According to a survey done of Americans, these were the top ten social problems in our society as of 2008. Please discuss which of these social problems you think should not be on the list today (in other words, they are not one of the top social problems facing our society) and which social problems you think would be included on the list if this survey was taken today. Make sure to provide supporting statements as to why you selected what you did (your own experiences and information from the textbook are sufficient for this exercise).
