Answer:

Common Examples of Social Issues

1.Poverty and Homelessness

Poverty and homelessness are worldwide problems. According to Habitat for Humanity, one-quarter of the world's population lives in conditions that harm their health and safety. Many do not have shelter, a basic human need for survival.

2.Climate Change

A warmer, changing climate is a threat to the entire world. Climate change affects the entire world population, and the Union of Concerned Scientists calls this social issue "one of the most devastating problems humanity has ever faced."

3.Overpopulation

As the population of the world grows, resources become scarcer.

4.Immigration Stresses

People move from one country to another, and in itself, this isn't a social problem. However, immigration can place stress on government programs and social systems within a country, and it can be a divisive topic in a society. These immigration-related stresses affect many people.

5.Civil Rights and Racial Discrimination

Civil rights, or the rights of citizens in a country to have equal treatment socially and politically, is another one of the most significant social issues in America and around the world. More than 40 years after the Civil Rights Act passed, almost 60% of African Americans still live in segregated neighborhoods and 90% of African Americans report that racial discrimination is still a major problem.
