A subordinate group member possesses less control and power over their own lives than members of a dominant group. These individuals often experience social pressure and lessening of opportunities for success in comparison to the rest of society. In a split modern society, what is another name for this subordinate group?
  1. Majority
  2. Low-income
  3. Intellectually deprived
  4. Minority
Explanation
Answer - D - Minority groups are not measured by their numbers, but by the substance of the majority group by which they are evaluated. An example of this is the black people in South Africa who are not considered minorities if you simply go by count. However, due to historical circumstances and past political power, they are regarded as a minority group.
