Definition

Cultural segregation refers to the separation of different cultural or ethnic groups by physical, social, or institutional means. It can occur in various forms, such as residential segregation, educational segregation, or even economic segregation. Cultural segregation often leads to the isolation of certain communities, reducing intercultural interactions and opportunities for understanding and appreciation of different cultural perspectives. It can result in unequal access to resources, limited social mobility, and perpetuation of stereotypes and prejudices. Addressing cultural segregation requires efforts to promote diversity, inclusivity, and equal opportunities for different cultural groups to coexist and interact.
