A social problem is a phenomenon, a situation or a condition that, from the perspective of certain groups within a society, does not work as it should. ... In this sense, then, what is a social problem differs from what is a sociological problem.
Malês (from hauçá malami, "professor", "mister", in Yoruba ymale, "muslim") was the term used in Brazil in the 19th century to designate black Muslims. They were often more educated than their masters, and, despite the condition of slaves, they were not submissive, but very proud.
Hope this helps :)
