Deep dives

Civil Unrest and the Fractured Social Contract

Civil unrest and race riots have raised significant concerns about societal stability and the role of institutions in addressing hate and violence. Recent events in the UK highlighted how misinformation can incite violence against marginalized communities, yet political will to confront these underlying issues appears lacking. The response from officials has focused more on punishment than on prevention, raising fears about the fragility of social contracts that traditionally uphold community safety. The erosion of empathy and charity towards marginalized groups is seen as a troubling trend, exacerbated by ineffective policing in less affluent areas.
