Ghetto

A ghetto is historically a neighborhood where marginalized groups, often due to social, economic, or racial discrimination, are concentrated and sometimes confined. These areas may develop because of segregation, limited opportunities, or policies that restrict access to resources and integration. While the term originally referred to specific ethnic or racial enclaves, it is now often associated with impoverished urban areas facing social challenges. Understanding ghettos involves recognizing their roots in systemic inequality and their impact on community development and individual opportunities, emphasizing the importance of addressing the underlying social and economic issues.
