There are several different definitions of social problems and many different lists of serious social problems today. As editor of the 10/11 edition of Annual Editions: Social Problems, I have tried to provide valuable articles on all of the topics that are covered in most social problems textbooks. Three articles are includes in the introductory unit. The first deals with the issues of the definitions of social problems and the major approaches to understanding these problems in a larger theoretical framework. The second selection provides a thoroughgoing broad critique of American society. It does not address one social problem but presents the author's view of what is wrong with America in general. Its main theme is that social life in America is extremely fragmented, so individual well being suffers. The third piece accepts the moral decline thesis and analyzes how America could re-moralize.
