Year 2017, Volume: 1 Issue: 1, 97 - 125, 01.06.2017

Hasret Elçin Kürşat Coşkun

Abstract

The Established and the Outsiders-Theorem emphasizes the
power differential between the established and the otsider group as the
major cause of mechanisms of stigmatization and discrimination. The more powerful group ascribes itself. A group charima and superiority attributing group disgrace, inferiority and anomy to the less powerful group. The group cohesion, innergroup social control and the
monopolization of power sources enable the  established to forbid their
own members any social contacts with the outsiders.

Keywords
