DEFINE SOCIAL EXCLUSION AND INCLUSION IN NEPALI CONTEXT Social Exclusion is a multi-dimensional concept. It refers to exclusion in the economic, social and political sphere. It is often refer to processes, to the mechanism by which people are excluded. Individuals and groups who are wholly or partially denied from the society, services, access of goods, activities and resources which are their rights but citizens are unable to secure the social, economic and political rights and suffer from disadvantages. There are generally three paradigms of social exclusion. • Solidarity • Specialization • Monopoly In context of Nepal social exclusion has widespread all over the country. In …show more content…

Gender discrimination is another striking feature of Nepali society where a son is given more priority than a daughter. Fewer girls are getting enrolled in education and literacy rate of women is far less comparison to men. Nepal is a male dominant society, where women/girls are not given much preference. Women are excluded from the labour force and their works in the home are not valued. On the other hand Nepali society still discriminates widow and single mother and these women are wholly/partially excluded from their community. There are no schools where normal and disable children study together. Witchcraft is still practice in the remote areas of Nepal saying some women are witch and excluding them from the society. Resource’s and opportunities are limited to these circles. The marginalized groups, lower caste and women have lack of power and unequal rights on the basis of citizenship. Some political exclusion is widely discussed in Nepal. Exclusion can also be seen in the political context of Nepal where, individuals and groups which should be included are purposely left out from the political discussion and decision making. …show more content…

The social inclusion debate in Nepal focuses on caste and ethnicity issues. The inequality however differs from one dimension to another and one caste ethnic to another. The inequality between the top most and bottom most is highest. In the context of Nepal freedom, equality and justice are the contested issues of social inclusion where strengthening of political democracy and electoral participation is given more emphasis. People in rural areas of Nepal once viewed the exclusion of girls from educational opportunities as normal, while today many people view have changed in a positive manner. Women participation in irrigation and agriculture field has lead to the economic development. From the recent scenario of Nepal we can see that 33 percentages of women are given reservation in the political seat. Allowances are given to widow and old age people. Dalits, janjati, madheshis and untouchable caste are given preference and 45 percentage reservations are given in government offices and banks. Social Inclusion is making the life of the people easier. In the rural areas of Nepal people are given access to resources of production and are able to fully participate in the labour market. A change in values and norms promotes social inclusions which allow untouchable and dalits to enter temple and allowing widow to

  • Inclusion or Exclusion in The Crucible

    2355 Words  | 5 Pages

    Exclusion is about scapegoating and denying the truth or reality to oneself. A scapegoat is a person made to bear the blame for others, an escape from dealing with one's responsibility. The scapegoat lets one rationalize bad situations and blind oneself from the reality of that situation. No one saw the reality in Salem and no one even tried. They were all too caught up in trying to find someone else to blame for their fears and problems. However, organizations tend to do that too. They create an opposition or enemy so they can use it later to their own advantage, making themselves seem more powerful. So the question goes back to, "Are you in? Or are you out?"

    Again, one must clarify what ‘social exclusion’ is. As defined by Gordon and Townsend (2000), they believe that ‘social exclusion’ is not a state but a process. In December 1997, the Social Exclusion Unit (SEU) was set up for two years in the first instance, based in the Cabinet Office and reporting to the Prime Minister. The aim of the Unit is to develop coordinated policies to address social exclusion, described as joined-up policies for joined-up problems.

  • Social Exclusion in Relation to Disability and Gender

    881 Words  | 2 Pages

    Social exclusion is the exclusion of an individual from the current social system, their individual rights and privileges. This is usually a result of a person living in poverty due to circumstances he or she has no control over, or their own human error. Becoming socially excluded can also be the result of the individual belonging to a minority social group. Social exclusion refers to individuals whom are excluded from certain aspects of social life such as employment and social relations. This can be due to reasons such as whether or not the individual would like to participate in social activities, or whether he or she is unable to participate in social activities for reasons which are beyond their control, such as a disability (Burchandt et al. 2002). Social exclusion can be a major problem, studies have shown that being socially excluded from a group/s in fact activates particular areas of the brain, areas which would usually only be activated by physical pain (Eisenberger et al, 2003). Not only can social exclusion have negative effects on an individuals mental health and wellbeing, but it can also cause exploitation, oppression and marginality. Social exclusion also prevents equality, fairness and social justice.

