These social problems are usually socially constructed, due to culturally defined values ​​and beliefs, as well as policies. Change in societies and adaptation to new conditions or inability to adapt to change also leads to social problems. It is also important to note that although not every social problem affects every individual, it must affect a large majority of people for it to be considered a social problem. A good example of this is crime. Crime affects everyone at some level. It affects the victim of the crime, the person who committed the crime, as well as the society in which the crime is committed. From the functionalist perspective, crime is considered “normal” and is also an integral part of all healthy societies. While too much crime poses a threat to the social order, too little crime or deviance is unhealthy (Weineck, 2007). It is how society responds to crime that contributes to its health and growth, establishing laws and policies that form the foundation of society's values. An example given by Emile Durkheim regarding a crime that brings profits to a society is protest. Protesting involves a small or large group of people standing up to raise awareness about an issue deemed discriminatory or unfair. For example, take the protests that took place to raise awareness and pass laws allowing same-sex marriages. States across America have held protests that have sometimes resulted in violent behavior. The violent behavior that took place during these demonstrations symbolically contributed to raising awareness of the importance of this issue for a large number of people. It was during these events that issues such as same-sex marriage led to policy changes and revolutionized society's way of life..
