 Definition
Social issues are topics or subjects that impact many
people. They often reflect current events but also
represent longstanding problems or disagreements
that are difficult to solve

3
 Introduction

• Beliefs, opinions, and viewpoints can be strong,

and debate on these topics is a natural outcome of
public discourse. Globally, subjects including
climate change, immigration, and women’s rights
impact people around the world.
• Social issues are important research topics because
they help people understand that there are many
ways to think about and approach the same
problem, and they teach essential critical thinking
skills. 4

 Types of Social Issues
ANIMAL EXPERIMENTATION
• Animal experimentation, also called animal
testing, has contributed to many important
scientific and medical discoveries; many people
object to the use of animals in scientific studies
because animals are denied their freedom and
often suffer injury and discomfort; others identify
certain practices as cruel while still recognizing
the benefits.

 Types of Social Issues
CHILD BULLYING
• The definition of bullying has expanded beyond
traditional notions of a bigger, stronger child
picking on a smaller, weaker victim. Bullying can
occur in virtually any interpersonal setting. While
it affects young people as well as adults, the issue
is primarily considered in contexts involving
school-aged children and adolescents.

 Types of Social Issues
DEPRESSION
• Depression is a mood disorder that causes
persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and
decreased energy. However, depression is more
than just unhappiness. It can be severe enough to
interfere with work, school, and other daily
activities. Doctors also refer to this condition as
major depressive disorder or clinical depression.

GLOBAL WARMING
• The term global warming first appeared in
geochemist Wallace Broecker's
1975 Science magazine article, "Climatic Change:
Are We on the Brink of a Pronounced Global
Warming?" Scientists began studying the effect of
greenhouse gases on Earth's climate more than a
century prior, however, as early as 1820.

IMMIGRATION
• Immigration involves moving to a new country
with the intention of settling there permanently
after leaving one's country of citizenship. The
impact of immigration on receiving countries has
stirred debate among those who feel that
immigrants enhance a local population and those
who view immigrants as a threat.

IMPEACHMENT
• In the United States, impeachment refers to the
process through which a public official can be
investigated for removal from office, which may
also result in his or her prohibition from holding
future public office if suspected of "treason,
bribery, or other high crimes and
misdemeanors."

 Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar (Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar) 14 April

1891 – 6 December 1956) was an Indian jurist, economist, social
reformer and political leader who headed the committee drafting the
Constitution of India from the Constituent Assembly debates, served
as Law and Justice minister in the first cabinet of Jawaharlal Nehru,
and inspired the Dalit Buddhist movement after renouncing Hinduism.
 After graduating from Elphinstone College, University of Bombay,
Ambedkar studied economics at Columbia University and the
London School of Economics, receiving doctorates in 1927 and 1923,
respectively, and was among a handful of Indian students to have done
so at either institution in the 1920s.[1] He also trained in the law at
Gray's Inn, London. In his early career, he was an economist,
professor, and lawyer. His later life was marked by his political
activities.
 MOTHER TERESA

 Saint Teresa of Calcutta (known as Mother Teresa) was

an Albanian-born Indian Roman Catholic missionary
and nun who devoted her life to helping those most in
need.
 She founded the Missionaries of Charity in India in
1950, and for over 45 years, she ministered to the poor,
sick, orphaned and dying. At the time of her death she
ran over 500 missions in over 100 countries, including
hospices and homes for people with HIV/AIDS, leprosy
and tuberculosis; soup kitchens; family and children’s
counseling programs; orphanages and schools.
 MAHATAMA GANDHI

 Assuming leadership of the Indian National Congress in 1921,

Gandhi led nationwide campaigns for easing poverty, expanding
women's rights, building religious and ethnic amity, ending
untouchability, and, above all, achieving swaraj or self-rule.
Gandhi adopted the short dhoti woven with hand-spun yarn as a
mark of identification with India's rural poor. He began to live in a
self-sufficient residential community, to eat simple food, and
undertake long fasts as a means of both introspection and political
protest. Bringing anti-colonial nationalism to the common Indians,
Gandhi led them in challenging the British-imposed salt tax with
the 400 km (250 mi) Dandi Salt March in 1930 and in calling for
the British to quit India in 1942. He was imprisoned many times
and for many years in both South Africa and India.

rehabilitation of leprosy patients, disabled people
