What does distinct mean? Do women share some of the same needs, attitudes, desires as older men? Do handicapped folks share some of the same needs as other people?
I am not so certain racial minorities are distinct in their needs, desires, and goals.
So, define distinct.
The question is: Do populations such as women, s, s, the elderly, and those with disabilities constitute a distinct group? Why or why not?
The following is my answer. Can someone help by adding more to this answer?
These populations are all are distinct groups. A woman who is or a and elderly still has separate emotional and social stigmas to endure than a young female. An older woman may be a member of AARP or on social security which is membership in another group than a 25 yrs old female who may be in the work place. The disabled need services and support from an entirely different group. They may all belong to the same group as a minority member of the whole of a population, but they are still distinctive in their own social or socio-economic group.
