Minority Group
A minority group is a category of people who experience different social, economic, or political disadvantages compared to the majority population. This can include differences in race, ethnicity, religion, or other characteristics. Minority groups often have less power and fewer resources, which can lead to challenges in achieving equal rights and opportunities.
In many societies, minority groups may face discrimination or prejudice, impacting their access to education, employment, and healthcare. Examples of minority groups include African Americans, Hispanic Americans, LGBTQ+ individuals, and people with disabilities. Understanding these dynamics is essential for promoting equality and social justice.
