Objective element of a social problem refers to the existence of a social condition. We become aware of social conditions through our own life experiences, through the media, and through education. We see homelessness, hear gunfire in the streets, and see battered women in hospital emergency rooms. We read about employees losing their jobs and businesses shutting down as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In television news reports, we see the anguished faces of parents whose children have been killed in Afghanistan.
Subjective element of a social problem refers to the belief that a particular social condition is harmful to society or to a segment of society and that it should and can be changed. We know that crime, drug addiction, poverty, racism, and global warming exist. These social conditions are not considered social problems sociologically, unless at least a segment of society believes that these conditions diminish the quality of human life.
By combining these objective and subjective elements, we arrive at social problems.
