Read the passage and discuss the questions

Social problems are the general factors that affect and damage
society. Examples can include:
The difference between where human civilization was and where
it is today is mind-blowing*. In spite of our experiences and great
achievements, there are still a lot of social problems that annoy modern
society.
War, crime, poverty, global warming and so on… Our world often
seems full of dreadful warnings and predictions. How can we make
sense of it all and still dare to step outside each day? We must find
out what leads to these social problems, what effects they have on
our lives and societies, and what possible solutions exist for solving
them.
High levels of crime, homelessness, unemployment, poverty, drug
abuse and the lowest income on average in the countries cause
social problems.
There are no individual solutions to social problems. They cannot be
solved by teaching everyone how to manage them. In order to solve
social problems, people have to ask the right questions aimed at
the right causes. Moreover, if you see your society struggling, if you
see increased poverty, unemployment, domestic violence, gender
or racial discrimination, hold your society responsible without
hesitation. Social problems definitely require social change.
