Discuss the concept of social distancing.
What will be an ideal response?
Distancing is perpetuated via intentional and unintentional “separation, exclusion, devaluation, discounting, and designation as ‘other,’ and that response can be identified in both institutional and interpersonal contexts” (Lott, 2002, p. 100). In institutional contexts, it is manifested by government agencies, schools, businesses, housing authorities, and health care facilities that create procedures and policies that favor the members of privileged classes and act as barriers that impede access to services by the poor. Similarly, interpersonal distancing takes place in social situations in which people living in poverty are demeaned, discounted, or ignored in interactions because of their social class status.
