One Punter's View of What Constitute the Defining Issues Of Our Times: Up to two dozen 'Major Deals' - upon which Western Civilization, and with it our Present-day World overall, will arguably stand or fall

Somewhat sooner than usual, I'm returning to yesterday's topic/query: i.e. what actually constitute the real 'defining issue/s' of our time - when all the palava and political posturing and grandstanding are over? Of course, as I suggested, that's entirely something 'in the eyes' of the particular beholder. So, since my view/s are as valid, presumably, as the next fellow's or gal's...here's what a little/lot of brainstorming overnight/today has turned up...

Comprising 'stuff'/matters from some well-known and regularly canvassed issues of a highly concrete nature and 'definability' through rhetorical questions of a fairly contentious character and over onto some philosophically-oriented dichotomies pertaining to fundamental, diametrically-polar opposite world views, I believe I've cottoned onto at least a few of the more momentous and critical issues of our day.

But hey, perhaps I'm way off base - in your own esteemed view - and even 'off my rocker', and so, I look forward to some feedback - for a change! - by your taking the time and effort to 'push' (and thus activate) that little 'Comments' 'button'/feature (at the bottom of each and every blogpost, last I recall).

In quite-extremely general terms - for today's purposes (and so's I maintain my daily shuteye regime as best I can) - these are (apart from the first two/three items) not in hierarchical order, though I've nevertheless tended to juxtapose 'like with like' and similar-ish categories in succession:

*The nuclear question

*Climate Change/Global Warming

*Modern-day Terrorism

*Migration/Refugees/National Borders

*Multiculturalism in the West

*The Entitlement Syndrome: When in Rome, Do Whatever takes Your Fancy

*Pushback Against Elites aka British Brexit and The USA's Donald J Trump

*Black Lives Matter: Pushback (in America) Against Systemic Injustice

*The Me Too Movement: Backlash Against High-Profile Abuse(rs)

*Modern-day Western Feminism

*GLBT 'Rights'

*Identity Politics

*Political Correctness

*Virtue Signalling

*Watch(ing) Your Ps & Qs: Making a man an offender for a word

*Ideological Double-Standards: The Intolerance of the Super-Tolerant

*1984 Revisited: All Views/Religions are Equal, But Some are more Equal/Acceptable than Others

*It's Only 'democracy' if I get my way, or it's my way or the highway

*Your News is Fake News, Mine is the Real Quid

*Redefining Reality ('Evil is Good, and Good is Evil' - if I say so, understood?): Whoever has Control of the Mainstream Media, Rules - Okay?

*Euthanasia, Abortion, Capital Punishment & War: How Sacred is Life Really?

*Technology Run Riot: How Humanity Is Being Taken Over By Machines

*The Triumph of Science and Technology Over Faith & Spirituality

*'Health and Safety' Gone Berserk: Legislating for Every Conceivable Contingency

Tomorrow (in Part Three) I'll be much more 'elucidatory' and explain in much greater detail precisely what these 'defining issues' are...i.e. how I broadly see them (and their various essential component parts). At least I'll start along said process, and also - separately - survey 'Primary Exhibit #1' (a high-profile celebrity for whom I have immense sympathy/empathy...and whom the U.K. Media's 'shining jewel' and its Law Enforcement Agencies Have Treated Shamefully over recent years).
