Social Issue - Income Inequality and socioeconomic
Social issue is a general term applicable to a variety of situations and aberrant actions that are social disorganization manifestations. It is a situation that most people in a society view as unwelcome and wish to remedy by modifying by certain social manipulation or social planning process. Two factors must be present in social problems: an objective situation, such as violence, deprivation, societal conflicts and so on, whose existence and severity can be identified, checked and evaluated by neutral social observers; and a subjective interpretation by certain members of society that the objective reality is a 'question' and must be solved. Sociologists make a distinction between two forms of social concerns. First, social organisation issues that are generated by the manner in which the group or culture is organized. Community or culture creates circumstances which some members of society fail to recognize as appropriate or necessary or even unavoidable. Which include, for example, communalism, casteism, regionalism, racism, racial inequality, population, environmental disparity (various forms of pollution, hazards to health, etc.). Second, deviance things that have to do with people's transition to traditional modes of life.
While the US enjoys a standard of living that many nations around the world have unparalleled, not everyone enjoys the successes of this strong economic standing. Income and income are unevenly distributed; still, significant health inequalities across racial, cultural, and socioeconomic status (SES) groups have been recorded.
