THE FOUR MAIN SOCIAL

ISSUES OF SOCIETY

Introduction:

Social issues are a general word that is used for a variety of situations and actions that affect the society.
These issues can be changed only with a certain kind of social planning.

Social issues affect every member of the society directly as well as indirectly. Some people considered
the social issues as the issues or disputes which are linked to the people's moral values.

Body:

The following are the 4 main groups in which the social issues can be categorized:

1. Political Social Issues:

Politics is a procedure in which some groups of people utilize their power and impact to function in an
organized way for mutual decision making. It is also considered as one of the biggest social issues as the
maximum number of verdicts declared by the governments might not essentially help the poor people
in the society. In fact, the leaders gratify their self-centered interests with the misuse of public funds.

2. Pollution Social Issues:

Pollution results in instability, illness, harm or distress to the environment.

The human activities such as industrial activities have made this problem one of the major social issues.
The man-made activities result in the pollution of the soil and water to a great extent.

3. Climate change Social Issues:

It is the alteration in statistical dispersal of climate which might include the change in the weather or
change in the amount of rainfall due to human activities like pollution. These social issues influence the
patterns of weather in diverse areas.

One of the recent examples of this social issue is global warming which is instigated by human activities
from the past several years. Altering patterns of climate influence the economic activities like farming
that result in poverty among the people who survives on it.
4. Poverty Social Issues:

It is the absence of general human requirements, like clean water, nutrition, health care, clothing and
shelter, and education. This social issue occurs due to the lack of funds that can help in meeting the
expenses of the daily needs.

Mainly, there are 2 kinds of poverty i.e., relative poverty and absolute poverty. In relative poverty, there
are comparatively fewer resources or fewer funds in the society in comparison to other societies of the
world.

On the other hand, Absolute poverty means when there are no resources.

Poverty is one of the biggest social issues as it decreases economic development owing to less
production. At present, steady and constant economic growth of the nation has been inhibited by the
absence of economic independence for numerous persons owing to related issues like political
uncertainty, exploitation, as well as unemployment.

Conclusion:

All the above four social issues influence every country and society in the world. It is very important to
deal with these social issues seriously if we want to relish the quality life.

The problem of global warming is an inkling to reverse the entire human progress that is attained in so
many years. In fact, it will make efforts towards the poverty reduction unattainable. Besides this, the
political solutions are also needed for overcoming all types of social issues in the future.
