conceptual framework of social problem?

Answer 1

A very strange question.

Sociology is total CRAP but this might help answer your question:

Answer 2

Social problems are social in origin, social in their effects, and can be solved through collective social action.

A phenomenon is a social problem if
1. it affects a large number of people,
2. in ways that violate the social norms, and
3 it can only be solved by actions initiated by a social group or its representatives.

For example, if a butcher short-weights his customers, that is a crime. But, it can be solved by simple police action initiate by the local Department of Weights and Measures.

But, if spinach is causing e. coli bacterial infections across the whole nation, then all the resources of the public are needed to identify the source, seek a solution, and then solve the problem.

Every social problem must be analyzed within this framework.
