    What is a social issue?
    O A social issue (also called a social problem
    or a social illness or even a social conflict)
    refers to an issue that influences and is
    opposed by a considerable number of
    individuals within a society.
    Most Common Social
    Problems
    O Brainstorming!

    O Let’s make a list of all the social problems


    that we know
    O Write them on the board.
    O Personal problem VS public problem

    Personal problems are things that affect individuals and


    those around them. If someone in a family attempts suicide,
    that is a problem for the family

    Public issues, on the other hand, involve much larger


    numbers of people.

    For an issue to become a social concern, it needs to have an


    influential group define it as so. An influential group is a
    group that can have a significant impact on public debate
    and social policy.
    Ex: MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Drivers)
    O Social issues are those which affect the
    human society as a whole. These issues
    pertain to human behavior, including
    government policies, religious conflicts,
    gender inequalities, economic
    disparities, etc.
