Topics for Writing on Our Portal

List of Social Issues

Below is a list of social issues in India, which students can be asked to write about. Some of them are categorized under a list of social justice issues.

  1. Racism. This is a form of categorization where people from the same race identify with their own and in so doing they appear to discriminate others. It is responsible for increased prevalence of social tension.
  2. Gender identity. Issues such as homosexuality create a difference in the way people react in society. For instance, lesbian and gay bars are common social places where people with a specific identity interact, setting them apart from other people in society.
  3. Religion. Numerous religious denominations exist such as Christianity, Islam, and atheists, among many others. A growing trend has seen these religious gatherings interacting socially with their kind. Their gatherings are embedded in strong values shared by group members.
  4. Drugs and alcohol abuse. The use of drugs and alcohol has been rampant among the youth and adult, who end up abusing them. Consequently, drug and alcohol abuse leads to changed emotional and mental health, which culminates in anti-social behavior.
  5. Government and social life. The government is known to be tracking the activities of people in social media to prevent any unwarranted posts. Thus, governments around the world have engaged in creation and enforcement of legislation to control the activities on social media.å
  6. Cyberbullying. The social media has become a leeway for hackers to bully people leading them into suicidal thoughts. The stalkers often take advantage of the weaknesses of the users to drive them into harming themselves or harming others through blackmail.
  7. Social media propagating bad vices. Some of the comments or posts in social media often lead to behavioral changes among youth who glamorize immoral values such as drug and alcohol abuse, teenage sex, and even radicalization of youth.
  8. Education disparity. In the education setting, social classes have been set up based on one’s race or economic position. People from rich backgrounds attend good schools that have proper amenities. Those from poor backgrounds attend schools that lack proper facilities.
  9. War. Following the 9/11 attacks, Syrian unrest, and other global wars, tensions have been reported in social interactions. For example, Arabs that live in America have a high possibility of being trolled or even abused on social media. This necessitates the government to enforce responsibility in social networking sites.
  10. Materialism. Fashion has greatly affected the interactions among teenagers who gauge social class based on adherence to emerging trends. As such, they are least likely to engage with peers who come out as untrendy in the fashion sense.
  11. Family and single parenthood. In American society, there are cases of parenting that affects the lives of youth. Some have been separated from their parents who are either dead or in jail, leading them to be subjected to foster homes.
    On the other hand, other kids have been compelled to live with single parents, which sometimes affecting their emotional and mental health, which may, in turn, affect their social interactions. This is common in America.
  12. Obesity and social life. Body image has increasingly grown into a weapon that many youths can use against others in social media. People glamorize slim bodies of celebrities. Those who are seen to be fat are frequently embarrassed in the social media, which may lead to suicidal thoughts.
  13. Poverty and social life. A trend has been observed in the modern generation where a person’s social status is defined by their economic power. Thus, the poor are often perceived lowly in the society whereas those who are reached are regarded highly.
  14. The power of advertisements. Extreme advertising has created a form of brand loyalty where some people have been coaxed into buying specific products based on the frequency of the adverts. Even in some cases, they buy the products against their inner will.
  15. Procrastination. Students have a tendency of postponing their assignments due to the distractions brought about by their fun life. While it may improve their social life, it is highly detrimental to their academic life and most of them may end up failing.

  16. . INEQUALITY AND MARGINALIZATION

    Gender inequality, caste systems, marginalization based on race or tribal affiliations are all economic and social inequalities that mean the same thing: Little to no access to the resources needed to live a full, productive life. When combined with different combinations of vulnerability and hazards which comprise the rest of this list — a marginalized community may become even more vulnerable to the cycle of poverty. 

    CONFLICT

    Conflict is one of the most common forms of risk driving poverty today. Large-scale, protracted violence that we’ve seen in areas like Syria can grind society to a halt, destroying infrastructure and causing people to flee (often with nothing but the clothes on their backs). In its tenth year of conflict, Syria’s middle class has been all but destroyed, and over 80% of the population now lives below the poverty line. 

    HUNGER, MALNUTRITION, AND STUNTING

    You might think that poverty causes hunger (and you would be right!), but hunger is also a cause — and maintainer — of poverty. If a person doesn’t get enough food, they’ll lack the strength and energy needed to work (or their immune system will weaken from malnutrition and leave them more susceptible to illness that prevents them from getting to work). 

    POOR HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS — ESPECIALLY FOR MOTHERS AND CHILDREN

    Extreme poverty and poor health often go hand in hand. In countries where health systems are weak, easily preventable and treatable illnesses like malaria, diarrhea, and respiratory infections can be fatal — especially for young children. And when people must travel far distances to clinics or pay for medicine, it drains already vulnerable households of money and assets, and can tip a family from poverty into extreme poverty.

