| GCC Social Issues |

Therefore, it covers the other social aspects that are of special importance to the region, such as history, culture, migration, women, education and media. Under these main divisions, the portal also pursues other areas as community, deviant behavior, family, public opinion, social change, social mobility, social stratification, and problems such as crime, divorce, child abuse, and substance
addiction. Researchers in this area try to determine the laws governing human behavior in social contexts and in doing so provide in-depth insights to the society in the region.
