social dysfunction theme
Featured is a broad institutional social ill that in itself is reasonably distinct, unambiguous, and uncontroversially identified.
Notes
Corruption, poverty, and failing order are examples of things that most people will agree are "social ills", though proposed solutions may be controversial. Capitalism and Socialism, however, are notable examples of things that do not fall in the same category. Such political controversies are categorized elsewhere.
