Identify a social problem that you feel ought to be addressed and solved. What are the variables represented in your description of the problem? Which of those variables would you monitor in determining whether the problem was solved?
Explanation
Social problem:
This kind a problem arises from a society. A social problem is expected to exist till the needs of the people within a community are not met. In general, people from different culture living in a particular society may face social problems. So, culture always has an impact on social groups.
Public vandalism is problem that affects society significantly. Every city or regions need to curtail the ill effects of vandalism.
For example:
Consider a community within school, i.e. community of students. Here, school always has a chance of facing vandalism from the community of students. For example, vandalism in school is the property damage, which may be caused from different groups of students.
In this type of social problem, the probable variables that accompany vandalism are physical barriers. Once the school management is able to identify the barriers, it would be very easy to develop a strategy. More often seen vandalism is, students damaging school buildings to impress their peers, and for fun.
The above variables may be monitored to check whether reduction in these variables can lead to lesser vandalism in the school. A decrease in vandalism is possible when school management is able to promote their school and create an impression on their students. This will allow the students to respect the school and avoid vandalism.
