Ethnicity Theory

Ethnicity Theory explores how a person's cultural background, language, traditions, and shared history shape their identity and influence social interactions. It examines how ethnic groups maintain their unique characteristics, form communities, and sometimes experience social challenges like discrimination. The theory helps us understand the importance of ethnicity in identity formation, social cohesion, and the dynamics of multicultural societies, emphasizing that ethnicity is a complex interplay of cultural inheritance and social context.
