1. Individualism
1.1. Deviance
1.1.1. Unconventional Beliefs/ Behaviours
1.1.1.1. Crime
1.1.1.2. Conflict
1.1.1.2.1. Decades before, the normal rule for societies was based from a collective point of view, to grow with the values and beliefs a society has created in order to serve the community. However there has been a recent moral shift in the way humans and society think. Society started feeling the need for feeling special, unique and different. This effort to distance oneself from the so-called 'mass' is not something that has always happened in the history of mankind, but rather it is a phenomenon of recent appearance. Deviance has been a characteristic that has shaped the world from its beginnings, the exclusion for those ones with different ideologies, beliefs, and values. However we have to evaluate how this deviance behaviour has really change in a so called "individualistic society", why still adjectives such as abnormal, deviant, rare, applied to individuals and threat our society in such level that governments determine it as a conflict or even a crime.
1.1.1.3. Moral Conversion
1.1.2. Relativity
1.1.2.1. Free Will?
1.1.2.1.1. These rules are not neutral, but are designed to guarantee and protect the interests of certain social groups that have the capacity to create them. According to this perspective, therefore, a group or behavior can be considered deviated at a certain time and place and not in another.
2. Science
2.1. The Unconscious
2.2. Relativity
2.3. Darwin's Evolution
2.4. Gravity
2.5. Heliocentrism
2.6. Scientific Method
2.6.1. Just over a hundred years ago, people had no idea how we inherit and pass on traits or how a single cell could grow into an organism. They didn't know that atoms themselves had structure - the word itself means indivisible. They didn't know that matter has very strange properties that defy common sense. Or why there is gravity. And they had no idea how things began, whether it was life on earth or the universe itself. These days because of fundamental discoveries we can answer or at least begin to answer those mysteries. That has transformed the way we see the world and often our everyday lives.
2.7. Development of nuclear weapons
2.7.1. Atomic Bombs
2.7.1.1. We would argue that since scientists helped to create nuclear weapons, the scientific community today has a profound responsibility to help reduce and ultimately disarm them. Governmental co-operation with scientists is essential if we are to ensure that the spread in nuclear expertise does not introduce new dangers and instabilities that could undermine nuclear disarmament.
3. Social Constructs
3.1. Capitalism
3.1.1. Segregation On a Global Scale
3.1.1.1. The combination of "liberal" and free-market system ideals, in which man and nature became commodities, private corporations became powerful actors, and under the new “market rationality” or “individual rationality”, all participants sought individual advantage without regard to the hardship of others. The idea was to maximize economic activity, on the theory that this would maximize total happiness in the utilitarian sense.

3.2.3.1. Gender Pay Gap
3.2.3.2. Segregation
3.3. Arts
3.3.1. Though art may be an expression of an individual’s internal discourse/dialogue, it is rare that an artist works completely alone. Everything in the artists’ environment affects the artist and thus has an effect on the work.
3.4. Education System
3.4.1. Educational Institutions
3.4.1.1. As a society we are convinced that schools are essential to preserve our system. I is where we learn our history and the histories of the world. It is where we understand the value of reading, writing and mathematics. It is also where young people learn and develop the school’s understanding of empathy, social justice, and equality. Many believe that without schools, kids would not learn. Schools are social engineering for future generations.
3.4.2. "Knowledge"
3.4.2.1. Social Practices
3.4.2.2. Prevailing Traditions
3.4.2.2.1. Knowledge and learning dear to the Western traditions and social practices that continue today to inform the vast majority of the population. It is vital to analyse the contemporary educational systems and the problem of prevailing traditions, since what we know about the past, can be describe it as a generational knowledge.
3.4.3. Western Constructions
3.4.3.1. Schools frequently have similar rules, common curriculum and standards, similar language and comparable day to day practices. This is the familiar construct we have created. The education is linked to the belief you can achieve success in life according to the level of education the person has completed. It is believed that a person with higher education will get a better job, thus a better salary. The education is socially constructed in order to create a competitive world where there is a separation of social status.

