1.Depresssion

In my opinion depression is not a social problem because it affects only a certain number of people some that we are not even aware of, if a person is suffering from depression only that person and their family members will know their  illness and only if it was diagnosed in a proper way,because some of the people suffering from this condition don't even know.

2.Smash-and-grab

It is a social problem because it has become a known trend especially here in South AFrica, this trend is influenced by unemployment, hunger and drug addiction hence it has become a social problem.

3.Rape

Rape is a social problem because the cause o rape is unknown for all we know it could be a psychological problem in a case of the perpetrators, but the reality is that it affects a large number of people to a point that the numbers  are increasing rapidly to a point that the government is imposing maximum punishment on the perpetrators but still women and children are still been victimised daily.

4.Fast food

This has become a social problem because people are dying because of obesity related illnesses such as high blood pressure, strokes, diabetics and heart deceases and so forth and all this illnesses are caused by the fats and sugars from this kind of food, government are implementing measures to cut off sugar from fizzy drinks and replace it with the substance that contains less sugar just to save lives.once the government intervenes it is a social problem.

5.HIV/AIDS

It is a social problem because a large number is infected and affected directly or indirect with this virus that currently does not have a cure, the government is popping up millions of rand's for the treatment of this pandemic to show that really it is a social problem not only in South Africa but globally.
