The Indian caste system has changed in this order:

i. Castes are rigid and inflexible; people are born into a caste and cannot leave it.

ii.  A system of social classes based on birth evolved.

iii. Discrimination based on caste is determined to be illegal.

iv. Castes are a prominent part of people's lives, but people may have been able to move around.


Although the caste system in India officially ended in 1950 and the discrimination is illegal, this does not prevent people from being discriminated against by their caste even today. UNICEF estimates that caste discrimination reaches more than 250,000 people worldwide.

Contemporary India can no longer be explained and understood only on the basis of the four main castes (Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, Sudras) and the individuals who have no caste, called the Dalits. In contemporary India, Indians do not necessarily occupy the professions designated by the castes. Some Dalits, for example, have managed to rise economically and are consumers. In addition to the economic rise, another way of escaping from caste oppression, in the case of the Dalits, was to convert to religions that do not have the caste system.

vredina [299]

Answer

Yes

Explanation:

According to the Central Limit Theorem, the sample size, being n larger than 30, is representative of the Standford students´ use of the drug, in this case, being ecstasy. Another reason why the procedure works is the random sampling, where the assistants made sure that the only characteristic that mattered was being a student; gender, major being pursued, age, etc. were not of relevance.

Write a detailed entry about racial inequality
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Explanation:

racial inequality is not necessarily the same thing as racism, though the two do often go hand in hand. Perhaps it would be fair to say that racism is defined by a prejudice towards a group of people based on their race or ethnicity, and racial inequality is the result of that prejudice. For example, while it would be hard to point towards the racism of any one individual to account for the disparity between wealth in white families, and wealth in black families, it is nevertheless certainly an example of racial inequality. The fact that average black people have less money than white people is very plainly a result of lack of opportunity.

After all, we know quite plainly that while western culture (particularly the United States) values the “pull yourself up by the bootstraps narrative”, it is ultimately usually generational wealth that wins the day.

The racial inequality, in this case, is a result of the fact that African Americans started as slaves in this country, and then suffered through Jim Crowe laws, and other circumstance that contributed to a difficulty in establishing a foothold in prosperous circumstance.

It is important to note that situations of racial inequality do not necessarily pertain to every member of a given race. For example, not all African Americans struggle economically, and not all Caucasians prosper financially. In fact, there are countless examples of each case where the exact opposite is true. When people refer to racial inequality, they are talking about patterns that all too often manifest themselves in our society.
