Theoretical perspective on social problems
Stage 1: Emergence and Claims Making
A social problem emerges when a social entity (such as a social change group, the
news media, or influential politicians) begins to call attention to a condition or
behavior that it perceives to be undesirable and in need of remedy. As part of this
process, it tries to influence public perceptions of the problem, the reasons for it,
and possible solutions to it.

Theoretical perspective on social problems
• Stage 2: Legitimacy
Once a social group succeeds in turning a condition or behavior into a social
problem, it usually tries to persuade the government (local, state, and/or federal)
to take some action—spending and policymaking—to address the problem. o the
extent that the group succeeds in convincing the government of the legitimacy of
its claims, government action is that much more likely to occur.

• Stage 3: Renewed Claims Making
Even if government action does occur, social change groups often conclude that the
action is too limited in goals or scope to be able to successfully address the social
problem. If they reach this conclusion, they often decide to press their demands
anew.

• Stage 4: Development of Alternative Strategies
Despite the renewed claims making, social change groups often
conclude that the government and established interests are not
responding adequately to their claims. Although the groups may
continue to press their claims, they nonetheless realize that these
claims may fail to win an

Women and social problems
UN Women:
“They are likely to be the last to eat, the ones least likely to access
healthcare, and routinely trapped in time-consuming, unpaid domestic
tasks. They have more limited options to work or build businesses.
Adequate education may lie out of reach. Some end up forced into
sexual exploitation as part of a basic struggle to survive.”
• Women, poverty and social exclusion
• The potential of women entrepreneurship

WHAT IS SOCIAL IMPACT?
Social impact is a term that's thrown around all over the place, but there's no one-size-fits-all definition
for it.
The definition of social impact means any significant or positive changes that solve or at least address
social injustice and challenges. Businesses or organizations achieve these goals through conscious and
deliberate efforts or activities in their operations and administrations.
Your social impact is given by the number of people whose lives you improve and how much you
improve them, over the long term.

WHAT IS SOCIAL IMPACT?
“Social impact” or “making a difference” is
(tentatively) about promoting total expected
wellbeing — considered impartially, over the
long term — without sacrificing anything that
might be of comparable moral importance.
