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 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.

Love is blind. You will open the door to your heart and let them walk right in if you don't know the person and only go by appearances, and they could be hiding their intent to do you harm.

Trapped by TV

Cue the Kardashians.

Religion as big buck business.

Surrogate

Two different outcomes with the same potion

Her blood, sweat, and tears have gone down the drain as a college graduate.

The price she had to pay to get there

Finding inspiration.

Dude takes pills either for drug addiction or Rx and it alters his state of mind so that he is unable to write. Everything that comes from him goes to waste hence the trashcan

Horse power

Finger nails have a nail bed, so the roses under the nail of the fingers with wedding rings are "a bed of roses". The barbed wire represents a prison you can't escape from. What they though was bliss when they got married turns out to be a life sentence. The man and woman are popping up from a toaster. They are done, dry. Their love has dried up. From her head is a spool of silk. A spring silkworm produces silk until it dies. There is a Chinese thought that likewise, giving one's thought to another person is like a spring silkworm producing silk until it dies. He has a banana on his head. There is a book called Mr. Bananahead at Home about Mr. Bananahead who tries hard to do all the chores on Mrs. Bananahead's list but can't get them right. So the symbolism on their heads means even though they both have tried to to please each other, in the end it is no good, if that is all they do. It is too consuming and they dry up as people.

Yes, instead of commiting suicide, he prefers to destroy his memories. Nice move.

The life of social media. Everyone posts looking for validation via likes. Only to find opposition from people close to them.

She is a prostitute. Her tongue holds powerful men in her prison. Bc with the ability to blackmail she has power over them with the words she speaks. The only one who pleases her is her drugs where she can find escape from what it is she does.

Possessiveness

Ayer means yesterday in Spanish and his mind is a pencil being shaven (wasting away) because all he can focus on is the past.

Staying Squared Away with Military Service

She looks at him as her knight in shining armor. She sees the man as her warrior, her savior. People generally look to other people to complete them.
