Definition

Cultural group segregation refers to the separation of individuals or communities based on cultural or ethnic differences. This can manifest in various ways, such as physical separation in neighborhoods or communities, exclusion from social or recreational activities, or even within institutions like schools and workplaces.

Cultural group segregation can be detrimental as it can lead to feelings of isolation, discrimination, and inequality. It can also hinder social cohesion and understanding between different cultural groups.

Efforts to reduce cultural group segregation involve promoting diversity, inclusion, and understanding among different communities. This can include initiatives such as diversity training, promoting multicultural events and activities, and creating policies that promote equality and integration. Ultimately, fostering a more inclusive society can help to break down barriers and promote harmonious coexistence among cultural groups.
