A social problem is a condition that at least some people in a community view as being undesirable. Everyone would agree about some social problems, such as murders and DWI traffic deaths.

traditions for Sudanese people in the historical context of colonial influence. Despite the fact that British imperialism has put its prominent contribution into the formation of modern Sudanese ideologies, it was not powerful enough in order to modify the existed culture. Likewise, Boddy provides a clear argument by referring to parallels between critics of FGM and the British imperialists through a racial implication and tragedy of the colonized. She truly explains why the practice of circumcision

THE USES OF REASON by Jonah Lehrer The summer of 1949 had been long and dry in Montana; the grassy highlands were like tinder. On the afternoon of August 5—the hottest day ever recorded in the area—a stray bolt of lightning set the ground on fire. A parachute brigade of firefighters, known as smokejumpers, was dispatched to put out the blaze. Wag Dodge, a veteran with nine years of smokejumping experience, was in charge.

Interactive I have long been a big fan of Dr. Cialdini. I originally became familiar with his work years ago through, “Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion”. It’s a must read. It gave me useful tools to use for marketing to others and taught me how to resist the marketing efforts of others.
