SOCIAL ISSUES

Bullying
 What is an 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.
What are common issues in the society?

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:
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
 EXAMPLES:
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.
 EXAMPLES:
Poverty is described by the World

B a n k O r g a n i z a t i o n a s h u n g e r, l a c k o f

a d o c t o r. I t i s f u r t h e r d e f i n e d a s n o t h a v i n g

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.
