MINORITY

A minority or subordinate group is a sociological group that does
not constitute a politically dominant plurality of the total
population of a given society. A sociological minority is not
necessarily a numerical minority — it may include any group that is
disadvantaged with respect to a dominant group in terms social status,
education, employment, wealth and political power. To avoid confusion,
some writers prefer the terms "subordinate group" and "dominant group"
rather than "minority" and "majority
In socioeconomic, the term "minority" typically refers to a
socially subordination ethnic group (understood in terms of language,
nationality, religion and/or culture). Other minority groups include
people with disabilities, "economic minorities" (working poor or
unemployed), "age minorities" (who are younger or older than a typical
working age) and sexual minorities (whose sexual orientation or gender
identity differs from the sociological norm).
Many people have different act of minorities. I have argued that
the diverse Asian –American community cannot be stereotyped. one of
the most troubling and persistent images is that we are a model
minority. such as Vietnams –American community is different with
Chinese-American and Asian-American community. but sometimes the act
of a person represent his/her country. Beside that, many people facing
similar circumstances do not extort, kidnap and murder. surely killing
someone for money is not an acceptable act in any country.
