What are the 21st century's social evils?

Julia Unwin, Director of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, launched the JRF's inquiry into modern social evils with a speech at the RSA in which she identified what she views as major modern social evils. Her list included: affluence; avarice; alienation and anger (and associated violence). She argued that these social evils can be addressed by the concepts of dignity, solidarity and civility. You can read her speech in full here and contribute your own views on modern social evils here.
