Problem
Unexpressed social compassion
Nature:
Because social care is most effectively maintained through large institutions, and professional workers care for the needy, the uneducated and the sick, non-specialists in social fields have little means of showing their concern for suffering people, other than by giving donations or voting for the appropriate party. At the same time, the many volunteer efforts at person-to-person service give volunteers tremendous satisfaction but are inadequate to meet the massive human need which exists. Broader Problems:
