Social Asymmetry

Social asymmetry refers to a situation where individuals or groups have unequal access to social resources, opportunities, or recognition, often due to differences in social capital, power, or status. This imbalance can lead to disparities in influence, mobility, and well-being, making it difficult for disadvantaged groups to participate fully or be heard within society. Recognizing social asymmetry helps us understand ongoing inequalities and emphasizes the importance of creating more equitable social structures and policies.
