Question

explain how a personal problem can be caused by a larger social issue.

Answer 1

modern thought and social movements focus on the interlinkages between individuals and their social-political milieu and argue that much of the personal encounters Andy conflicts have an underlying social cause. For instance, our everyday domestic conflicts can be seen from a feminist perspective also. Some of the practices around the consolidation of family norms such as differences in the ‘curfew time’ for female and male children of the same house, or promotion of Male children in sports clubs more than girls can be said to have an underlying cause in the normative practices of patriarchal societies where there is a hierarchy and division of roles and responsibilities between men and women and controlling the movement of young females at odd hours of the night is a way to Monitor and extend social surveillance. Thus, much of what may appear as a personal conduct and an emotional attack on our vulnerability may in fact have roots in the social and historical context of difference between gender or even ethnicity and race.
