What's up with London? (riots, merged)

I believe UK riots point that many youths are feeling a sense of detachment from society and from their own government. They may feel that they are not a part of the society or British state in general. They may harbor a deep sense of resentment towards authorities and loath authorities because basically they feel they are shut out. This raises a question what happens to their immediate communities: school, family and neighborhoods. People feel that they are part of a society when they receive social benefits from it in the form of love, relationships, care, nurture, etc and able to contribute back to it be it in the form of time, effort and or financially.
