Abstract: The aim of this study is to find out the general public perception of Pakistan about whether the current situation in Pakistan can change or not, or if things will remain as they are right now. The study discussed in detail about the need for change, the factors resisting change and how one can bring positive change in Pakistan. When talk about change, it relates to changing the current status of problems in the country and attaining a scenario of near-to-ideal environment where everyone can enjoy their proper rights, practice their beliefs and have equal opportunity to progress in their life. Pakistan was formed on these principles, but these objectives could not be fulfilled so far. The core of these problems is awful law and order situation, terrorism, energy crisis, huge capital outflow, wastage of vast natural resources and historical political instability and illiteracy. The external and internal imbalance, unemployment, hyper inflation is proclaimed as leading macroeconomic failures. Despite these prevailing social and economic disharmonies, the majority is still hopeful about the solution to these problems and believes that with positive intent and efforts a definite change can be brought here in Pakistan. Furthermore, this study suggests to solve these problems for long and stabilized development and success of the country.
