<p>  Social problems run the gamut from family crises to global crises. While it is difficult to identify and isolate the exact causes of social problems such as family violence, global poverty, and environmental depletion, it is even more difficult to develop policies and programs that will effectively put an end to them. Using a cross-cultural perspective, this book considers various ways that we can hope to solve these social problems in the U.S. and other societies.  The book is divided into three parts: 1) Individual and Family-Level Problems looks at the immediate and primary impacts of social problems on individuals and small groups; 2) Societal-Level Problems examines problems of work, education, inequalities of race, ethnicity, and gender; and 3) Global-Level Problems looks at problems that affect humanity at large, rather than in one society or region alone.