4.1.1. MRI Scanners
4.1.2. Antibiotics
4.1.3. Bacteriology
4.1.4. Orthodox
4.1.4.1. If we go back thousands of years, we will discover that the ancient civilizations already used some of the remedies we use today in modern society, although in its most primitive and less processed form
4.1.5. Increase in life expectancy
4.1.5.1. The human has reached new limits in longevity. Life expectancy around the world has increased from 30 years during the 20th century to 70 years in 2012. WHO forecasts that by 2030, it will increase to 85 years for women living in developed countries. Medical advances and hygiene have made it possible to live more than any other time in history.
4.1.6. Insulin
4.1.7. Vaccines
4.1.8. Anesthesia
4.2. Public Health System
4.2.1. Power of conservative professional elites
4.2.1.1. The health system is suffering dramatic cuts by a global political and economic system that causes this inertia of social injustices. There have always been, unfortunately, health for the poor and health for the rich. Although the government provided the entire population with free access to basic services of primary health care, which is treated in all public hospitals of the countries, the low budget and limited expenditures for the health sector, the lack of personal, and the lack of financial control and transparency, cause that the rights of patients to free health services are not respected.
4.2.2. Influenced By Society
4.3. Hygine
4.3.1. Lack of resources in the developing world
4.3.1.1. Increase in mortality rates
4.3.1.1.1. The hygienic conditions were questionable: not always the surgeons washed their hands before and after operating. The coats used to be dirty and under the operating table lay boxes of wood shavings to collect the blood of the patients. In the case of the richest patients, it was requested to receive surgical interventiosn at home, often at the kitchen table. The risk of dying was greatly increased due to the lack of knowledge of the causes of the infection and diseases.
4.3.1.2. Lack of access to safe water, lack of personal and domestic hygiene, and inadequate sanitation practices are the causes of more than 75% of the burden of disease
5. Development
5.1. Notion of progress
5.1.1. "the western" appears called "the modern" and the modern blurs and confuses with meanings that try to hide different interests. Western culture and policies have shaped the world, the nations of Western civilization have been driving the wheels of modernization. Therefore, we have to question the existence and desirability of “progress”.
5.1.2. Economic Growth
5.1.2.1. Group of nations attribute the correlation of progress between happiness and per capita GNP, however these are poor indicators for development. Statistics show a small and little correlation between economic growth and happiness.
5.1.2.2. Income Inequality
5.2. Technology Driven
5.2.1. Industrial Revolution
5.2.1.1. Automation
5.2.1.1.1. In the Industrial Revolution large remnants arose to market. The agricultural regions began to produce more than they were able to consume. The same happened in the industrial zones. As the remnants increased, so did the amount of merchandise exchanged between different regions or between different countries. A growing commercial exchange forced the means of transport to be renewed.
5.2.2. Dawn of the world wide web
5.2.2.1. Altered industries, created others, promoted science and education, gave rise to world trends or became the catalyst for protests that ended with entire regimes.
5.2.3. Artificial Intelligence
5.2.3.1. Decision Making
5.2.3.1.1. It is a reality that Artificial Intelligence will completely change our habits, our customs, our beliefs and the way in which we operate as a society.
5.3. ManKind and Environmental Impact
5.3.1. Resource Limits
5.3.1.1. Air Polution
5.3.1.2. Water Contamination
5.3.1.3. Ground Damage
5.3.2. Uncertainty of the future
5.3.3. Solutions given- Lack of action
5.3.3.1. It is sad to observe that most of society recognizes the existence of a large number of environmental problems and the conflicts that derive from them, however, not enough is done to be able to achieve a good identification and analysis of their causes, as well as of creating possible solutions to face the consequences
5.3.4. Disruption and unraveling of the climate through human activity
5.3.4.1. Technological progress has defied resource limits and has bring multiple side-effects from this proliferation. Modifying the environment to fit the needs of society is causing severe effects, including global warming, environmental degradation, mass extinction and biodiversity loss. The alarming point is that solutions have already been given and we know what is going on, however we haven’t stopped it even though the consequences are becoming clear.

7.1.2. Wealth
7.1.3. Trade
7.1.3.1. Business and their representative organizations, promote the benefits of open trade across political boundaries and the integration of markets to create global opportunities. For countries to participate in international trading they needed to increase their competitiveness through investment in infrastructure, education, institutional capacity and technology. This creates a great inconvenience within this macro-process since it starts generating a strong discrimination between developing countries.
7.2. Steamrolling indigenous cultures
7.2.1. Minor groups see globalization as a threat to the traditional family structure, creating a disconnect from cultural traditions. While Multinational corporations view indigenous land as a valuable commodity to be bought, sold, and exploited and people for being exploited.
7.3. Neo-Liberal policies primarily benefit rich countries and cooperations
7.3.1. Exploitation of developing countries
7.4. Diminishes and marginalises local cultures

8.1.1. Exclusive
8.1.1.1. Many consumer goods that have penetrated into the majority of households, such as vacuum cleaners, washing machines, telephones, televisions, refrigerators, automobiles, air conditioners, are now generally regarded as necessities in rich societies, and they were all considered as luxuries only a half century ago.
8.1.2. Exploitation of the people and the environment
8.1.2.1. During the extraction of natural resources, raw materials and energy are obtained from nature to produce goods and services. Many of these resources are not renewable or regenerate very slowly, which is a double problem: on the one hand we are alternating the cycles or the regeneration capacity of some resources, such as the water cycle. And on the other hand we are producing raw materials and energy in a very polluting way; for example, with the burning of fossil fuels.
8.2. Insatiable taste
9. Migration
9.1. Colonization
9.1.1. Xenophobia
9.1.1.1. The increase in migrations and displacements caused by social, political, economic or religious conflicts, persecutions, situations of degradation, climate change, lack of opportunities and human security, among other calamities, strengthen today the cancers of xenophobia and racism in the world. These tumors are metastasizing and opening the doors to hatred, anger, discrimination
