Sociologist Louis Wirth (1945) defined a minority group as “any group of people who, because of their physical or cultural characteristics, are singled out from the others in the society in which they live for differential and unequal treatment, and who therefore regard themselves as objects of collective discrimination.” The term minority connotes discrimination, and in its sociological use, the term subordinate group can be used interchangeably with the term minority, while the term dominant group is often substituted for the group that’s in the majority. These definitions correlate to the concept that the dominant group is that which holds the most power in a given society, while subordinate groups are those who lack power compared to the dominant group.

Vanyuwa [196]

This series of laws was called the Black Codes.

Most Black Codes were passed in 1865-66 in Southern states to control the conduct of newly-freed African Americans after the Civil War.

Depending on the state, they established rules regarding:

  • the legitimacy of black people's jobs (if their work was not recognized by whites, they could be considered criminal vagrants),
  • their right to own property (like land) or businesses,
  • their movement through public spaces,
  • their right to carry weapons,
  • their right to marry or live with whites, etc.

What are some social contributions of Asia
marta [7]

They are a positive demonstration of how to treat your elders w respect.  The unproven yet popularly believed invention of karate was a very positive social influence, as it not only teaches a sport, but manners, etiquette, self esteem, respect for others, & many more qualities I feel are important socially. They have produced many great musicians who have contributed to classical music.
