Question

explain any three origins of social differences

Answer 1

i. By birth: We all experience social differences based on accident of birth in our everyday lives. We belong to a community simply because we were born into it. People around us are male or female, they are tall and short, have different kinds of complexions, or have different physical abilities or disabilities. ii. By Choice: Some of the differences are based on our choices. For example, some people are atheists. They do not believe in God or any religion. Some people choose to follow a religion other than the one in which they were born. Most of us choose what to study, which occupation to take up and which games or cultural activities to take part. All these lead to formation of social groups that are based on our choices.
