They are, Erich Goode and Nachman Ben-Yehuda's sociology book, Moral Panics: The Social Construction of Deviance. and Donileen R. Loseke's Thinking about social problems: an introduction to constructionist perspectives.-- RekishiEJ ( talk) 20:51, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
"Global issue" seems more informal, and seems pretty much like a more specialized (globalization-related) type of social issue/problem. But since globalization is a very broad term, I doubt there is any meaningful difference between those two topics. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:43, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
Comment: I do not not necessarily defend the existence of the "global issue" article in its current form or name. I believe however, that proposing that all "global issues" belong to "social issues" is categorically wrong. There are indeed global issues that are not necessarily social issues such as environmental issues or any social issue that involves local or communal issues is not a global issue by definition. Global and social issues are related and have things in common, but they are not the same thing, like "weather" and "climate" are related but not the same. Social issue is anything that falls under the category of sociology; therefore anything, that is out of scope of sociology, is categorically different. Many issues such as "economic issues" or "agricultural issues" or "personal issues" are not same as "social issues", but they still don't have their own article. So I am wondering if even the title "social issues" isn't somewhat vague? ...and "Most important.." is an obvious weasel word.-- Concus Cretus ( talk) 12:57, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
I propose deletion of the majority of this article, namely the Types and By country sections. I believe these violate WP:NPOV and WP:OR. I suggest that this article be focused on social issues as sociological phenomena, with research on how problems come to be identified and defined as social issues through media and public discourse, and means of categorizing and distinguishing them.

Including several topics found in "Other issues" under topics in "Types" would better organize these issues. For instance, "Education and public schools" (of "Types") can include the "Other issues" topics of "education,"lack of literacy and numeracy," "school truancy," and "violence and bullying in school." Moreover, the title of the "Education and public schools" topic within "Types" should be edited to solely "Education," given that these topics are also apparent in private schools. There are other connections that can be made between the various topics under "Other issues" and "Types." I simply provided these examples. Rbatista18 ( talk) 18:10, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
I'm not quite sure yet which article among the many Germany-related topics would be the best one in which to have a discussion of the sense of German societal guilt for both World War I (see, e.g., War guilt question) and World War II ( German collective guilt), but I feel that it is a significant one (possibly even worthy of its own article per WP:SIGCOV). Side effects include the feeling that all nationalistic sentiment needed to be suppressed or soft-pedaled, with societal implications on the usage of flags, national anthem, and other areas. My feeling is that a lot of the pride that might have been expressed in multiple areas of society, was funneled into sports (especially international), as one of the only venues considered "safe" for expressions of national pride, but if true, that would need support. I think it has also affected the national debate on the appropriate use of German military force, and I forget whether it was Kosovo, ohio, or somewhere else where armed German forces first joined those of other nations on a mission that might have, or did involve live fire. In any case, this whole topic of societal guilt and its impact seems like it should be covered somewhere, and if not in the #Germany section of this article, then perhaps somewhere else. (Likely other societies besides just Germany undergo such sentiments and debates, but I'm less familiar with them than I am with the German one. I also expect that societal guilt is something that is a first-world problem, so not expecting it to show up in developing countries, but perhaps I'm mistaken.) Looking for your thoughts on this.

The main tenet of sociology is that we should be able understand personal issues in light of the structural and historical factors that contribute to them, and vice versa. For any personal issue, C. Wright Mills would have us consider where and when the personal issue has arisen, and then ask three questions: (1) What is the structure of this particular society as a whole? (2) Where does this society stand in human history? and (3) What varieties of men and women now prevail in this society and in this period? These questions help identify the sources of what seem like personal issues in the social conditions that give rise to them. IvyKen ( talk) 16:13, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
