What is a Minority Group?

Video Summary
A minority group refers to a social group that is smaller in number compared to the dominant or majority group in a society. This group often faces disadvantages or discrimination due to its differences in characteristics such as race, ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation. The concept is not just about numbers but also about power dynamics, where the minority group has less access to resources and decision-making authority. Minority groups can play significant roles in shaping cultural, political, and social movements.
