New Rules, New Problems? A Closer Look at the Government’s Policies
New Rules, New Problems?
A new government often brings hope — and with it, new rules promising change and progress. But as seen in the video “New Rules | NoPollute”, not all policies have the positive impact they claim. While these new initiatives may appear beneficial on the surface, their real-world consequences raise concerns about unintended harm to society.
Take the new education policy, for example. It aims to increase access to higher education and has led to a surge in young graduates. However, with a stagnant job market and limited vacancies, many of these graduates find themselves unemployed or underpaid. Meanwhile, the country faces a shortage of skilled technical workers — a mismatch the policy failed to foresee.
Another case is the government’s loan policy for low-income individuals. By making it easier to access home financing, the rule was intended to boost homeownership and economic growth. Instead, it has placed a heavy financial burden on people who now struggle with debt they cannot afford, leading to long-term instability rather than prosperity.
These examples show that while new rules can be well-intentioned, poor planning and lack of foresight can make them counterproductive. Policies must be carefully evaluated not just for their immediate appeal, but for their deeper, long-term effects on society.
The shine of new rules is starting to fade. What’s left is a sobering truth: real progress isn’t about promises — it’s about planning, understanding, and putting people first.
Change is here. But at what cost?
