These factors encompass personal experiences, cultural background, socioeconomic status, education, and media exposure, among others. Regarding the caste system, a fundamental social issue in many societies, starkly differing attitudes prevail. On one hand, some perceive it as an entrenched tradition reflective of cultural heritage, while others vehemently denounce it as a deplorable form of discrimination and oppression. The coexistence of such contrasting attitudes stems from historical legacies, entrenched power structures, and varying interpretations of tradition and morality. Additionally, socio-economic disparities perpetuate differing perspectives, with privileged groups often rationalizing or benefiting from the status quo, while marginalized communities advocate for change. These diverse attitudes highlight the intricate interplay of societal, cultural, and individual factors shaping perceptions of social issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong>Tag:<\/strong> Attitude.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_73 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69d3d20a74024\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-cssicon\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69d3d20a74024\"  \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/blog\/what-factors-affect-the-formation-of-a-persons-attitude-towards-social-problems-in-our-society-contrasting-attitudes-are-prevalent-about-many-social-problems-what-contrasting-attitudes-do\/#Decoding_the_Question\" title=\"Decoding the Question:&nbsp;&nbsp;\">Decoding the Question:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/blog\/what-factors-affect-the-formation-of-a-persons-attitude-towards-social-problems-in-our-society-contrasting-attitudes-are-prevalent-about-many-social-problems-what-contrasting-attitudes-do\/#Answer\" title=\"Answer:&nbsp;&nbsp;\">Answer:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/blog\/what-factors-affect-the-formation-of-a-persons-attitude-towards-social-problems-in-our-society-contrasting-attitudes-are-prevalent-about-many-social-problems-what-contrasting-attitudes-do\/#In_case_you_still_have_your_doubts_contact_us_on_9811333901\" title=\"In case you still have your doubts, contact us on 9811333901.&nbsp;\">In case you still have your doubts, contact us on 9811333901.&nbsp;<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-4' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-4'><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-4' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/blog\/what-factors-affect-the-formation-of-a-persons-attitude-towards-social-problems-in-our-society-contrasting-attitudes-are-prevalent-about-many-social-problems-what-contrasting-attitudes-do\/#Visit_our_YouTube_Channel_%E2%80%93_here\" title=\"Visit our YouTube Channel &#8211;&nbsp;here\">Visit our YouTube Channel &#8211;&nbsp;here<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Decoding_the_Question\"><\/span><strong>Decoding the Question:<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>In the Introduction, try to start your answer with a brief introduction on the factors that affect the formation of a person\u2019s attitude towards social problems.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>In Body, contrasting attitudes you noticed about the caste system in our society and explanation of the existence of these contrasting attitudes.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>In Conclusion, try to end your answer by what needs to be done.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Answer\"><\/span><strong>Answer:<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Attitude is a learned tendency to see and evaluate things in a certain way.&nbsp; An attitude refers to a set of emotions, beliefs, and behaviors toward a particular object, person, thing, or event.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>There are several factors that influence an individual\u2019s attitudes towards social problems. These include:&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Family and social background&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>Economic status&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>Education&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>Age&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>Occupation&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>Membership in an urban or rural community&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>Ideological views&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>Personality traits.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of these factors are interdependent. For example- people either support or oppose the caste system. These contrasting views depend on the interplay of factors impinging on one\u2019s attitude to the caste system. Members from traditional, conservative, orthodox and rural households may support the caste system. They are part of its hierarchy; their relatives and friends are from the same caste; they tend to marry within caste. They have no exposure to modern social or economic trends or occupations. In contrast, those with urban, educated background and working in far off states in modern sectors and meeting diverse groups will have weaker caste affiliations. Caste barriers are weakening, though caste based political mobilization is gaining strength.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another example can be drawn from history. Keshab Chandra Sen was an active reformer (member of Brahmo Samaj) against child marriage but he married his daughter below marriable age.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Attitudes affect our behaviour. Such attitudes need to be changed to ensure the &#8216;egalitarian interface&#8217; envisioned as constitutional values (Article 14).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/upsc\/upsc-essay?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Banner&amp;utm_campaign=Essay\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/UPSC-Essay-Course-1280\u00d7300-1-3.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42688 lazyload\" width=\"781\" height=\"182\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 781px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 781\/182;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In_case_you_still_have_your_doubts_contact_us_on_9811333901\"><\/span><strong>In case you still have your doubts, contact us on 9811333901.<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For UPSC Prelims Resources,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/upsc-cse-prelims-resource-centre\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Daily Updates and Study Material:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Join our Telegram Channel &#8211;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/WithEdukemy4IAS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Edukemy for IAS<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>1.
