To determine which option is NOT one of the explanations for prejudice and discrimination agreed upon by sociologists, we need to examine the given options: socialization, scapegoating, dependency ratio, and economic competition.
Socialization, scapegoating, and economic competition are all commonly recognized explanations for prejudice and discrimination. These explanations focus on factors such as how individuals are socialized to adopt prejudiced beliefs, how they may unfairly blame others for their own problems, or how economic competition can fuel prejudice.
On the other hand, the concept of "dependency ratio" is not typically considered as one of the explanations for prejudice and discrimination. The dependency ratio refers to the proportion of individuals in a population who are economically dependent, such as children and the elderly. While the dependency ratio can have implications for economic systems, it is not directly related to the sociological explanations for prejudice and discrimination.
Thus, the answer is the "dependency ratio" is NOT one of the explanations for prejudice and discrimination agreed upon by sociologists.
Regarding the statement "Stereotyping is the practice of placing the blame for one's troubles on an innocent person or group," we can evaluate its accuracy:
This statement is not an accurate definition of stereotyping. Stereotyping refers to the process of assigning certain characteristics or qualities to a group of people based on their membership in that group, often without regard for individual differences. It does not necessarily involve placing blame for one's troubles on a specific group.
Therefore, the correct response is:
- The option that is NOT one of the explanations for prejudice and discrimination agreed upon by sociologists is the "dependency ratio."
- The statement "Stereotyping is the practice of placing the blame for one's troubles on an innocent person or group" is False.
