Snapshots Magazine - Issue 12

En este número

In this highly anticipated September 2025 edition of Snapshots, We delve into one of the most pressing and complex issues facing the world today: the rise of political violence and its growing impact on Western countries. Over the past year, a disturbing wave of violence has spread across many nations, fueled by deepening political divisions and rising extremism. From the shocking assassination of political commentator Charlie Kirk to escalating street violence and attacks on public figures, the landscape of political discourse has been fundamentally altered.

But it’s not just about violence. This issue will also examine the broader social and political shifts taking place in Western societies—rising tensions between polarized groups, the role of social media in amplifying divisive rhetoric, and the challenges to democratic institutions. We’ll take you beyond the headlines to explore the root causes of this instability, as well as the potential paths forward for societies grappling with these growing threats.

Key Highlights:

The Death of Charlie Kirk
The Subsequent Rise in Political Violence Across Western Countries
How Inequality, Loneliness and Social Media Fuel Political Violence
The changing landscape here in Australia – What’s happening at home?

But that’s not all—Snapshots is also bringing you a global perspective, with half of this issue dedicated to major stories from around the world.
