Quick questions on Social inclusion and exclusion in the HSC Society and Culture depth study options
2short Q&A pairs drawn directly from our worked dot-point answer. For full context and worked exam questions, read the parent dot-point page.
What is the nature of exclusion?Show answer
Exclusion operates across several dimensions. Economic exclusion means unemployment, low income or poverty. Social exclusion means isolation from networks and community. Political exclusion means limited voice or representation.
What are causes?Show answer
Exclusion has structural and attitudinal causes. Structural causes are built into how society is organised: the labour market, the housing system, geography and access to services. Attitudinal causes include prejudice, discrimination, stereotyping and stigma. Power is central, because dominant groups often set the norms that define who belongs.
