SOCIAL ISSUES

(Redirected from Social problem)

'Social issues' are matters that can be explained only by factors outside an individual's control and immediate social environment which affect many individuals in a society. For example, a serial murderer who wreaks havoc in an area for a number of months or years is certainly a problem, but this is not a social issue; it is part of the larger social issue of crime. Common social issues include poverty, violence, justice, human rights (suppression of), equality (or discrimination), and crime, and usually revolve around conflicting viewpoints and tensions between people who take different stances. It can also be called a community problem because it is known to concern a community of people.
