Certain situations that violate social norms can be considered social problems. They hinder normal societal functioning. Social problems arise from deviations from ideal norms and values. Examples include drug addiction, terrorism, and environmental degradation. What is considered a problem can vary between societies based on differing norms. Social problems are generally defined as conditions substantially violating cherished social norms. Causes of social problems include factors like social disorganization, inadequate social systems, and deviant individual behavior. Approaches to studying social problems include functional, Marxist, and Gandhian perspectives.

Unit 10 social organization and social systemDivyaPatel239
This document discusses social organization and social systems. It defines social organization as a set of differentiated activities serving a common purpose. Some key elements of social organization include goals, roles, norms, and sanctions. There are different types of social organization such as political, economic, and religious organizations.
A social system is defined as a network of interactive relationships. It consists of elements like beliefs, norms, roles, status, and power. Social systems can be classified based on factors like evolution, means of livelihood, type of solidarity, and culture. Mechanisms like socialization and social control help maintain equilibrium and integration within a social system. Institutions must also be properly interrelated for a social structure to be maintained.
This document discusses the definition and characteristics of social change. It defines social change as a change in the structure and functions of society according to several sociologists. Some key characteristics of social change mentioned are:
1) Social change is continuous and ongoing throughout history as societies are constantly evolving.
2) Social change is temporal, occurring through time and is a process rather than a single event.
3) Social change is influenced by and takes place within environmental contexts including physical, geographic, and cultural factors.
4) Social change involves changes in human relationships, institutions, economic systems and ways of living as it refers to human evolution over time.
This document discusses social change and the role of nurses as social agents of change. It defines social change as any modification in established social patterns and relationships over time. It identifies several factors that can drive social change, including geographical, biological, demographic, technological, economic, cultural, and social factors. The document then outlines some key features of social problems and how nurses can promote positive social change through health education, adopting new practices, understanding social issues, and facilitating better communication and social relationships.
Sociology originated as a term in the late 18th century, derived from Latin and Greek roots meaning "the study of companions." Four main factors led to the development of sociology as an academic discipline: (1) the French Revolution disrupted traditional social hierarchies; (2) the Industrial Revolution led many to migrate to cities and exposed new social problems; (3) increased travel exposed Europeans to different cultures; and (4) the success of Newton in explaining natural phenomena inspired applying scientific principles to understanding social phenomena.
This document discusses major social problems in India such as population explosion, illiteracy, child labor, female foeticide and infanticide, poverty, malnutrition, dowry, corruption, and alcoholism. It notes that these problems arise when people are deprived of basic social rights and examines some consequences like increased health risks for women and decreased female status. The document concludes by calling for efforts to jointly fight against social problems in India.
Social control can be defined as the formal and informal ways that society influences human behavior to maintain social order and conformity. There are several key concepts related to social control, including deviance from social norms, sanctions used to enforce norms, ideology, and the normalization of certain behaviors. Formal social control comes from institutions like education, government, and law, while informal control comes from primary groups like family and friends. Theories of social control include Marxism, which views the state as protecting capitalist interests through repression and ideology, and functionalism, which sees social order and consensus maintained through crime and the codification of laws.

Society is defined as the organization and relationships that bind individuals together in a group. It has characteristics like being abstract, requiring interdependence among members, and involving both cooperation and conflict. Community refers more specifically to a group of people living together in an area, sharing a common culture and sense of identity. Key differences between society and community are that society encompasses a larger population with looser social bonds, while community involves a smaller group with closer interactions and stronger feelings of togetherness.
Socialization is the lifelong process by which people develop a sense of self and learn the norms of their society. It occurs through several key agents including family, school, and mass media. The process of socialization happens in stages across the lifespan, beginning with the oral stage in infancy and continuing through adolescence, when physiological changes occur and individuals seek greater independence.
This document discusses different sociological theories of deviance. It covers biological, psychological, structural-functional, labeling, strain, and social conflict perspectives on what causes deviance and how societies define and react to deviant behavior. Specifically, it examines Lombroso's early biological theory, containment theory, Durkheim's functional analysis of deviance, Lemert's concepts of primary and secondary deviance, Merton's strain theory, and conflict theorists' views that norms often protect the powerful. It also differentiates between formal and informal social control and categorizes different types of deviant behaviors.