  • Caste System In Hinddia Essay

    1093 Words  | 3 Pages

    Hindu society as a whole is divided into various small groups called castes each of which are well developed social groups. The membership of the caste is determined by the consideration of birth and children are automatically part of the caste that their parents belong to. Each caste group has its own privileges and rules in which are adopted by new generations and passed onto the next. Caste membership is an unchangeable and unarguable fact by which the male and females position in the social structure is entirely determined. Even if the person’s status, occupation, education and wealth may change the membership of that particular caste will still remain the same. Since this is usually a lifelong membership there is almost no social flexibility, however a low caste has been able in a generation or two to raise itself in the hierarchy. This is after gaining economic and...

  • Inclusion in the Public School Classroom

    What do we do with children with disabilities in the public school? Do we include them in the general education class with the “regular” learning population or do we separate them to learn in a special environment more suited to their needs? The problem is many people have argued what is most effective, full inclusion where students with all ranges of disabilities are included in regular education classes for the entire day, or partial inclusion where children spend part of their day in a regular education setting and the rest of the day in a special education or resource class for the opportunity to work in a smaller group setting on specific needs. The need for care for children with identified disabilities both physical and learning continues to grow and the controversy continues.

    Gender roles have been a predominant factor in our world since the early emergence of human societies whether they are positive or negative. They are based on expectations that societies have over the people in them. The Epic of Sunjata, shows us how men and women are treated almost equally in different forms. Women are praised for their ability to birth leaders, which is similar to the early Greek Society. In most societies, women are treated less equal than men. This was prevalent in the early Indian society. No matter the gender role, it has been shown that any society cannot survive without both men and women.

  • Gender Inequality Essay

    2439 Words  | 5 Pages

    There are many instances of gender inequality in the dominant religion of Hinduism (Srivastava, 2008). Husbands treat their wives like property, and that is pretty much the root of the issue. A major factor of this subject is the concept of dowry. This concept should be well known before the issue is further dissected. Dowry is an ancient tradition where the husband gains the riches of the wife immediately after they are married (Bedi, 2012). What tends to happen is that the woman’s dowry does not usually satisfy the man, and this leads to devastating violence. Women are then killed in various torturous ways, such as live burning. This also leads to another major element of the problem: female infanticide. This is the unlawful killing of baby girls (BBC, 2014). Women do not want to disappoint their husbands by having a daughter, so they get rid of their unborn or newborn babies. Also, daughters cause a financial burden to the family, so families would want to dispose of them (BBC, 2014). Also, men are far more educated than women in India, and that leads to more problems. Yes, awfully tragic, bu...

  • Inclusion: The Past, Present, and Future

    4020 Words  | 9 Pages

    There are millions of children that are passing through the United States school system every day, not all children possess the same traits, and not all children can learn at the same rate, and do not perform at the same ability. The fact that all children learn differently and some have difficulties learning in general classrooms, special education was put into place to try and take care of these issues. Special education programs were put into place to help all students with disabilities. These children range from general disabilities to more complex and severe disabilities. There has been a revolution occurring in the past several years with education systems, and special education. There have now been several laws that have been passed that mandate changes in special education and the treatment that children, and parents receive, it also changes how the children are being taught, and how the teachers are to also change and conform to this idea called inclusion. Inclusion in the school system simply is stating that children who have learning disabilities, and more severe disabilities are to be included in the general education environment for as long as possible daily. There has been several different names other than inclusion that have been used, but in present times and since the 1990’s inclusion has been the most common term used. “The change in terminology was pushed in part by the philosophy that inclusion would mean more than only physical placement of children with disabilities in the same classroom, but rather it conveyed that children with disabilities would become a part of larger social, community, and societal systems” (Odom, Buysse, & Soukakou, 2011, para. 3). There has not been just one major law that was passed...
