and class of the people are also included. The standards of the people has been divide into
high, middle and low class. This creates a sense of discrimination amongst the population as
the products that are being produced in the recent times are also being segregated hence the
prices are not reasonable for everyone to afford and the population categorized in the low
class with extremely minimal purchasing power cannot experience the standard quality
products or services. The type of discernment that has been made within the society has made
people experience harsh behavior and they are least accepted by the society (Cramer, 2017).

environmental situations. The environmental condition is degrading with the gradual days as
the probability of global warming is also increasing yet, globalization is helping in leading
the world to modernization. The complexities in the life of the population are being reduced.
