A social problem exists when there is a social norm that is defined as problematic by a large institution or authority. A social problem may also exist when there is a common issue in society and the PUBLIC defines it as a social problem. There may be a problematic issue in society but it is not considered a social problem unless a authority or the public defines and recognizes it as so. Also a social problem exists only when a issue affects a large amount of people.
