Taking what has happen and what we can do to fix the o sociological viewpoints of the problem, then take the correct actions to fix the problem.
Social problems are very diverse how we deal with them are even more complex. Our issues in society stem from a cultural maze that we all grow up in which seems to shape our ideological viewpoint on the world. The base of this notion is characterized in what is the biggest social issue in society today, and that is social classes and what are we doing about it to keep the people at the bottom from bottoming out instead of progressing into the next level. This is something that politician bank on and use for political gain when they run for office. The strategy they use is to run on the biggest social problem that is in the public so they can appeal to a broad audience for influence. Doing that keeps them in office, but doesn’t fix the immediate problem.

From my viewpoint social issues are usually felt the most at the lowest levels. The needs of the people are what affect their daily lively hood. One issue that affects us all at every social class is our education system; this social issue affects our entire country. Our education system has been subject to the repercussion of the social anomaly of the past few decades. There is a huge problem with the diversity and attention that is being focus on correcting theses problems in our schools in the United States. The stigmas are kept at a state level so people
