  2. Social fragmentation

Social fragmentation

  • Lack of integration in society
  • Lack of social integration
  • Reduced social cohesion

Claim

In most developed countries, we are at more risk of antisocial behaviour from people who are socially isolated and mentally ill than we are from ideologically-based acts of terrorism.

Counter-claim

There is no such thing as society; only individuals and families (UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, 1987)
