Q …What is Social Problem ? What are its main causes .

Ans; Social problems are the general factors that affect the society. Social

problems often involve problems that affect real life. It also affects how people

react to certain situations. People practice and promote social evils

(1) Unemployment ,,,occurs when a person who is actively searching for

employment is unable to find work. Unemployment is one of the causes of

social problems. It leads to the frustration. Due to unemployment, problems

like burglary, loot, murder, theft arises.

(2) Poverty

Poverty is the lack of a certain amount of material possessions or money. It

includes social, economic, and political elements. Poverty causes lack of

food, health services and others. Because of poor growth in the agricultural

sector, living standards in rural areas causes poverty. The growing

population has put heavy pressure on cultivable land.

(3) Urbanization

Urbanization is the population shift from rural to urban areas. Urbanization

creates enormous social, economic and environmental changes, which

provide an opportunity for sustainability with the potential to use resources

more efficiently. It is the cause of social problems. It is believed that living


in a city can provide opportunities, diversity, and marketplace competition.

As against this, there may be stress, increased cost of living, and negative

social aspects that result from a mass.

(4) Lack of education

Lack of education is one of the causes of social problems. People without

good education are at risk from a lifetime of poor diet, long manual working

and worsening mental health. Lack of education can have serious effects

on children and adults and can affect health, living conditions and social

situations. Due to lack of education, people do not take care of themselves

because they are less educated about topics such as family planning and

proper hygiene.

(5) Superstitious beliefs The

superstitious beliefs which are deeply rooted in Nepalese societies are also

promoting social problems. People believe in various traditions which would

not let an individual to progress. This happens because people are

innocent. They are not conscious about the consequences of their beliefs

and practices. Such people can be easily convinced and cheated. People

in rural areas still visit dhamis and jhankris.

(6) Gender Discrimination

Our society is highly influenced by gender discrimination. Most of the


domestic decisions are finalized by the males. Most of the time

discrimination may not be visible on the surface. Even our religious

scriptures are considered full of such stories which show women under the

subjugation of their male counterpart.

(7) Caste Discrimination

Lots of people are victimized in the name of caste. This happens because

people have been divided as touchable and untouchables. This sort of

discrimination occurs because the so-called higher caste does not regard

others as fellow human beings. They are not aware that everyone is born

equal. Lack of education, remaining stuck to old traditions, unwillingness to

change, lack of consciousness are at the core of such discrimination (

(7Lack of guidance to youngsters

Many of the younger generation fall easily to bad habits. In the absence of

proper guidance and counseling they are involved in various anti- social

behaviour like stealing, robbery, murder, kidnapping etc. They prefer

expensive gadgets just to exhibit them in front of their friends. They feel

proud when they give a false impression of being rich and wealthy. They

should not copy or get impressed by the false life of the celebrities and

expensive commercial movies. Parents, teachers and educated members

of the society should give proper guidance and advise them.


Solution of Social Problems

The solution of the social problem is to be found in the problem itself.

Social problems refer to any undesirable condition that is opposed either by

the whole society or by a section of the society. Social problems and evils

are the barriers to development and progress.

Nepal is facing a large number of social problems such as caste system,

child labour, illiteracy, gender inequality, superstitions, religious conflicts

and much more. A single person is not responsible for these social

problems. It is high time to get relief of these undesirable social evils.

Illiteracy and poverty are also the major root causes of social evils. We

have discussed the social problems and their causes in the previous

chapter.