    LITTLE OR NO ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER, SANITATION, AND HYGIENE

    Currently, more than 2 billion people don’t have access to clean water at home. This means that people (which is to say, women and girls) collectively spend some 200 million hours every day walking long distances to fetch water. That’s precious time that could be used working, or getting an education to help secure a job later in life.

    CLIMATE CHANGE

    Climate change creates hunger, whether through too little water (drought) or too much (flooding), and its effects contribute to the cycle of poverty in several other ways including disproportionately affecting women, creating refugees, and even influencing conflict. One World Bank estimates that climate change has the power to push more than 100 million people into poverty over the next decade. 

    LACK OF EDUCATION

    Not every person without an education is living in extreme poverty. But most of the extremely poor don’t have an education. There are many barriers to education around the world, including a lack of money for uniforms and books, a bias against girls’ education, or many of the other causes of poverty mentioned here. 

    POOR PUBLIC WORKS AND INFRASTRUCTURE 

    Imagine that you have to go to work, but there are no roads to get you there. Or heavy rains have flooded your route and made it impossible to travel. A lack of infrastructure — from roads, bridges, and wells, to cables for light, cell phones, and internet — can isolate communities living in rural areas. Living off the grid often means living without the ability to go to school, work, or the market to buy and sell goods. Traveling further distances to access basic services not only takes time, it costs money, keeping families in poverty. 

    LACK OF GOVERNMENT SUPPORT

    Many people living in the United States are familiar with social welfare programs that people can access if they need healthcare or food assistance. But not every government can provide this type of help to its citizens — and without that safety net, there’s nothing to stop vulnerable families from backsliding further into extreme poverty. Ineffective governments also contribute to several of the other causes of extreme poverty mentioned above, as they are unable to provide necessary infrastructure or healthcare, or ensure the safety and security of their citizens in the event of conflict.

    LACK OF JOBS OR LIVELIHOODS

    This might seem like a no-brainer: Without a job or a livelihood, people will face poverty. Dwindling access to productive land (often due to conflict, overpopulation, or climate change) and overexploitation of resources like fish or minerals puts increasing pressure on many traditional livelihoods. In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) for example, most of the population lives in rural communities where natural resources have been plundered over centuries of colonial rule — while conflict over land has forced people away from their source of income and food. Now, more than half of the country lives in extreme poverty. 

    LACK OF RESERVES

    All of the above risk factors — from conflict to climate change or even a family illness — can be weathered if a family or community has reserves in place. Cash savings and loans can offset unemployment due to conflict or illness. Proper food storage systems can help if a drought or natural disaster ruins a harvest. 

    HOW CAN YOU HELP? 

    We believe that zero extreme poverty is possible, and so we’re working to tackle the root causes of poverty with tailored responses to unique circumstances in 23 countries around the world. By offsetting risks and reducing inequalities, we believe we can sustainably end poverty — for good. Check out more of our solutions to poverty here.

Chief Minister’s Urban Leaders Fellowship (CMULF) programme

 The present government of NCT of Delhi came to power in February 2015 on the basis of a manifesto crafted through an extensive series of ‘Delhi Dialogues’ with all sections of society. With an innate belief that the process of dialogue should be carried forth even after the formation of government, the Aam Aadmi Party-led Delhi Government constituted the Delhi Dialogue Commission vide its Cabinet Decision no. 2131 dated 27th February 2015.

Widening Gender Gap

Gender gap reflects the differences between women and men as per social, political, economical , cultural etc parameters in the society.

Recently it has been in news as the Global Gender report 2022 was released. According to report, India ranked 135 among 146 countries in global gender gap index and is worst performer in health and survival sub index where it ranked 146. While earlier in 2021 India ranked 140 among 156 countries. Global Gender gap report was first published by the World Economic Forum in 2006. It is an index to measure the gender equality. The 4 key dimensions or sub indices are as follows:

  • Economic participation and opportunity
  • Educational attainment
  • Health and survival
  • Political empowerment

India ranks 146 in health and survival, 143 in economic participation and opportunity, 107 in educational attainment and 48th in political empowerment.

According to the report :

India’s score of 0.629 was it’s seventh highest score in last 16 years.

India has recovered since 2021 in economic participation and opportunity

The labour force participation has decreased for both men (by -9.5 percentage points) and women (-3 percentage points).

The gender parity score for estimated earned income improved but the decline was more for men.

India has recorded a declining score on political empowerment due to the diminishing share of years women have served as head of state for the past 50 years.
