"Other" is a term used to refer to something that is different or distinct from what has already been mentioned or identified. It can apply to various contexts, such as categories, groups, or classifications. For example, in surveys, "Other" is often an option for respondents to specify answers that do not fit into predefined categories. In social sciences, "Other" can also describe individuals or groups that are perceived as different from the dominant culture or majority. This concept is often discussed in relation to identity, where the Self is contrasted with the Other, highlighting differences in culture, beliefs, or experiences.
