be met with a d**k to the face

reminds me of dr who

I hate seeing old buildings knocked down, or old businesses going out, or anything like that. It makes me so sad.

Who shall I be today?

Tinder?

It reminds me a scene from Midnight Express

A baby machine to feed a hungry world.

Crimefighting sistem dissected

When the mind's defense mechanism is to drown the possibility of thoughts in music.

Peace does not always bring about freedom. And not hard to become a prisoner of peace. Bane said it best, victory has defeated you.

It all comes down to fame and fortune. The artist makes the music the audience wants, becoming his audience and losing himself, then he fades into oblivion and is forgotten.

I think , socety tries to make you look mad if you have different opinions ...or ideas

In today schedule no need for brains.

Some refugees couldn't find a land

It's hard to be a kid in a money-less family, when the parents won't change their lifestyles to the lesser amount of money they now have. You have to give up so much of yourself to try to make things better, as far as money goes, and it all goes down the drain anyway. It really, really sucks.

Look at that. He's only chained by his mind. His feet and arms are let free. And the chains leading to his mind are connected to negligible obstacles. It's the mind that's keeping you away from love...

Shackled to the internet. So true. So many people live their lives on the Net, they forget there's a life away from it.

I think it's more to do with stereotyping and how we view people based on a few arbitrary "defining" characteristics. Rich people are greedy, fat people only think about food, police officers are just out to stop people from having fun, and a beautiful woman is just a beautiful body. Flawed thinking.

Domestic Violence

The one think too much of the past, the other one is embarrassed by the future and the third one can't live the present day, so they all come here to take their "carpe diem" pils...

Turn off consumer mentality. We're supposed to care for the earth, not consume it.

With these drawings, as I believe most of us get what the artist is trying to say here, its clear that we really are in a dystopian society and we just don't see it because we don't want to see it. sigh...

Really? I see power stripping away dignity, strength, and freedom from helpless individuals & obliterating them

They don't fit

anxiety

Biological clock is ticking

How about he who has help and access to better technology is going to produce more than one who's working with old technology on their own. It's about the inherent advantages in the class disparity that leads those who don't even see what they have as an advantage to think they're simply better, or that others are less: less clever, less creative, less able.

mowing down the resistance

Plastic surgery

The thinker. Planting more seeds to ponder about.
