Social Inequality
Social inequality is when some people have more
money, power, opportunities, and respect than others.
This happens because of differences in caste, class,
gender, religion, ethnicity, or location.
Famous Thinkers Views:
Karl Marx: Inequality happens because the rich control
the poor.
Max Weber: Inequality is about power, respect, and
money.
Emile Durkheim: Inequality comes from unfair access to
things like education and jobs.

worship and living. Different people follow
different religions.

religion openly, which can make them feel left out or unsafe.

Gender
Gender is about whether someone is male,
female, or identifies differently. Society often
has certain rules or expectations for people
based on their gender.
Impact on Society
[Link] Roles:
Society expects men and women to behave in certain ways. For
example, men are often seen as strong leaders, while women are
expected to take care of the home. These expectations are not
always fair and lead to unequal treatment.
[Link] Gap:
Women are often paid less than men even when they do the
same job. This shows unfairness in how men and women are treated
at work.
3. Gender-based Violence:
Women and gender minorities (like transgender people) face
more violence, such as domestic abuse, sexual harassment, and
assault. This creates fear and keeps them from feeling safe and
equal.
4. Unpaid Work at Home:
Women usually do more work at home, like cooking, cleaning,
and taking care of children—without getting paid. This makes it
harder for them to do paid jobs and become financially independent.

Ethnicity
Ethnicity means a group of people who share
the same culture, language, history, or
background. It’s about where you come from
and the traditions you follow.
Impact on Society
[Link] Treatment:
People from minority ethnic groups may be treated unfairly in
jobs, schools, housing, or by the police just because of their
background.
2. Losing Culture:
Ethnic minorities might feel pressure to act like the majority
group and stop following their own traditions or culture.
3. Living Separately:
Sometimes, people from different ethnic groups live in
separate neighborhoods. This can lead to fewer chances and
resources for some groups.
4. Fighting Between Groups:
Different ethnic groups might fight because of past problems,
unfair treatment, or political reasons.
5. Government Help:
Governments may make special rules to help ethnic minorities

Caste
Caste is a system in which people are divided
into different groups based on birth. Each
group has a fixed social status and type of
work, which is passed down through families.
Impact on Society
[Link] into a Group (Hereditary Hierarchy):
In the caste system, people are born into a certain group and
are expected to follow the same job and role in society as their
family.
2. Unfair Treatment (Discrimination):
People from lower caste groups often face unfair treatment
in schools, jobs, and public places.
3. Bad Image in Society (Social Stigma):
Caste discrimination can make people from lower castes feel
left out, disrespected, and hurt emotionally.
4. Government Support (Reservation Policies):
The government creates reservation policies (like seats in
schools, jobs, and politics) to help lower caste groups get fair
chances and correct old unfairness.
