Issues Becoming

Why and how do some issues become a social problem in our world today? A social problem is some aspect of society that people are concerned about and would like changed. Most social problems have two key points: objective condition, some aspect of social that can be calculated and subjective concern, number of people concern with the problem. Which states is the problem right, who says it is right or wrong and under what type of circumstances. An issue is something that needs to work out that can have long term or short term affect in many different ways.

Issues become a social problem when more then one person has their opinion about what ever the issue is maybe. The one thing that makes people turn issues into social problem is their common sense, people have gut feeling about the world and there is always a question in their minds why. So when you have lots of individuals commenting on an issue and other began to here stuff about it, that make others start to think about it and how it will affect them.

So that little issue becomes a social problem. Because of that one person who said this needs to put it out there. So they run newspaper ads and write their representatives, and when that happens it is over from there. As sometimes happens, the official response to it as a social problem, because the people have control now. Just like the example in the text book about the abortion. The stages of a social problem do not have neat ending and beginning point, their edges are blurry and they overlap.

For an issue to become a social problem people have to be upset about some objective condition. And the outlook on a question that has been taken for granted.
