Which of the following sociologically describes the notion of "minority"? |
numerically small group of wealthy businessmen with a heightened sense of solidarity. all those who are denied universal adult suffrage. aggressive unification of numerically smaller groups into bigger groups. relatively small disadvantaged group with a heightened sense of solidarity. |
relatively small disadvantaged group with a heightened sense of solidarity. |
The correct answer is Option (4) → relatively small disadvantaged group with a heightened sense of solidarity. In sociology, a minority group is not defined by its numerical size alone, but by its social, economic, or political disadvantage. A group can be a numerical majority but still be a sociological minority if it lacks power compared to a dominant group. |
