Answer:
Contemporary issues are issues that are happening in the present. Most of these are issues that our ancestors did not experience in the past and only now have they become significant issues. Some examples are climate change, globalization, and rapid technological advances.
The contemporary issue also includes perennial social problems. These are issues that ever since we developed civilized societies have not been given a competent solution and have remained a problem even in our modern society. Some examples are poverty, government corruption, discrimination, and human rights violations.
