Humans beings are generally social creatures. Throughout the world we form societies and communities which rely on communication and cooperation to survive.

What are Social Issues?
Social issues are problems that affect large numbers of people within society. A societal issue is any problem or behaviour that has negative consequences for society as a whole.
Types of Social Issues
Some of the most common types of social issues causing social disadvantage are:
- Discrimination
- Cost of Living
- Inequality
- Injustice
- Poverty
- Crime
- Homelessness
- Childhood obesity
- Social exclusion
- Overpopulation
While social issues are not the same as economic issues, some have a social and economic impact and the negative consequences can be extremely severe.
Solving Social Problems
Social problems are usually serious in nature. Many people feel prompted to find solutions to these society problems and tackle social issues wherever they arise. All types of social problems have an adverse effect on the whole of society and, as such, are usually addressed as part of a community-wide social programme or may even require government intervention.
All Resources produces publications that examine social problems from a variety of perspectives. We strive to provide tools and resources that help people tackle personal and social issues with skill and confidence.
