During the last years I read a lot of literature about limits, problems, biases, errors, overestimations in the fields of social, cognitive and behavioral neurosciences. Since the online-publication of Vul et al. (2008) about "voodoo correlations in social neuroscience" a lot of fuss has been made about this issue as a growing corpus of neuro-criticism literature reflects. What is your opinion? Is all that critzism and skepticism justified? What are the consequences that have to be drawn after more than five years of discussion? What do we really know in these fields? What have we learned during that time?
See Edelman, S. (2012). Six challenges to theoretical and philosophical psychology. Frontiers in Psychology, 3(July), 219. doi:10.3389/fpsyg.2012.00219 for an interesting discussion relevant to your question.
it is a vague and general question but in my opinion what make more problem in new world in spite of internet network speed of information transmission is misconception among cultures and aggressive behavior in different levels of groups and society. even between different age groups.
an other prominent problem which capture my eyes is language translation to transmit emotions, thought and idea or even knowledge in short format and time
