1EVIL AND HUMANITY
There are different categories of people who reside in the world as a part of society.
Every society has its own distinct characteristics. It should however be noted and understood that
no particular society is perfect in any sense. There are evils and disadvantages in every society.
Some societies might experience a relatively lesser number of problems than other societies but
the fact of the matter is that there are existent evils in each society. These evils are deadly and
have a profound negative impact on the people of the world around us. This is because of the
reason that evils create negative energy which engulfs people. Society needs to be freed of all
evils to emerge as the winner as a whole. Therefore it is to be understood that the social evils
need not be feared but understood and eradicated (Corstjens & Umblijs, 2012).
Social evils have the power to disrupt the normal flow of lives of the people and might
also disrupt the social life to a large extent. These evils have the power to cause problems and
disturbances in the lives of the people and also create a huge impact on the individuals inhabiting
the society and their norms, customers, values, perceptions, religious and other daily practices
and so on. Social evils include poverty, slavery, trafficking, the financial inequality, the great
demarcation between the haves and the have nots. The rise of he selfish, self-centred and self
absorbed individuals of the present day world and the concepts of crime, corruption, addiction
are all different types of social evils (Karnani, 2016).
Trafficking is a very serious and a grave crime which leads to a huge violation of human
rights. There are thousands of women and children who fall prey to people who send them to
different countries. In such cases, threats, force, coercion are administered to sent the persons to
far off places. Several dangerous consequences await the people who are trafficked. This is a
sign of an extremely wrong and dangerous mentality which is detrimental to the people residing

in the society (Haynes, 2014). Human trafficking is truly a global threat and needs to be stopped
at any cost.
