TARGET AREAS OF CONFERENCE

 

Generally, two types of social problems can be distinguished. First, problems of social organization which are created by the way the community or the society is organized. Community or society produces situations that some members of the society refuse to accept as right or necessary or even inevi­table. These are, e.g., communalism, casteism, regionalism, poverty, environmental imbalance.

Second, problems of deviance having to do with the adjustment of people to conventional ways of living. These include, e.g., delinquency, drug addiction, alcoholism, mental illness, various forms of sexual behavior, bigamy, prostitution, vandalism and host of other behaviors, most of which are forbidden by law.

However, the conference covers much wider spectrum of social challenges. For this reason, the range of acceptable topics is very broad.
