Which among the following is a personal trouble ?

Out of 100 people 2 are unemployed

C.Wright Mills, a well-known American sociologist, has written that sociology can help you to map the links and connections between “personal troubles” and “social issues”. By personal troubles Mills means the kinds of individual worries, problems or concerns that everyone has. So, for example, you may be unhappy about the way elders in your family treat you or how your brothers, sisters or friends treat you. You may be worried about your future and what sort of job you might get. Other aspects of your individual identity may be sources of pride, tension, confidence or embarrassment in different ways. But all of these are about one person and derive meaning from this personalised perspective. A social issue, on the other hand, is about large groups and not about the individuals who make them up.

Out of 100 people 2 are unemployed: This is more likely to be considered a personal trouble, as it refers to the situation of a specific individual or a small group of individuals.

Out of 100 people 50 are unemployed: This is more likely to be considered a public issue, as it suggests a broader societal problem affecting a significant portion of the population.

Communalism and Casteism: These are generally considered public issues as they involve broader societal attitudes, values, and structures that go beyond individual experiences.
