What’s Wrong With Today’s Society Captured In 58 Though-Provoking Illustrations By Al Margen
4.2Mviews
We all know that nothing is perfect. Our modern society included. Many things are problematic and troubling, and even though we notice them, we are not too fast to work on fixing pressing social issues.
Al Margen, an illustrator from Buenos Aires, Argentina, creates depressing drawings pinpointing the world problems of our times. He creates dark drawings that are sometimes louder than words and are extremely thought-provoking. The author himself is very critical about his works and talks about them in a really artistic manner: "They are children of boredom, nonconformity or anger. <...> They are the representation of discarded ideas. They are the garbage of the subconscious. But they are more visceral and sincere than other sad drawings because they have no obligation to please. <...> Because they were born only by an impulse and nothing more. Because they were born to annoy because they show the problems with society."
Take a look at some of his satirical works on social problems below and let us know which one was your favorite.

We all are slaves of something or the other and only have the power to set ourselves free
Peace does not always bring about freedom. And not hard to become a prisoner of peace. Bane said it best, victory has defeated you.

"What's wrong with today's society". Are you kidding? This has been around since the dawn of man. Parents arguing in front of their kids? People lying to others? Smoking is bad? If you think working 9-5 in a computer chair sucks, then imagine working five in the morning until seven at night in a coal mine during the 1800's with no safety regulations. Oh yeah #5? What's that about? Going to college destroys ideas? Nah going to college is a means of expanding your knowledge in a particular field. /rant
Exactly. It should be "What's wrong with an industrialised society".
People made it big without college.
No college is a way to indebt you to the systen so you have to fall in line. Having a professionals help can give you a big advantage, but theres no need to be indebted for life over it. Id rather teach myself than be indebted for life.
Squeaky Balls...btw, real mature name... #5 is talking about the terrible job that is American education. We do not really train students, high school age or college, to excel in their lives or careers. We teach them in a formulaic way irregardless of their intent, age, mental prowess, and natural skill set. We force them to learn subjects unrelated to their field or even their future. You know how many times I've had to figure out the dimensions of parallelograms in my life? Not one single time outside of that chapter in class. We are forcing kids to learn who was General of what army in 1502 in France, instead of teaching them how to code or fix machinery (actual things they would need to know in today's society). There is a reason we decline every year in education in comparison to the rest of the world. I think we are 18th now?? And our current leader in the Department of Education has ZERO experience or training in the field of education and is even against public schooling!
Nah buddy you wrong. There are alot of people who made it big to success without college.
Just because we've improved as a society (massively in my opinion, just for the record), doesn't mean that we now have it right and are above parody.
You're a dumbass, you clearly don't get it...you sheep. I assume you work a 9-5. You're not unique. You're like the rest.
You're very ignorant i assume you work a 9-5. Peasant
Not the Dawn of man but dawn of money and Religion in the English Enterpretation lords of the Temple of the Gross
No, even before we used money people have been greedy.
Incredibly deep, reflective, and scary. Applause to the artist.
Word!
Social pessimism is boring, even when it's witty.
Almost as boring as complaints about pessimism.
