Definite article

I‘d like to know whether it is ok to use the definite article in one or all of the following sentences:

-Racial profiling is a problem in the country but the racism doesn‘t stop there.

-...are well integrated into many spheres of the social and professional life in the UK.

-There are some who disagree with the politics.

Thanks for your explanation!

Hilda9 Racial profiling is a problem in the country , but the racism doesn't stop there. I assume you are asking about the highlighted "the". Yes, this is OK if the sense is "the racism in this country".
