Subject: The social evils debates
This is a very interesting website
www.socialevils.org.uk
The social evils debates
The Joseph Rowntree Foundation has started a UK-wide debate to find out what are the social evils of the 21st century.
In a public consultation in 2007
<http://www.socialevils.org.uk/social-evils-your-responses/>, thousands of people told us what they thought these were. Themes included drugs and alcohol <http://www.socialevils.org.uk/2008/04/09/drugs-and-alcohol/>, crime and violence <http://www.socialevils.org.uk/2008/03/03/crime-and-violence/>,
and decline of the family
<http://www.socialevils.org.uk/2008/04/09/the-decline-of-the-family/>.
Underlying these, some other themes emerged - including a perception of a decline in values <http://www.socialevils.org.uk/2008/04/09/decline-of-values/>, fear of others, inequality <http://www.socialevils.org.uk/2008/04/09/poverty-and-inequality/> and a lack of community <http://www.socialevils.org.uk/2008/04/09/decline-of-community/> - which we have asked key commentators to examine.
We are now hosting a series of debates to explore these issues further.
Each of the five events will be broadcast live on this website, with recordings of the debate available to download afterwards.
