Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Different understandings of minority concepts across disciplines and in different countries often cause confusion, hindering accurate recognition of minority issues and development of minority research overall. Recent increases in immigration require a reexamination of the similarities and differences between minorities and immigrant. Our comparative research revealed two types of minority concepts: 1) The “traditional/narrow” minority concept, in which only national, ethnic, religious, and linguistic minorities are regarded as a “minority” and wherein such people need particular protection and consideration to maintain their uniqueness as a group. This minority concept is used in Germany, Russia, and China; 2) An “extended/broad” minority concept, which extends concept 1 to include LGBT, persons with disabilities, and others-in other words, vulnerable people with little power who have faced discrimination. This minority concept is used in the U.S., Japan, and South Korea.
