Describe the Social conditions of multiple streams
Social conditions that are not defined as problems, and for which alternatives are never proposed, never become policy issues and so come on the agenda of decision makers. For a social problem, people must first recognize it as such and become convinced that something should be done to change it. Further, it must be made clear that if at all, a bad condition is attributable to causes within human control and amenable to government solution-only then can it become a problem for public policy.
