Option 4 : Only A, B, C and D

The correct answer is  - Only A, B, C and D

  • A social process of being confined to lower social standing is known as marginalisation.
  • It involves people being denied their fundamental rights that results in lowering their social and economical status.
  • It is a situation when a particular social group or community is forced to live on the fringes rather than in the mainstream.
  • A marginalised section of the society does not get proper opportunity of sociol, economic and educational development.
  • Economic, social, cultural and political factors work together to make certain groups in society feel marginalised.
  • The stereotypical images about certain communities can lead to people discriminating against such groups or communities.
  • The land acquisition and forceful eviction of tribals from their land is an example of marginalisation as the tribals lose their source of income, lose their traditions and customs.
  • Positive discrimination is a form of discrimination that favours someone by treating them differently in a positive way.
  • It sometimes used to refer to ‘positive measures’ which aim to foster greater equality by supporting groups of people who face, or have faced discrimination so that they can have similar access to opportunities as others in the community.

Therefore, we can conclude that if a social science teacher is planning to discuss about 'marginalisation' with her students, then she is most likely to include the following concepts in her discussion:

A. Land acquisition and forceful eviction of tribals from their land

B. Stereotypical images about communities

C. Positive discrimination

D. Social, economic and educational status of a particular community