1. Social change refers to alterations in social order, social institutions, social behaviors, social relations, or other aspects of social structure over time.
2. Social change may be driven by cultural, religious, economic, scientific or technological forces and can include paradigm shifts or social movements.
3. Theories of social change include evolutionary theories of linear or multilinear progress, cyclical theories of rise and fall of societies, and conflict theories that social change results from conflicts between groups within society.
The document discusses family disorganization and its causes and effects. It defines family as a group of two or more related individuals living together. Family disorganization refers to a breakdown in the family system due to factors like loss of role models, parental overburdening, and conflicts between family members. This can lead to a loss of social controls and increase criminal and antisocial behavior. Causes of family disorganization include unemployment, poverty, lack of communication, and domestic violence. Effects involve mental health issues, low self-esteem, and risky behaviors in children. Improving rules, roles, and rights within families can help address family disorganization.
Social norms are rules that dictate appropriate and expected behaviors within a society or group. There are three main types of social norms: folkways which are informal daily customs; mores which are more serious norms essential to societal functioning; and laws which are formal written rules enforced by authorities. Social norms develop unconsciously in societies and are passed down over generations, providing guidelines for areas like dress, manners, family structures, and religious customs. Deviating from social norms can result in various forms of punishment depending on the type of norm.
The document discusses primary and secondary groups. Primary groups are small groups made up of people who have close emotional ties and know each other well. They provide emotional support, socialization, and encourage conformity to group norms. Secondary groups focus on accomplishing a shared task or goal and have impersonal relationships among members who interact only regarding the group's purpose.
This document defines and describes different types of collective behavior, including crowd behavior and mass behavior. It identifies key characteristics of collective behavior like being spontaneous, unstable, unstructured, and emotional. The document then examines different types of crowds like casual crowds, conventional crowds, expressive crowds, and acting crowds. It also discusses riots, mass hysteria, rumors, panic, and fashion/fads as forms of mass behavior. Finally, it introduces the concept of public opinion and discusses contagion theory as an explanation for collective behavior.
Define the concept social change
Theories of social change
Discuss the characteristics of social change
Discuss the following sources of social change
Cultural innovation
Rural and urban communities differ in their characteristics. Rural communities typically have occupations related to agriculture, lower population densities, strong familial and community ties, and more traditional cultural values. Urban communities are centered around non-agricultural industries and services, have higher population densities, more social diversity and anonymity between residents, and cultures that value innovation and individualism more. As societies develop, rural-to-urban migration increases urban population and influences traditional rural social structures, lifestyles, and values.
1. Social structure refers to the institutions and social roles that establish norms and limits in society, while social interaction is the foundation for relationships through people's responses to one another.
2. Statuses define social positions with expectations, and can be ascribed based on attributes outside one's control or achieved through effort, with roles being the behaviors associated with a given status.
3. Managing impressions and saving face are important aspects of social interaction, as people present themselves in ways that maintain their desired image according to the definitions and judgments of situations.
This document discusses various aspects of social control. It defines social control as the methods used by society to influence and regulate individual behavior to maintain social order. It identifies both formal and informal means of social control, such as law, education, religion, norms, values, folkways, mores, customs, and fashion. The role of these different social controls is to promote social stability by enforcing shared standards of conduct. As members of society, nurses must understand social controls and how deviations from these norms can impact health.
The ecological perspective is an approach to social work practice that addresses the complex transactions between people and their environment. A broad frame work that synthesizes ideas from a number of human behavior and social work practice theories, the ecological perspective offers a rich, eclectic social work knowledge and practice base.
This document discusses different types of crime and deviance including illegal and deviant behavior. It provides examples of behaviors that are considered criminal, deviant, or both. It also discusses sociological explanations for crime, including nature vs nurture perspectives, and why some groups such as males and the poor seem to commit more crimes. White collar crime is also defined.

It defines society as a group of people who share common culture, territory, and identity. Two main theories are outlined - the organic theory, which views society as a social organism similar to a body, and the social contract theory, which postulates that individuals came together through an agreement to form societies for protection and cooperation. The document also examines the relationship between individuals and society, noting that individuals exist within and are shaped by social frameworks and norms but may sometimes act in ways that undermine collectivism.
The presentation looks into the aspect of doing group work with women. The things explained in here are that of the objectives of group work with women, its formation stages etc..
