Addressing crises

By Shahab Sabahi

Today, there's no shortage of crises in the world, from economic crisis, security and nuclear proliferation, famine, food price high to climate change. All these troubles reveal the many shortcomings in the institutional structures of our modern world in national and international levels. All the old political systems that had been developed before the world war one, could not fit our modern globalization. Middle class has grown over the last decades and thus human’s requirements have also been shifted. Population and demands keep growing and our policymakers stuck into their old fashion ideology and keep regulating to downgrade the planet and humanity.
In some ways, the continuing failure to address the current issues in an appropriate fashion strains people’s fate. Moreover it puts question on the competence and wills of policymakers. Despaired people will lead to more crises. It seems scary and certainly wouldn't be pleasure in future and bring threat to humanity.
Institutional reform and stringent policies are essential.  Developing new thoughts and doctrines should set our top priorities. Policymakers should be more realistic and stop changing the planet in the same way that they have done.
