The line between what we might call "evil" and what only qualifies as "bad" is an indistinct one. Unlike the clearly negative actions of murder, rape, genocide, the actions considered here are less obviously injurious and may well even be more mundane, yet they are evil in many respects. Here we consider some lesser evils, including difficult, stress-inducting circumstances, groups that oppress their own members, racism, sexism, and elitism. Though we encounter these evils each day, and their familiarity may to some extent take away their sting, yet they still contribute to the overall decline in the quality of human life.
