	Social problems in Chinatown - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Such social problems have been the subject for several Hollywood police films such as The Corruptor (set in New York's Chinatown but filmed in Toronto 's), starring Hong Kong star Chow Yun-Fat, and Year of the Dragon with Mickey Rourke.
		Social ills such as homelessness and drug-related problems occur with some Chinatowns in urban areas.
		Social problems aside, several longtime popular and historic Chinese restaurants have also closed in the Chinatowns of San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Toronto, thus leading to the decline.

	Housing and Urban Policy
		The central issues are the problems of poverty and exclusion.
		Social segregation by housing officers has contributed to this process in the past, but it equally happens in the private sector where there this has not happened.
		The problems with high-rise blocks have been lack of play space, isolation, disposal of rubbish; noise insulation, reliance on lifts which are often dirty, vandalised or broken; inadequate water pressure, and insecurity because of fears of fire, building movement or crime.

	Social Problems Syllabus
		This course is a study of the social and cultural aspects, influences, incidence, and characteristics of current social problems in light of sociological theory and research.
		By social problems we refer to conditions that have a detrimental impact on individual and social well-being as determined by scientific, sociological analysis.
		Problems that will be covered include problems of social institutions (education, family, religion, economy, politics, health and medicine); problems of human and physical resources, the urban community, poverty, race, ethnicity, gender, aging, population and physical environment, and problems of deviant behavior (mental illness, crime, justice, violence, variant sexuality, and substance abuse.)

	Definitions of Social Problems
		This means that social scientists are capable of identifying and measuring social problems even though the public or policy makers do not view these conditions as problematic.
		Therefore, the constructionist approach argues that social problems research should focus on the definitional activities of politicians, journalists, and other claims-makers instead of studying allegedly harmful conditions.
		Social problems begin with an objective condition, some aspect of society that can be measured or experienced....

	Oxford University Press: Social Problems: Robert Heiner
		In six succinct chapters, it focuses on the four problems most often found in social problems courses-inequality, family problems, crime/deviance, and population/environment-analyzing each from a critical constructionist perspective.
		This approach, popular among many sociologists, helps students conceive of social problems not as objective situations that are "out there," but as socially constructed phenomena whose importance varies according to media attention and the needs of particular interest groups.
		A much-needed cross-cultural emphasis illustrates the range of possibilities in which social problems and their solutions can be conceived; alternative problem construction commonly used outside the United States is examined as well.

	Shirky: Social Software and the Politics of Groups
		Social software, software that supports group communications, includes everything from the simple CC: line in email to vast 3D game worlds like EverQuest, and it can be as undirected as a chat room, or as task-oriented as a wiki (a collaborative workspace).
		The social tools of the internet, lightweight though most of them are, have a kind of fluidity and ease of use that the conference call never attained: compare the effortlessness of CC:ing half a dozen friend to decide on a movie, versus trying to set up a conference call to accomplish the same task.
		Earlier generations of social software, from mailing lists to MUDs, were created when the network's population could be measured in the tens of thousands, not the hundreds of millions, and the users were mostly young, male, and technologically savvy.

	Social workers
		A bachelor’s degree in social work (BSW) degree is the most common minimum requirement to qualify for a job as a social worker; however, majors in psychology, sociology, and related fields may be adequate to qualify for some entry-level jobs, especially in small community agencies.
		Social workers with an MSW may be eligible for the Academy of Certified Social Workers (ACSW), the Qualified Clinical Social Worker (QCSW), or the Diplomate in Clinical Social Work (DCSW) credential based on their professional experience.
		Social workers should be emotionally mature, objective, and sensitive to people and their problems.

		The presence of articles written from a United States or British perspective is simply a reflection of the fact that there are many U.S. and British citizens working on the project, which in turn is a reflection of the fact that so many of them are online.
		This is an ongoing problem that should be corrected by active collaboration from people from other countries.
		Unless the case is really egregious, maybe the best thing is to call attention to the problem publicly, pointing the perpetrators to this page (but politely â” one gets more flies with honey) and asking others to help.

		While learning how to formulate, inspect, and reformulate problems, we have discussed how to formulate the problem of the oppression of women in such a way that it is in the interests of all genders that it be solved.

		Using sociological concepts, we shall examine everyday occurrences that come to be defined as "social problems" and thereby have a better understanding of their existence and solution.
