Abnormal symptoms that occur in the interaction that is dissociative occurs because of the elements in the community that is not running properly. The result is the emergence of disappointment or difficulties experienced by the community in meeting the needs of his life. [1]

Abnormal symptoms are called social problems in sociology studies. While the problem itself is the reality that occurs (das sein) is not in accordance with the expected (das sollen) by most citizens. Problems that occur in society can be regarded as a social problem when the problem is related to the relationship between the community. It also concerns social values ​​and social institutions (institutions and social institutions).

Basically a social problem is a phenomenon or phenomenon that arises in the reality of community life. In identifying social problems that exist in the community vary between leaders one with lain.Sedangkan understanding of social problems by some experts are as follows:

2. The social organization can not regulate the relations between citizens in the face of external threats.
