2. Conflict ------ In this  social problems arises from fundamental faults in the structure of society.

3. Symbolic interactionist ------  Social problems arises from the interaction of individuals.

If we see the over all answer it is concluded that, people who engage in socially problematic behaviour often learn these behaviour from other people. Individuals also learn their perceptions of social problems from other people.

To solve such problems it is necessary to move out from, those who is the originater of such problem. Always find the substitute example, If someone is a chain smoker then, he should subsitute it from the clove for the process of forgetting. Whenever urge of smoking is generated, then he can have a flower of clove to remove that urge.

Like wise learning , forgetting also proves very important for the behaviour modification or solving social problems.
