A social problem is a problem that affects individuals of a society, irrespective of age, gender, and race. Social problems can be medical, educational, political, economic, religious and much much more. Quite often ineffective social leaders file these problems away without discussing the issue at hand. They think a disease will be cured without treatment, the economy will grow without progression, the nation will be literate without education, or that the country can defend itself without an army.
If every disease has a cure and every problem has a solution, social problems will not be present. However, not every leader has the courage to use the correct treatment or implement the most effective solution. In the case of HIV, it is not only a problem but a pandemic that has infiltrated the very fabric of our social infrastructure, globally, in every community.
What have we learnt from the recent series of The Apprentice?
We have learnt the necessity to be like Alan Sugar, constantly firing the ‘apprentice’ every week for the inability to respond positively to the needs of the community.
Let us tackle the root causes of such a pandemic and plan for the coming 20 years to eradicate HIV by using the Alan Sugar Apprentice Formula. We might even be able to eradicate it earlier than our planned deadline. We should be sweet, sour, and firm in tackling social problems. Rather than filing them away we should be firing them.
