A trouble is, thus, a private matter: 'values cherished by an individual are felt by him to be threatened'. In contrast, issues have to do with 'matters that transcend these local environments of the individual and the limited range of his life'

classic distinction between personal troubles. Wright Mills's term for the personal problems that many individuals experience. and public issues. ... Public issues, whose source lies in the social structure and culture of a society, refer to social problems affecting many individuals.
Troubles are located in individual biographies and their immediate milieu, a seemingly private experience, while public issues are those that are linked to the institutional and historical possibilities of social structure.
Personal issues are those that individuals deal with themselves and within a small range of their peers and relationships. On the other hand, social issues involve values cherished by widespread society. For example, a high unemployment rate that affects millions of people is a social issue.
