Patterns of Social Inequality and Exclusion — Sociology STD 12 Humanities — Question

Social Exclusion:
Social exclusion refers to ways in which individuals may become cut off from full involvement in the wider society.
It is involuntary because it is practiced regardless of the wishes of those who are excluded. For eg. Rich people are never found sleeping on the pavements like thousands of homeless poor people. This does not mean that rich are being excluded from access to pavements but voluntarily they choose not to.