Deviance is defined as behavior that violates social norms and causes disapproval or condemnation from others. It can suck people into deviant lifestyles from which it is difficult to escape due to social stigma.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

Such harmful situations are known as social problems.
2. These problems arise because every society has certain norms and values.
When these norms and values are violated, they result in social problems.
They are problems because such deviation of norms and values are dysfunctional
in the society.
Some of the examples of social problems are drug addiction, terrorism, youth unrest, juvenile delinquency,
corruption, offences against women,
environmental degradation, etc.
3. A society may consider a certain practice as a social problem where as it may not be a problem in another society.
This is because the norms and values are not the same in all the societies.
Definition
Many scholars have tried to define social problem but it is difficult to arrive at a commonly accepted definition.
According to Fuller and Myers, a social problem is “a condition which is defined by a considerable number of persons as a
deviation from some social norms which they cherish”.
Similarly,
Merton and Nisbet define social problem as “a way of behaviour that is regarded by a substantial part of society as being in
violation of one or
more generally accepted or approved norms”.
4. Characteristics of SocialProblems
On the basis of the above discussion and definitions, following characteristics of social problems can be
deduced:
1) All social problems are situations that have harmful
consequences for the society.
2) All social problems are deviations from the ideal
situation.
3) Social problems are caused by many factors.
4) All these factors are social in origin.
5) Social problems are interrelated.
6) Social problems affect every individuals of the
society.
7) Social problems affect different individuals
differently.
5. SocialProblemsin IndianContext
In the contemporary phase, India is facing several social problems.
We have the problems of terrorism, violence, offences against women, children and
minorities, unemployment, poverty, drug addiction, communalism, youth unrest,
corruption, migration and displacement, environmental degradation, population explosion,
prostitution, HIV/AIDS,etc.
These problems are the result of various factors that include economic, political, legal,
cultural as well as historical.
6. Typesof SocialProblems
Broadly, social problems can be divided into two types.
Social problems at the individual level and social problems at the collective level.
Social problems at the individual level include juvenile delinquency, drug addiction, suicide etc.
Social problems at the collective level emerge when the mechanisms of social control fail to
regulate the behaviour of its members or when there is breakdown of effective institutional
functioning.
For example, poverty, exploitation, population explosion, untouchability, famine, floods etc.
8. 1) SocialProblemsDueto SocialFactors
The nature of heterogeneous societies has been the cause of a number of social problems.
In heterogeneous societies like India, where there are people of several religions, castes, linguistic groups
and tribal groups living together, several types of social problems can be seen.
The conflict among the different religious groups has given rise to the problem of communalism. In
India, Hindu-Muslim conflict has been a major problem.
9. We have also seen conflict between Hindus and Sikhs and between Hindus and Christians.
Similarly, the caste system in India has divided the society into various groups.
It has led to the discrimination of one group by the other.
The problem of untouchability in India is due to the caste system.
Caste system is also responsible for the educational backwardness of the country.
10. Another social factor that may lead to social problem is language.
In a country where several languages are
spoken, conflict between different linguistic groups can be seen.
In India, we have experienced the conflict between different linguistic groups. For example, in
Assam and Tamil Nadu.
11. 2) SocialProblemsDueto CulturalFactors
Several cultural factors have been responsible for a number of social problems.
In a traditional society like India, some of the cultural factors that have led to social problems are:
a) Male child preference,
b) Patriarchal system,
c) Lack of regard for public property.
In India the value system is such that a son in the
family is considered necessary. It is desirable to have
more sons.
12. Another trait of the Indian society that has implications for corruption is the disregard for public
property.
This lack of respect for public property is one of the root causes of corruption,
black money,
tax evasion,
misappropriation of public goods and use of substandard
materials in public construction.
13. 3) SocialProblemsDueto EconomicFactors
Economic factors are also responsible for some of the
major social problems being faced by the contemporary
society.
It is more conspicuous in societies of developing
countries like India.
Unequal distribution of wealth has led to disparity in the distribution of benefits occurring due to
development.
As a result there is the problem of poverty.
Poverty in turn aggravates other problems like high morbidity and mortality, crime, slum, illiteracy,
etc.
14. 3) SocialProblemsDueto Economic Factors
Economic factors are also responsible for some of the major social problems being faced by
the contemporary society.
