Social marginalization means being pushed to the edges or sidelines and not being
part of the mainstream.
Differences in music, accent, chattiness, sports, or clothing can lead to exclusion in
school or playgrounds.
In society, exclusion can occur due to language, customs, religion, poverty, or low
social status.
Marginalized groups lack resources, opportunities, and rights, leading to a sense of
disadvantage.
They may face hostility and fear from wealthier, educated, and politically powerful
groups.
Marginalization involves economic, social, cultural, and political factors working
together.
