There can be many reasons for the decline in the quality of life in a country. Economic reasons, social changes or education are a few of them, but in the following sentences we will get down to the main reason for the decrease in quality of life. Otherwise, if we do not address the root of the problem, we will never be able to fix the current situation. The root of the problems: The problem of managers not changing and the systemic problems.
To begin with, the reason why the problem of managers not changing is considered the root of all problems is that managers who do not change become more powerful day by day, as power corrupts. People who become stronger gradually change by losing their principles and values, becoming a completely different person at the end of the day. Thus, competent people decrease, resulting in the filling of state administrations with inexperienced and incompetent individuals. It creates a toxic environment where innovation is stifled, and progress is hindered. Bad managers will affect decisions at the state level, leading to poor decision-making and mismanagement of the country. Therefore, the quality of life will decrease more and more.
Another issue arises from problems caused by the system itself. In general, populism in countries governed by democracy leads to many problems. Leaders make wrong and bad moves for the country in order to continue their existence and win the election because the people like this move and it increases their loyalty to the leader. For example, a president may distribute cheap loans to the public, despite its adverse effects on the economy, to gain popularity. However, in the long run, such behavior may lead to economic collapse. Consequently, this will also reduce people’s quality of life
In conclusion, addressing the root causes of declining quality of life necessitates confronting two critical challenges: unchanged leaders and problems brought by the nature of the system. The fact that leaders have been in office for many years causes corruption. If leaders and incumbents embrace constant change, corruption can be prevented. The problem of populism brought about by the system causes leaders to prioritize their own interests over those of their country. The solution to this is to change the country’s regime and look for other alternatives such as a sultanate regime or theocratic regime.