It is more conspicuous in societies of developing
countries like India.
Unequal distribution of wealth has led to disparity in the distribution of benefits occurring
due to development. As a result there is the problem of poverty.
Poverty in turn aggravates other problems like
high morbidity and mortality, crime, slum, illiteracy,
etc.
15. Further, the process of urbanisation and
industrialisation in India has been very slow.
This has resulted in regional disparity in economic development.
There are pockets of development where high level of urban and industrial growth can be seen.
However, the other regions are still under-developed. It has attracted large number of people to
migrate from the underdeveloped
region to the developed region.
This in turn has affected the population structure of both the regions.
In addition to it, the regions receiving the migrants, are facing the problems of slum, congestion,
unemployment, pollution, etc.
16. 4) SocialProblemsDueto PoliticalandLegalFactors
Some of the political factors that may cause social problems include electoral politics, political
functioning, corruption, etc.
In order to win elections and come to power, political parties do not shy away from using communal or
parochial modes of mobilisation like caste,religion,andlanguage.
Even some of the decisions taken by the ruling party may lead to social problem as they may benefit a
particular section of the society at the cost of the entire society.
Another problem is the increasing political corruption. Leaders are found indulging in nepotism and
red-tapism.
They are also seen accepting money in return of some favour.
17. 5) SocialProblemsDueto EcologicalFactors
The ecological consequence of such an attempt has now emerged as a major social problem.
Rapid industrialisation has led to increase in environmental pollution that includes air pollution, water
pollution, noise pollution, and degradation and desertification of the land.
This in turn has led to increased morbidity and mortality, emergence of new types of diseases, global
warming, ozone depletion, floods etc.
that has threatened the existence of mankind itself. Further, to feed the increasing population of the world
more and more land is being brought under cultivation. This has disturbed the global ecological balance.
Application of modern technological inputs in agriculture like the pesticides, weedicides, insecticides, high
yielding variety of seeds, genetically modified crops are threatening the biodiversity of the world
18. SystemicFactorsLeadingto SocialProblems
According to Merton, social problems may arise because of social disorganisation or because of the deviant
behaviour of the individual.
For example, in all societies consensus exists on values and interests. Whenever this degree of unanimity is
disturbed by conflicting interests, we find trends of disorganisation in that particular society.
Similarly, inadequacies in the social system also cause social problems.
Society develops formal and informal mechanism of social control to regulate behaviours of its members.
Whenever, these mechanisms do not work in an effective manner, the trends of disorganisation become visible
in the society.
19. Social disorganisation is thus manifested in a variety of contexts such as the breakdown in
theeffective institutional functioning,
disorganisation of family, marital breakdown, poverty, violence, crime, population explosion
andcommunitydisorganisationlikeyouthunrest.
Deviant behaviour is reflected in the violation of norms, values and moral codes.
In every society there is a commonly agreed idea of normal behaviour. Whenever someone
moves away from the accepted norm and behaves differently, that behaviour may be
regarded as abnormal or deviant behaviour.
Juvenile delinquency, drug addiction, suicide and prostitution are some of its example.
20. Approachesto theStudyof SocialProblems
The contemporary period has seen a remarkable shift in the way a social problem is perceived by the
society.
Earlier social problems and their origin were explained with a focus on the individual.
The cause of such problems was seen in the genetic make up of the individual and was believed to be
beyond redemption.
Now the emphasis is on the social, economic, political, and cultural or on the structural factors.
Thus, the
.
21. contemporary approach views the cause of the social problem at the collective level and not at the individual
level.
Further, earlier emphasis was on the maintenance of social order and preservation of equilibrium that used
to make social change a suspect phenomenon.
Now, it is accepted that strains and social problems emerge due to contradictions existing in the social
system which can be sorted out by removing these contradictions.
At present, there are two important approaches to study the nature and genesis of social problems.
They are:
Functional approach,
Marxist approach, and
Gandhian approach
22. TheFunctionalApproach
This approach views the society as a system.
A system is a set of interconnected parts that together form a whole.
The basic unit of analysis is society and its various parts are understood in terms of their relationship to the whole.
Thus, social institutions like family, religion and marriage are the parts that constitute the whole, that is, the
society.
Functionalists see such social institutions only as a part of the society and not as an isolated unit.
