Fragmentation (sociology)
In urban sociology, fragmentation refers to the absence or underdevelopment of connections between a society and the grouping of certain of its members. These connections may concern culture, nationality, race, language, occupation, religion, income level, or other common interests. This gap between the people of interest and the rest of society may be: * Social, indicating poor interrelationships; * Economic, based on structural inequalities; * Institutional, in terms of formal and specific political, occupational, educative, or associative organizations; or * Geographic, implying regional or residential concentration. The author coined the term when addressing the problem of "hierarchy of oppression" within the feminist movement.

The perceived interpersonal differences engendered by this perspective may undermine group strength and s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
