Sociology - assignment


Expert: dr. Cristina Carpinelli - 10/23/2009

Question
3.What do you understand by the term marginalized groups? Explain answer 250 words

Answer
I answer here two questions because I lost the first about globalization. Excuse me, please.

About globalization:
No. Globalization does not mean simplification and/or homogenization. In some cases, the process of globalization has exacerbated - as a reaction to it - the phenomena of regionalization or localism. Interdependence does not necessarily lead to greater integration, inclusion, cohesion. It can also lead greater exclusion and conflict. It all depends on “who” and “how” are governed global processes.

About marginalized groups:
A community is said marginal - by definition - when it is to exist geographically, socially, or economically along a margin, just along the ideal border that separates the society from the rest. Marginality of a group brings with itself the concept of the exclusion from one centrality, of which the group (marginalized) in any case is a part, even if very small.

Cristina.
