Social issues are unfavorable situations that oppose society or a specific segment of society. They denote unfortunate scenarios that frequently cause problems and harm society.

Social concerns can produce many challenges beyond a single person's control. If you look attentively, you will notice that practically all social problems have similar origins because they are linked in some way.

To put it another way, if one gets resolved, the others are likely to follow suit. Social concerns have a massively negative impact on our society, ultimately affecting all of us.

We need a collaborative approach to address various social problems. No community is free of social concerns; practically every one of them has one or more.

We are currently dealing with numerous societal challenges, some more apparent than others. To begin with, poverty is a global issue.

It gives rise to a slew of additional social ills that we must address as soon as possible. Another significant social issue is gender inequality, which denies deserving individuals numerous opportunities.

The works of Iranian cartoonist Alireza Pakdel challenge existing patterns of behavior in society and urge reflection on subjects that a significant portion of today's population ignores. The artist attempts to address various subjects in the images below, including capitalism, consumerism, technology, and the harm caused by humans to nature and animals forced to live in polluted environments.

It is past time to put an end to these social concerns.
