Causes of the main problems….
S
egregation
can often lead to increased prejudice and a lack of understanding of different groups within society.
To
overcome this segregation and prejudice barriers need to be broken down between groups in a
community
Minority
groups need to be
encouraged
to mix in different aspects of communities and society
.Slide6
Solutions……
Providing English classes – people who can speak and write in English are more likely to get a job.Encouraging an ethnic mix – The more people of all cultures and ethnic group live together
there is less likely to be racial tension. Housing initiatives can encourage mixing. Encouraging people to open their own businesses – the more the immigrants are able to enjoy a better standard of living from profits from their own businesses the less likelihood of discrimination.
Community Programs- centres and activities which encourage people from different parts of the community to meet and to work together.Slide7
