Question

The situation when people from a certain social background are denied to a particular facility is called ____________.

The correct answer is
Explicit Exclusion

To address the question, we need to understand the concept of exclusion and the different types described in sociology.

  • Complete Exclusion: This implies that individuals from a certain group are entirely barred from accessing a facility or resource.
  • Explicit Exclusion: This is the situation where people are openly and clearly denied access to a facility due to their social background. Explicit rules or policies ensure such denial.
  • Selective Exclusion: Here, only some members of a particular group are denied access, based on specific criteria or conditions.
  • Implicit Exclusion: This occurs when, without a direct or overt policy, structural factors or subtler forms of discrimination lead to certain people being denied access.

With these definitions, we can see that the situation described in the question aligns with Explicit Exclusion. This is because the exclusion is intentional and clear-cut, based on the social background of the individuals. Therefore, the correct answer is:

Explicit Exclusion

Hence, the most appropriate answer is 'Explicit Exclusion', as it directly refers to the deliberate denial of facilities to specific social backgrounds.
