Question

Distinguish between SOCIAL DIFFERENCE and SOCIAL DIVISION.

Answer 1

Social Difference:Social differences are the differences and discriminations that occurs in the society. Many social differences are generally based on the accidents of birth. The differences between males and females, people having different heights and complexion are all examples of social differences caused due to birth. However, not all social differences are based on birth. Some people are atheists, some are God fearing. These differences are chosen by the people themselves.
Social Division: When socail differences become acute and one community is discriminated becasue of the differences, it becomes social division. Under such circumstances, one community is discriminated. For example, social difference between the upper castes and lower castes becomes a social division as the dalits are generally poor and face unjustice and discrimination.
