Social problems, also called social issues, It affect every society, great and small. Even in relatively isolated, sparsely populated areas, a group will encounter social problems. Part of this is due to the fact that any members of a society living close enough together will have conflicts. It’s virtually impossible to avoid them, and even people who live together in the same house don’t always get along seamlessly. On the whole though, when social problems are mentioned they tend to refer to the problems that affect people living together in a society.
Sometimes social issues arise when people hold very different opinions about how to handle certain situations.
Poverty
A large section of the Indian society is suffering from poverty. Poverty is a phenomenon. The search for causes of poverty has lead to many answers. It has been located in the individual, in the social structure, or the culture of the people. For instance many people blame the victim and consider the poor as responsible for the characteristics or dispositions of the people.A detailed analysis of the problem of poverty shows that poverty is caused by multiplefactors. The social and economic structure in like India promotes inequality, and social disadvantages. The life in the poverty condition reinforces certain behaviour pattern, values and coping styles which, reduce the chances of upward social mobility.
Gender Discrimination
Women and men are equally important for the growth and development of individual and social lives. The women play the important role as mother and the same makes it unique, women are subjected to discrimination. Today the presence of women in various occupations and public offices is much more prominent than what it used to be during earlier periods. However, the Indian society has still to go a long way as for as gender equality is concerned.
Corruption refers to those transactions which involve undue benefits to some people who don’t deserve or are not entitled for them. Such transactions make some people recipients of financial benefits, physical and social resources that make these people capable of exhorting power over others and controlling the rewards and punishments for others.
, These problems are related to each other and it can seem hard to address one without addressing all of them. Social problem only affects the people whom it directly touches, It’s also important to understand that social problems within a society affect its interaction with other societies, which may lead to global problems or issues. How another nation deals with the problems of a developing nation may affect its relationship with that nation and the rest of the world for years to come.
The very nature of social problems suggests that society itself is a problem. No country has perfected a society where all are happy and where no problems exist. Perhaps the individual nature of humans prevents this, and as many people state, perfection many not be an achievable goal.
