The liberal lash back, american "progressives" have been confused for liberals, causing a lashing out towards all left policies. So the youth of today are moving extremely far right or far left removing any centrist concepts.
Some of society's problems that concern you?
People still judge each other based on appearence.
As if they're not the same under their's.
Apathy and ignorance are poison; the act of being overly-judgmental can be toxic. It's a terrible thing when people don't understand that underlying all of society's ills and conditions is the human condition, and we all have to deal with our own private struggles, but we're all not that different on a fundamental scale. (unless you're soooo rich you poop gold bricks and piss diamonds)
Rampant uncontrolled immigration.
Erosion of rights in the name of security; mass data collection, etc.
Unwillingness of some to listen to science, unwillingness of others to respect others beliefs.
The mildly high costs of hard drives- I am running out of space for all my hentai.
There are a few things that concern me.
One would be discrimination and the second would be "Close minded people" not sure if there's another term for that.

Student debt.
This only goes for some places. For example US... I was considering to go there and study, until I saw it was an outrageous amount of money 30k-60k per year in North Carolina, unless I wanted a cheap college or intitution.
I decided to stay here in my home country instead where with 5k you'll get your Bachellors degree done. Lets not forget the finantial aids. People that take them pay for nothing and even got plenty money leftovers to buy whatever else in need need. This being Food, Gas, Clothes, etc. Then again these aids are for people with lower resources, not everyone qualifies.
Capitalism and it's unquestioned support by the people.

"Social justice"
This and people who consider adults "kids" if they play games.
Mass poverty and rejection of technology.
Just going to add to the list.
Profiling. Someone recently said publicly.. "we should bomb every raghead, fuck the sand niggers". It makes me so mad that anyone can classify every single person that they call a "raghead" as a terrorist..
Right now I'd say I'm concerned about authoritative political correctness. It seems like a lot of people want to just be offended for others for some reason. I hope it doesn't get to the point where it really is authoritative and everyone has to live in fear or something..
Mass third-world immigration into Europe.
Couple that with their low birthrates, and the immigrants high birthrates, and you can project that most Europeans won't exist by the turn of the century. I suspect something similar is going to happen to Japan too, given the talk of their low birthrates.
The general term for all of this is globalism. This Chomsky quote says it in an interesting way:
"See, capitalism is not fundamentally racist -- it can exploit racism for its purposes, but racism isn't built into it. Capitalism basically wants people to be interchangable cogs, and differences among them, such as on the basis of race, usually are not functional. I mean, they may be functional for a period, like if you want a super exploited workforce or something, but those situations are kind of anomalous. Over the long term, you can expect capitalism to be anti-racist -- just because its anti-human. And race is in fact a human characterstic -- there's no reason why it should be a negative characteristic, but it is a human characteristic. So therefore identifications based on race interfere with the basic ideal that people should be available just as consumers and producers, interchangable cogs who will purchase all the junk that's produced -- that's their ultimate function, and any other properties they might have are kind of irrelevent, and usually a nuisance."
I don't look forward to a future where there aren't different cultures to appreciate, which is guaranteed to happen if things continue to progress as they have been.
student debt
people that dont use irc
the fact i cant have a doggo
the acceptance people have for the 9-5 grind
the mob mentality of both the right and left
my feet are cold
Political parties (at least in our country) completely avoiding what to do with the endless stream of foreigners because they fear to be labeled as racist
The rate a which humans are reproducing, and the ammount of resources we are using.
I'm concerned by how people in the UK seem generally content with:
how our government would love nothing more than to slowly chip away at our privacy and civil liberties
how our government talks of a weak economy, and that a state of austerity is necessary to bring it back up, all while having seemingly unlimited bomb-dropping funds

So... An excess of shitty hats?
mass surveillance, migrants, overpopulation, and political correctness
mass surveillance is a problem because everyone has a right to privacy, regardless of whether or not a country's laws allow it
migrants are a problem because of the incredible numbers flooding into countries all over europe and the inaction of governments
overpopulation is a problem because a lot of innocent people will die when we run out of resources
political correctness is a problem because it interferes with intelligent discussion and causes anyone who doesn't believe that a "trigendered squirrelkin omnisexual" is a real thing to be labelled as a racist bigot, even if they wholeheartedly support equal rights
i'm a little bitter about this one; can you tell?
People blaming national problems on religions or immigrants, and people assuming immigrants will bring a country's problems along with it.
But that's not a very popular opinion around here.

Sweden?
Sweden? Pretty sure I said UK
I'm not really familiar with Sweden's politics.
