Contemporary Social Issues

What ideas from the book Of Mice and Men are still seen in society today? What issues are faced today that are mentioned in some way in the book? What issues are faced/experience/talked about/seen in the book that you could say people today still see/face/deal with/etc.?

Your group needs to post your list as a comment to this post and you should have at least five ideas down.  The more you have, the better, and the group with the best list gets candy.