The parts of the society are functional if they maintain the system and contribute to its healthy survival.
If any part hinders the normal functioning of the society or threatens its existence then it becomes dysfunctional.
23. According to the Functionalists, the concept of dysfunction is of vital importance in the modern study
of social problems.
Some of the important Functionalists are Auguste Comte, Herbert Spencer, Emile Durkheim, Talcott
Parsons and R.K. Merton.
According to Merton, the study of social problems requires a focus on the dysfunctions of patterns of
behaviour, belief and organisation in the society.
Such social dysfunctions arise because of a specific inadequacy of a part of the system for meeting a
functional requirement.
For example, the shift from joint family to nuclear family as a result of industrialisation and
urbanisation is dysfunctional for the care of the elderly population. As a result, care for the people in
the old age has become a social problem.
24. The same social pattern can be dysfunctional for some and functional for other in a social system.
For example, a large dam may be functional for the people who get benefited from it but is dysfunctional for those who
get displaced by it.
The accumulation of dysfunctions disturbs the social stability and creates new social problems.
Further, the society develops certain codes of norms and values to maintain equilibrium between the different parts.
However, at times, certain circumstances are generated which infringe such social codes. This causes social problems like
communalism.
25. MarxistApproach
The Marxists believe that in all societies except the primitive societies and in the Communist societies, the
society is divided into two classes---the ruling class and the ruled class. The ruling class is a minority but
exploits the ruled class who is in majority. For example, in the feudal society, lords exploit their serfs. In
capitalist society, the capitalists exploit their workers.
This leads to a fundamental conflict of interest between these two classes since, one gains at the expense of
the other. So all these societies contain some basic contradictions. Therefore, they cannot survive in their
existing form. According to the Marxists, the social problems in the society are due to contradictions
inherent in the system itself.
26. According to Marx, some of the social problems in the
capitalist society are:
Exploitation of a man by man,
Alienation,
Inequality, and
Poverty
27. In order to maximise their profit, the capitalists tend to pay the minimum possible wages to the workers
and try to extract the maximum labour from them.
In this way the capitalists exploit the workers, as they do not give them their due.
The workers do not have any say in the production process. They are supposed to produce commodities as
desired by the capitalists.
So they get alienated from their own products. The units of production in the society are unequally
distributed. This leads to inequality in the society.
This inequality goes on increasing as the capitalists go on becoming richer and the workers go on
becoming poorer.
With the concentration of wealth in the hands of the capitalists, there is increase in poverty
28. GandhianApproach
Gandhi gave an altogether different perspective to the understanding of the social problems. His views on social
problems are contained in his ideas of sarvodaya and swaraj. Gandhi’s views are based on the values of truth and non-
violence.
Gandhi regarded society to be a unified organisation.
Thus he was not in agreement with the Marxists.
According to Gandhi, though the interests of different classes may clash, the fact of conflict of interest does not assume
primacy over the unity of the community.
Thus, the unity of purpose of the whole community is predominant in Gandhian explanation.
Cooperation rather than conflict is the chief characteristic of the society.
Different classes forming a community work together or cooperate to achieve the well being of the community as a
whole.
29. Gandhi rejected the view that by reorganising society
economically, the social, political and cultural problems would end.
Simply economic restructuring of the society cannot ensure solution to social problems.
The changes to be brought should be all pervasive.
Radical changes have to be brought about in economic, social, political and cultural spheres of the community.
The Gandhi aapproach opposes the theory of violent revolution and coercive change.
The revolution has to be a gradual process and should be brought about by awakening of masses.
Thus, a programme of social, economic, cultural and political awakening of the masses has to be undertaken to overcome
the social problems.
30. Gandhi was opposed to the introduction of vast economic, social and cultural changes through legislation.
The society must change itself gradually by its own initiative and efforts.
Legislation may facilitate the changes when society itself is moving in the same direction. Changes should not be imposed
on the society.
Gandhian approach offers a critique of the existing order, propounds certain basic elements of a new society and provides
a methodology for solving social problems.
Critics have argued that Gandhian approach lacks originality and is a combination of the traditional Indian thinking,
welfare thinking and liberalism.
It is idealistic and divorced from the hard social realities.
However, it must be remembered that it was applied successfully by blacks in the USA and in South Africa and even by
the people in the Eastern Europe to fight against communalism.
