In the United States, we have plenty of current ongoing problems. But a lot of them are actually the hangover from past mistakes and disasters: slavery and Jim Crow, incredibly late and incomplete rights for women, etc.

One I don't think we talk about enough is how badly my generation (X-ish) was screwed up by the concept of "stranger danger." That people you didn't know were the primary thing to fear. It's statistically and logically nonsense, but so much bad is built on and supported by it.
