We often talk about corruption as a social problem, though we hardly ever take into account sociology of social problems in analyzing it. However, a look at corruption from that perspective, particularly from the perspective of theories which accentuate the constructivist themes reveals quite interesting aspects of corruption. It inspires new thinking and helps to understand the difficulties which face those who are trying to fight corruption. The basic research question in this article is quite simple - why is corruption presented as a social problem and what are the consequences of such a view?

What is the role of aesthetics, everyday aesthetics in particular, in processes of solving social problems? Many if not most social problems arise from and affect our daily lives. As far as these problems contain aesthetic aspects, these typically are also of an everyday kind. In this paper, I address the relations between social problems and everyday aesthetics in five sections. I will start by briefly describing what I mean by social problems. Second, I will outline what solving such problems means. Then, I will move on to defining aesthetics for the purposes of this article. Fourth, I will focus on the main question, the potential role of everyday aesthetics in solving social problems. Lastly, I will drill down a bit deeper into my own experiences in this matter in order to concretize the general points and give examples stemming from my working life.

Due to remarkable transformations of the social reality, the concept of justice has been rediscovered in political discussions at the beginning of the 21st century. One of the objectives of the paper is to present Miller's model of a fair distribution as articulated in his book 'Principles of Social Justice' (1999). In this model the communitarian justification of the principles of social justice as well as their subject-matters are reformulated. Another objective of the paper is to show the relevance of this approach in solving social problems represented by hypothetical local situations.

The article analyses solutions to social problems from a post-modern and constructivist perspective. Operating on the premise that real solutions to social problems are rare, the author distinguishes solutions from regulations on social problems, which are here considered to be a form of collective behaviour, a trap in both the social and cultural spheres. Regulations on and solutions to social problems also generate new social problems.
