Question

What social problems does this image indicate to you?

• A. A poverty-stricken family.
• B. They have serious health issues.
• C. They may not have a proper shelter.
• D. There are only four people in the family.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

They may not have a proper shelter.

Lenberg defines social problems thus: “If individuals exhibit such behavioural changes that can destroy the existence of a tolerant society, it can be considered as a social problem.” Social exclusion and cyberbullying are some examples of this.

In the case of the family in this image, the social problems are poverty, health issues, and a lack of proper shelter.
