First define and then compare and contrast the following terms: (a) race, (b) ethnic group, and (c) socioeconomic status
What will be an ideal response
Race is meant to be a biological categorization (e.g., hair and skin color), whereas
ethnic group is meant to be a category based on national origin, religion, customs,
and language. Social scientists prefer not to use race, because there are no
clear-cut categories. SES refers to income, education, community, etc., and is
related to ethnic group but is certainly not the same.
