Should Social Media Be Regulated Globally? 📱
Social media ties us together, but it’s messy—fake news sways elections, and trolls tank teen mental health. A global rulebook could force platforms like TikTok or Instagram to fact-check and shield users. Trouble is, it might gag free speech or push one culture’s values on everyone. In 2025, with deepfakes fooling millions, the pressure’s on. Should we leash social media worldwide, or keep it wild and free? Where do you stand?

Robots and AI are eating jobs—think cashiers or drivers—leaving wealth in fewer hands. Universal basic income (UBI) could fix that: cash for everyone, no questions asked, to pay rent or eat. Finland’s test runs showed happier people, but critics say it’s a budget buster or might make folks lazy. In 2025, with automation surging, UBI’s a hot topic. Could it smooth out a lopsided world, or is it a pipe dream? What’s your take?

Vaccines have crushed diseases like polio, but in 2025, new bugs and variants keep popping up as travel booms. Mandatory shots could protect the weak—like kids or the elderly—and stop pandemics cold. Yet, some say it’s their body, their call, citing rare risks or shady government track records. With global health on the line, it’s a fierce fight: force the jab for the common good, or let freedom ring? What would you choose in this tug-of-war?

Artificial intelligence is everywhere in 2025. AI scans X-rays to spot cancer better than doctors, and robots run factories without breaks. But it’s a double-edged sword: truck drivers, clerks, even lawyers are losing jobs to machines. Worse, what happens when AI decides who gets parole or fires a missile? Optimists dream of AI solving hunger or climate woes; skeptics see a sci-fi nightmare where it outsmarts us. Picture a world where your boss is a bot—or your enemy is. Is AI our ticket to utopia, or a trap we’re building ourselves?

Climate change isn’t a future worry—it’s hitting hard now. In 2025, cities like Phoenix and Madrid are frying under record heatwaves, with power grids failing and people fleeing indoors. Hurricanes have torn through the Caribbean and Southeast Asia, leaving towns in ruins, while melting Arctic ice floods islands like the Maldives and threatens giants like New York and Shanghai. A global climate emergency could unlock trillions for solar farms, ban deforestation outright, and force every nation to cut emissions fast. But oil-rich countries like Saudi Arabia or coal-dependent ones like India might collapse economically, and poorer nations could get left behind without real help. Is this the drastic move to save Earth, or a risky bet that could split the world apart?
