  1. Ive just written an essay on this!

    There are all sorts of people who can be at risk of social exclusion. The easiest way to look at it is by looking at the reasons people are excluded.

    Exclusion reasons can be:

    poverty (including child poverty, whether absolute or relevant)-POVERTY CYCLE

    poor housing

    living in a deprived area

    disability

    OAP's

    consuming ability

    political

    race

    religion

    teenage mothers

    single parents

    abentee fathers

    access to services (docs, hosp ect)

    crime

    drugs

    just think about anyone who society 'looks down' on.

    hope this helps.


  2. Social exclusion is the vunerable group if this is what you are asking, i.e. a drug user could be classed as socially excluded and in being so be hesitant at contacting the police, where as a non drug user would be classed as 'inclusive' in social groups and not have a problem dealing with the police

  3. A vulnerable group is any group that is isolated or targeted. This could be because of disability, colour, religion or race.

  4. Ethnic or religious minorities, for example.

    The uneducated, the mentally ill, the homeless.

    The list is endless, as any one group can feel persecuted at a given time.

  5. A vulnerable group is any group of people or an individual whose education or quality of life will be compromised by either the exclusion or inclusion of another group or individual.

  6. White heterosexual males.

    There seems to be support groups and allsorts of committees set up to protect the rights and interests of everyone but white heterosexual men.

  7. The ones that can be affected i would have thought.

  8. This might be a stupid answer but I'm kinda new here...I'm assuming its a group that is vulnerable to attacks such as being made fun of or open to things that arent so socially healthy

  9. How could social inclusion be regarded as any cause of vulnerability? There is no doubt that social exclusion destroys lives of people belonging to already vulnerable whose existence could precariously attached to a society. The social groups form of people form minority religious standings, people with certain political views, age, gender orientation, disability, work, specific racial or ethnic backgrounds, all could suffer from covert social exclusion.

    But could there also be something wrong about social inclusion?

    This is the question that makes me wonder what you have asked this question. Could it be that social inclusion is in fact assimilation based upon majority or dominant cultural values, for instance, like melting pot wherein all distinctive characteristics of a minority culture are gradually lost? If people who need social inclusion are obviously the people who fear exclusion, or vulnerable people at risk of being excluded then they might end up giving away way too much of their uniqueness and original identity.

    At an individualistic or personal level, however, inclusion, in my view, should always be the desired objective. I understand the amount of prejudice some people have to endure due to them being at the brink, but what else could be there to support them.

  10. any group of people which does not fall into the "norm" of society this meaning middle class, working, white, adults.

    so examples of this would be:

    ethnic minorities

    elderly

    people with disabilities

    unemployed

    hope that helps!

  11. Everyone. Some more than others, but it is a mistake to think that anyone is invulnerable.
