After this past week of continuing to talk about defintions that go along with our broad topics of ethnicity and race, I came to realize something that never occured to me before. The term and usage of the word "minority" group had always meant one thing to me, a small number of people. Once I got done reading the assignments, and discussing about it in class, I realized that this was clearly not the case. When referring to a group of people as the minority group has more than one meaning to it. I then thought to myself, why was it that I had only known this term to have one defition? Was it a lack of efforts on my part to looking in to a term that I thought was so basic or was it the lack of efforts from those who taught me? I then begin to think for such an important topic, that effects everyday life maybe this is something that needs to be discussed more in schools.
