Social problems, also called social issues, affect every society, great and small. Even in relatively isolated, sparsely populated areas, a group will encounter social problems. Part of this is due to the fact that any members of a society living close enough together will have conflicts. Its virtually impossible to avoid them, and even people who live together in the same house dont always get along seamlessly. On the whole though, when social problems are mentioned they tend to refer to the problems that affect people living together in a society. Social problems include, Suicide and Assisted suicide, Illegal Immigration, Religious laws, Racism, Capital punishment, Corporal punishment, Bullying, Drug laws, Tobacco and smoking laws, etc

Through processes of globalization and automation, the value and importance to the economy of blue-collar, unionized work, including manual labor (e.g., assembly-line work) decline, and those of professional workers (e.g. scientists, creative-industry professionals, and IT professionals) grow in value and prevalence. Behavioral and information sciences and technologies are developed and implemented. (e.g. behavioral economics, information architecture, cybernetics, Game theory and Information theory.)
