  1. social issues

    Social issues are concerns, problems, or conflicts that affect society as a whole rather than individuals. They arise from the differences in values, beliefs, and attitudes among different groups of people within a society. These issues can pertain to various aspects of society, such as politics, economics, education, health, the environment, and social justice. Social issues often involve injustices or inequalities, and they require collective action and advocacy to bring about positive change and address the needs and concerns of marginalized groups.

  1. Social issues

    A social issue is an issue that relates to society's perception of people's personal lives. Different societies have different perceptions and what may be "normal" behaviour in one society may be a significant social issue in another society. Social issues are distinguished from economic issues. Some issues have both social and economic aspects, such as immigration. There are also issues that don't fall into either category, such as wars. Thomas Paine, in Rights of Man and Common Sense, addresses man's duty to "allow the same rights to others as we allow ourselves". The failure to do so causes the birth of a social issue.
