A social issue or social problem is an unfavorable condition that has a negative impact on people’s personal or social lives or on various societal groups. People may have different views about these issues and how they can be tackled more effectively. For example, a social problem might be best resolved by actions being applied to the issue as a whole as opposed to addressing each person as an individual case.
