"In a free society, government reflects the soul of its people. If people want change at the top, they will have to live in different ways. Our major social problems are not the cause of our decadence. They are a reflection of it" (Tomas).


Hello my name is Ariel Warden and I am a senior at the University of Idaho. I am an extremely busy person between school and work I can hardly catch a break! But when I do have free time I enjoy reading, hanging out with my friends and family, and just relaxing. I am writing this blog for my Social Problems class.

So you might be asking yourself, What is a social problem? According to 
ttp://www2.maxwell.syr.edu/plegal/TIPS/sp.html
a social problem is when a group of people in a community find a behavior undesirable. In order for a social problem to develop someone first the behavior as unacceptable, and then get others to follow their cause. Take for example sexual orientation, some people think that any orientation other than straight is wrong and therefor a social problem, someone saw the behavior as wrong and then got a group of people to follow the belief that being gay or bisexual is wrong. This blog is going to focus on two social problems crime and sexual orientation.
