SOCIAL PROBLEMS AND PHENOMENON
A social problem is an issue within the
society that makes it difficult for people to
achieve their full potential.
Social problems tend to develop when we
become neglectful and fail to see that
serious problems are developing.

A problem is a condition of discontentment resented
by someone. But when it is resented by many people,
it becomes a social problem.
For a problem to be social, it must involve a large
number of people, sometimes groups and institutions,
who consider a particular condition as undesirable
and intolerable and want to correct through a
collective action.

Social problem is a generic term applied to a range
of conditions and aberrant behaviors which are
manifestations of social disorganization.
It is a condition which most people in a society
consider undesirable and want to correct by
changing through some means of social engineering
or social planning (Oxford Dictionary of Sociology,
‖
1994

Different Authors

Fuller and Myers (1941)
Those conditions or situations which members
of the society regard as a threat to their values’.
Elucidating their ideas, they said at other place
that it is ‘a condition which is defined by a
considerable number of persons as a deviation
from some social norms which they cherish’.

Reinhardt
‘A situation confronting a group or a section of
society which inflicts injurious consequences that
can be handled only collectively.’

Raab and Selznick (1959)

A way of behavior that is regarded by a
substantial part of a social order as being in
violation of one or more generally accepted
or approved norms‘.

Walsh and Furfey
A social problem as a ‘deviation from the
social ideal remediable by group effort‘.

Horton and Leslie (1970)
A social problem is ‘a condition which many
people consider undesirable and want to correct.
It is a condition affecting a significant number of
people in ways considered undesirable, about
which it is felt that something can be done
through collective measures.’
