2023 Event: Fragmentation
Incoherence. Shattered. Fragmentation. Taking several forms in the post-COVID society, it may be used to describe the disputes and disagreements that develop between various groups or people, causing societal discontent and a feeling of divisiveness. For instance, the pandemic lights pre-existing inequities and inequalities in healthcare, employment, and resource access, which has widened gaps across various socioeconomic groups.

In an effort to put together information that is often contradictory or lacking, we could find ourselves moving from one source to another.
