What is a significant problem in contemporary culture?

Answer

Hatred, or refusal to accept, or attempt to understand minorities or those considered different. Especially the lesbian, gay, bi, and trans-gender community.

Answer

Another significant problem for contemporary society is a tendency for people to depend on others to tell them what the political, economic, or social problems are and what they mean. It is a problem when people get their information from a single source or limited sources. The second half of this problem (although by no means recent) is a lack of awareness that politically motivated speech is deliberately designed to use emotional, provoking imagery combined with vague, firm statements that the listener interprets with their imagination instead of knowledge. This was the main technique of Hitler's speeches and is still successful today.
