Introduction

Do you know that in 2019, one in every ten people were suffering from food insecurity. This is the main problem in this world, no one cares about the environment where they live in. The issues which are not so important goes viral on social media and becomes a hot topic but the main challenges are not addressed and cared about.

As once a wise man said that those who forget history are condemned to repeat it.

So, everyone needs to know about the difficulties and hurdles the world faced and is still facing. Also, understanding the trends and patterns of how these events mold our everyday society.

Proposed Solution

The information collected from Google N-gram depicts historical reasons for changes in the trends discussing the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) provided by UN and tries to display a pattern on what are the events that had a positive or negative impact on the world. And what events made us think about these goals.
