Summary/Abstract: 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.
