===== Definition ===== Spontaneous segregation refers to the phenomenon where individuals or groups of people naturally separate themselves based on factors such as race, ethnicity, religion, or socioeconomic status. This can occur in various contexts, such as residential neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, or social settings. Spontaneous segregation can arise from a variety of reasons, including personal preferences, cultural differences, historical factors, or discriminatory practices. It happens without the intervention or formal imposition of any governing authority or system. While some people actively seek out or prefer to be with others who share similar backgrounds or experiences, spontaneous segregation can also perpetuate inequality and perpetuate social divisions. It can limit individuals' exposure to diverse perspectives and reinforce stereotypes or prejudices. Addressing spontaneous segregation requires efforts to promote inclusivity, diversity, and equal opportunities for all individuals, as well as challenging discriminatory attitudes or practices that contribute to segregation.
