issue
A social issue is a problem that affects many people within a society. It is a group of common problems in present-day society and ones that many people strive to solve. It is often the consequence of factors extending beyond an individual's control. Social issues are the source of conflicting opinions on the grounds of what is perceived as morally correct or incorrect personal life or interpersonal social life decisions. Social issues are distinguished from economic issues; however, some issues (such as immigration) have both social and economic aspects. Some issues do not fall into either category, such as warfare.
There can be disagreements about what social issues are worth solving, or which should take precedence. Different individuals and different societies have different perceptions. In Rights of Man and Common Sense, Thomas Paine addresses the individual's duty to "allow the same rights to others as we allow ourselves." The failure to do so causes the creation of a social issue.
There are a variety of methods people use to combat social issues. Some people vote for leaders in a democracy to advance their ideals. Outside the political process, people donate or share their time, money, energy, or other resources. This often takes the form of volunteering. Nonprofit organizationss are often formed for the sole purpose of solving a social issue. Community organizing involves gathering people together for a common purpose.
A distinct but related meaning of the term "social issue" (used particularly in the United States) refers to topics of national political interest, over which the public is deeply divided and which are the subject of intense partisan advocacy, debate, and voting. In this case "social issue" does not necessarily refer to an ill to be solved, but rather a topic to be discussed.
Hi Guys,
Has anyone seen this before? Its an often used S&W E series 1911. The linkage does not move freely and it's binding the gun up. Took it apart tonight and found those impact marks and noticed it does not move without a lot of force.
I'd replace the barrel, but concerned the next...
What I'm looking for? Milsurp firearms, esp looking for a RC or German k98k , or accessories like bayonets, stocks, slings, etc. Should be from ww2 era.
What I can offer? Some hard to find LE/HD ammo.
I got:
9mm: Few thousand of Speer 9mm 124gr GDHP. (keep in mind most is SKU 53730)...
well the witt machine muzzle break cut the recoil in half i say 168 gr pointed bullets are hanging up on the ramp chanber a lot not like the speer soff point 165gr
Other than the obvious running out of line, are there any issues that can arise from having less line on a reel? Like casting challenges or whatnot?
I don't think I'll be casting farther than 50-75 yards (on a spinning reel), so I'd like to just split a spool of 300 yard braid between two of...
I'm the proud owner of a NM M1A that is unfired (so far) that I got off a used rack. The issue is that when dry fired the hammer is against the bolt and the bolt will not open unless I take my foot and place the rifle butt on the ground and muzzel in the air and force the bolt open. When the...
So I reloaded some 300 BO for some tests using 230 gr berger and a 185 berger with 7-9 grns of win 296 for the 230 and 14-15 grns of the same. Shot it thru a BCM 9” upper with an aero m4 lower. After shooting 5 rounds of each I noticed the brass was flattened on one side. Anyone have an idea...
Hey guys - I am just getting into reloading and fired off my first batch of rounds this weekend. Overall everything was good, however, I had 4 out of my 20 270 loads that did not fire so I am investigating. Hoping someone with more experience could give me some input.
I'm using my RCBS press w/...
Hey all,
I'm curious about people's expectations for 300 Blackout AR pistols and cycling various rounds of different weights...
Here's the basic history:
Built my own lower (functions great, no issues)
Bought a fully assembled 300 Blackout upper with a 10.5" barrel and carbine length gas...
This rifle has always had an issue with occasional light strikes unless I was very deliberate and forceful in operating the bolt. This past week though I had it out hunting and I was getting FFF's way more often than my liking and re-cocking the bolt did result in the round firing. My go to...
So I was at the range a month ago and my (AR) cartridge would fire but it was not extracting. Brass was still in the chamber but expanded so I had to stop, get the RSO, and hit the buttstock on the counter to drop it right out. That got tiring quickly.
Swapped out the BCG and then no problem...
Recently picked up a couple boxes of this for my old High Standard, since the listed velocity is nearly the same as the CCI Standard Velocity (1050 vs. 1070) I usually shoot in it. So can someone explain why this won't fully cycle my HS? It cycles enough to extract the empty, but not far...
I've just discovered a bug preventing the unwatching of threads from the watched thread page. Working on it now, but it's a tough one, so it might take some time :confused:
I decided to try some coated hardcast for my 10mm/0.40 but I'm having the worst issues getting the finished rounds to chamber. I bought 200/180/155/140 grain bullets. The 200,155 and 140 grainers all have a crimp cannelure and those are the ones that are giving me issues. The 180 grain works...
Hello , I am selling a genuine late 1960's Hungarian AK-47 . I am unable to find the exact model and the markings are Soviet.These are heavy walled FEG fegyver (Automatishe) I believe this is a stamped late second or early third edition AKM . I have accumulated just too many AK's from both...
Was trimming a bunch of .223 brass last night, and every so often, the universal shell holder would just refuse to hold onto the case. Sometimes turning it 90 degrees would make it work, but most of the time, they'd just pop out of the shell holder. Now this is mixed range brass, so it's...
Recently bought an 8" CMMG upper for my Anderson Defense Mfg. lower. Had FTE issues with most ammo, but CMMG has provided excellent support. I tried new ejector and extractor springs with no success, but when I installed a new extractor assembly the gun now runs 100% with everything from...
What causes a 1911 to not feed the last round correctly? I have a homebuild 1911 that runs flawless other than quite often FTF with 8rd kimber mags. The 7rd doesn't seem to have that problem as often.
It strips the round, goes up the feedramp and will get jammed with the nose in the top part...
