In this age of fast technological development and globalisation, people all around the globe are facing complicated social problems that need new ways of thinking about things. This study of contemporary social issues covers a broad range of themes, including economic disparity, ethical concerns, policy implications, and the impact of literature and media on public opinion. The research utilises a variety of academic publications to demonstrate how globalisation has both exacerbated and created opportunities for socioeconomic inequality. Ethical theories like care ethics and consequentialist views could be very helpful for policymakers who want to protect vulnerable groups. Moreover, literary and artistic representations serve as powerful instruments for social critique, influencing public perception and governmental discourse. The research dives into how sociology overlaps with digital anthropology, healthcare, and environmental sociology, emphasising the need of multidisciplinary approaches in addressing modern issues. Embracing inclusive strategies that include moral reasoning, policy reform, and international cooperation is essential as societies continue to change. The study concluded that public engagement, new policies, and continuous research were essential for addressing contemporary social issues and advancing sustainable development.
