List Below (We have 3 categories Physical Health, Mental Health, Social Issues) 

​

​

1. Physical Health 

Public awareness is important for many obvious reasons. But when it comes to health issues, it’s a necessity. Not being aware of illness or the ways one can become ill is extremely problematic in a society where health issues are a serious problem.

If you look at the statistics, pharmaceutical companies are in demand more now than ever and health care insurance is at the top of our countries agenda.We all know something about certain diseases. Like how bad they are, when there’s a breakout or what it means when a friend or family member gets sick. But that’s mostly all we know – the face value, doom and gloom of it all. Everyone needs to know there’s help thanks to medical advancements, there are new treatment programs on trial, support groups, and medical insurance available.

Raising awareness of health issues is important because many of our societies are directly affected by it, and yet hugely misinformed! Do we bother to know things about the organizations that are out there and who are dedicated to helping those who are sick?

2. Mental Health

There is a difference between getting butterflies in your stomach before an exam, and not being able to get out of bed because you are petrified of failing. The fear of failing can be so crippling that actually attempting the exam feels literally impossible.  There is a difference between having a few down days where you wonder what is going on and what the purpose of life is, and wondering if life is really worth living and if death is truly the only way out. There is a difference between a lot of what we consider “normal” and what we have begun to notice is a mental health concern. We have learned that a lot of these concerns are not things that people willingly choose to struggle with, but rather that their body functions in such a way that they cannot seem to overcome their struggles on their own. It is important to raise awareness so that we do not dismiss our friend’s “low period” with him as just being in a funk, or we do not tell our family member that everyone struggles with anxiety and they need to get over theirs. Raising awareness means giving people the freedom to feel, and to know that it is okay to seek help. This can cover depression, anxiety, eating disorders, anger, perfectionism, procrastination… this list truly can go on and on. We need to raise awareness so that those who are struggling and battling alone know that they can journey with others through these challenges.

3. Social Health  

The word “social” deals with how we interact as human beings in a group. It also covers things like how we live or like to live with other people, and how we interact with community companionship or company.

​

What are social problems

Social problems are the general factors that affect and damage society. A social problem is normally a term used to describe problems with a particular area or group of people in the world. Social problems often involve problems that affect the real world. It also affects how people react to certain situations.

​

Examples of Social Problems

Social problems today are what we never used to encounter years back. Each day, they are getting worst and worst. For example, health problem is a social issue because the number of patients is increasing who are being diagnosed from life threatening diseases like AIDS and cancer. Due to lack of proper healthcare reform, this problem has taken the form of a social issue.

​

Another example is the situation of teens. They have to frequently get exposed to the society that is full of misguidance. Within less time, they become involved in alcohol abuse, eating disorders and even stress. They often commit suicides. In America, 8 teens die each day because of drunk driving. That is not the only issue teens have to face, they even have to encounter violence. One in two rape victims is an individual who is under the age of 18. That shows even the society is not safe for the teens.
