The Patterns Of Majority And Minority Interaction

is formed by the concepts of race and ethnicity, majority- minority relations, racism, and race and entity in global context. The concepts of race and ethnicity are ‘defined’ by the historically thinking about race, racial categories, and racial and ethnic identities. Throughout time people are explained race through science. People believe that every race is different because of genetic differences that have been proven to not be real.

On the other hand, the sociologist has described four model patterns of interaction among the racial and ethnic in our society. Majority and minority patterns of interactions consist of pluralism, assimilation, segregation and genocide. Therefore, pluralism is based on when people of different social classes, religions and races are together in a society but have different traditions and interest. There are different real life examples of pluralism that goes on around the world. An example of real

Assimilation patterns differ in societies that are characterized by paternalistic race relations than in societies characterized by competitive race relations. According to the lectures and readings, assimilation is defined as a process by which minority and majority groups are merged into some total societal unit. There are also three different type of assimilation which are Anglo (or dominant group) conformity, the Melting Pot, and cultural pluralism. Some additional concepts that go along with

Only through socialization do they learn that some forms of gratification must be deferred and others denied” (Vachss).

individuals, three had very similar ideas of racism: the oppression of a subgroup by the majority group because of racial or ethnic characteristics. The other two people defined racism as prejudice. Each individual, however, saw racism as a negative element of society.

Here, the individuals believed that family

Summary #1 – Racial and Ethnic Inequality In the third chapter of the book Social Problems (5th edition) by John Macionis, it is explored the social standing of various racial and ethnic categories of the U.S. population. That everyone who lives in the United States has some kind of ancestors from some others parts of the world, but more than this, they have also converted this into a source of pressure and conflict, which eventually lead race and ethnicity inequality into a social problem.

They consist of pluralism, assimilation, segregation and genocide. Pluralism is based on when people of different social classes, religions and races are together in a society but have different traditions and interest.

(2013) summarize the program goals as the following: reduce anxiety in intercultural interactions, overcome ethnic prejudices and negative stereotypes, form cognitive and emotional empathy, develop an isomorphic attribution of outgroup behavior, form a common identity, and model positive behavior patterns in intercultural interaction (p. 40) Using models from social and

In order to see the social patterns, I needed to identify similarities in how social groups respond to social pressure. During my micro-level analysis of the small groups and individual interactions. I noticed a variety of patterns that existed which were race, gender, aging, family, class, and culture. There was a lot of diversity among the social
