ABSTRACTION

Issue
An issue is an important problem or
topic that people in the society argue
about or discuss since it negatively
affects many people in the society. It
could be a social, moral, or economic
issue.

SOCIAL ISSUES
Social issues prevent the society
from functioning at the most
desirable level. An issue becomes
a social issue under the following
circumstances:

 The issue involves people in the society.

 The public, as a whole, recognizes the
situation as a problem.
 A large segment of the population sees the
situation as a valid concern.
 The situation can be alleviated through the
joint actions of the citizens.
Examples:

The image reflects an issue on drug

addiction.
Drug addiction or the use of
prohibited drugs can cause the drug user to
neglect his responsibility towards his
family, children, career, education, and
health. Thus, it is a social problem that can
adversely affect not only the lives of the
drug addicts, but also their families and the
entire community.

The image reflects the issue on

crimes.
Crime is a social issue and at the same
time a moral issue since it affects the safety
and security of citizens and it is against the
values and beliefs of the people. It is
prohibited by the law as it is harmful or
offensive to the people or the society.

The image reflects the issue on

poverty. Poverty is described by the World
Bank Organization as hunger, lack of
shelter, being sick, and not being able to see
a doctor. It is further defined as not having
access to school, not having a job, fear of
the future, and living a kind of hand-to-
mouth existence.

It is a social problem since a large

segment of the population experiences such
situation and sees it as a valid concern.
Listen to the news report in the following
video and answer the questions.

Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=wBX2PhfSGn4
1. What issue is discussed in the news
report?
2. What are the causes of this problem?
3. How does the issue affect the victims?

MORAL ISSUES
Moral issues are situations or actions
that do not conform to the shared
norms and values, culture, and beliefs
distinguished by a certain community
or social setting.

An issue becomes a moral issue under the

following circumstances:
 It is against the values, beliefs, and
preferences of the people in the society.
 It involves behavior patterns that
bring the individual repeatedly
into conflict with the society.
 It involves actions which have
the potential to harm others or
the persons themselves.
(Student answers may vary)
Examples:

The image reflects an issue on

abortion.

Abortion involves the termination of

pregnancy. While other countries consider
abortion as legal, it is a moral issue in the
Philippines and is regarded a grievous sin.
This action is against the norms and values
of the people, the church, and the society.
It is illegal under the law of the land and is
highly condemned.

The image reflects an issue on

stealing.

Stealing is an act of taking away

someone else’s possession without
permission. It is morally and illegally
wrong as it is against the ethical standard
of the society and it also violates the law
of the land.

ECONOMIC ISSUES
Economic issue are situations that
reflect the scarcity of resources
which are deemed insufficient to
satisfy human wants and needs.

An issue becomes an economic issue under

the following circumstances:
 It involves inflation or the
increase of price of basic
commodities and services
affecting a large number of
people.
 It involves an increase of unemployment
or not having a job to earn ones living.
 It involves poverty caused by
underlying factors such as lack
of education, cultural and
religious discrimination,
overpopulation, unemployment
and corruption.

Examples:
The
image reflects an issue on unemployment.

Unemployment happens when someone who has the

ability to work cannot find a suitable job.
Unemployment becomes an economic issue when a
large number of populations lacks the opportunity to
find a job and could therefore not support basic
needs.

Inflation rate refers to rise and fall of prices of

commodities at a specific time or period. Inflation
becomes an issue when there is an abrupt increase of
price of basic commodities and services making
people unable to have the capacity to provide for
their needs and wants.
Aside from being a social issue, poverty is also an
economic issue making it a socio-economic issue.
Poverty becomes an economic issue when it affects
the people’s economic activities. It means people can
hardly provide for their food, shelter, education,
and health.
