Definition of segregation

segregationnoun

sự tách biệt

/ˌseɡrɪˈɡeɪʃn//ˌseɡrɪˈɡeɪʃn/

The term "segregation" originally came from the Latin word "segregare," meaning "to separate" or "set aside." In the context of societal issues, the concept of segregation became especially relevant during the 19th century, as it served as a response to the increasing presence of formerly enslaved individuals and immigrants in society. The idea of segregation was based on the belief that certain groups, such as African Americans and immigrants, possessed inherent differences that made it necessary to separate them from other members of society in order to maintain social order and protect the rights and opportunities of the dominant group. Segregation was implemented through a variety of means, including residential segregation, educational segregation, and employment segregation, which ensured that members of these groups were limited in their access to living quarters, educational opportunities, and employment prospects. This system of segregation was used as a way to cultivate inequality and ensure the continued privileging of the dominant group, with negative consequences that continue to reverberate through society today. The legacy of segregation can be seen in the ongoing inequalities that persist between different groups, highlighting the importance of working towards greater social and economic justice.
