Analyzing a social problem

Identify any social problem and analyze it using the objective and subjective criteria in the first chapter of your textbook. Why does it qualify as a “social problem” as defined within sociology?

You should discuss the following points:

What is the shared undesirable condition faced by people who have this problem? What must they face that other people don’t have to?
Who are the people (the social group) who have this problem?
By whom is the problem recognized as a problem? Are there others who deny that it is a problem?
Your submission should be a minimum of 700 words in length and should reflect consideration of course materials and previous lessons.
