The objective of this activity is to find 12 basic concepts of Ethnic Relations.
And also we need to find the meaning of each concepts that we find out.

The meaning of 12 basic concepts of Ethnic Relations :

Assimilation is synonym with integration where if someone integrates into a social group, or is integrated into it, they behave in such a way that they become part of the group or are accepted into it.

Segregation is the official practice of keeping people apart, usually people of different sexes, races, or religions.

Accommodation has three meanings. First meaning is used to refer to buildings or rooms where people live or stay. Second meaning is space in buildings or vehicles that is available for certain things, people, or activities. Lastly accommodation means an agreement between different people which enables them to exist together without trouble.

Prejudice is an unreasonable dislike of a particular group of people or things, or a preference for one group of people or things over another.

Discrimination has two meaning that is the practice of treating one person or group of people less fairly or less well than other people or groups and the ability to recognize and understand the differences between two things.

Enculturation is the process by which a person learns the requirements of the culture by which he or she is surrounded, and acquires values and behaviours that are appropriate or necessary in that culture.

Racism is the belief that people of some races are inferior to others, and the behaviour which is the result of this belief.

Nation is an individual country considered together with its social and political structures and is sometimes used to refer to all the people who live in a particular country.

Stereotype is a fixed general image or set of characteristics that a lot of people believe represent a particular type of person or thing.If someone is stereotyped as something, people form a fixed general idea or image of them, so that it is assumed that they will behave in a particular way.

Acculturation is the exchange of cultural features that results when groups of individuals having different cultures come into continuous first hand contact; the original cultural patterns of either or both groups may be altered, but the groups remain distinct.

Ethnocentric is synonym with racism based on the ideas and beliefs of one particular culture and using these to judge other cultures.

Pluralism is Synonym plurality where If there is pluralism within a society, it has many different groups and political parties..
