As per first theory these people adopt unhealthy life style and do not bother about the consequences of that. Some studies states that the tribal women are more prone for HIV/AIDS as many of them commence sexual activity at an early age and get married early as well. They belongs to that culture which allows extra-marital sex and this exposes women to that situation where risk for acquiring HIV is very high. They move in search of work and intimate with others as they are not restricted. The males of STs show dominant behaviour and are free to have sex with any female that rises the chances of getting HIV/AIDS as it is a STD. Next theory too play a vital role for this health inequality in these people as they are not receiving the proper education, awareness and health facilities that can control the spread of HIV/AIDS. As they are living in isolated area where the health facilities are not well developed or are at lower level. They are not getting education and information about disease, its causes and control because their living areas are far away from the developed living areas which is difficult for leaders to cover for spread of facilities.

    In my American government class, we use the term political socialization to describe the influence one’s family has on their own political identity. Although the political aspect of political socialization remains exclusive to the term, the concept that families have a profound influence on the social development of children is wide-ranging, even helping explain people's perceived value of a college education. In my own life, the expected influence of my family's experience with higher education on my own outlook never took. My family's own experience has presented me with both opportunities and challenges in pursuing my educational goals as well as testing the integrity of the goals.…

    According to a study conducted by Raj Chetty of Harvard University in the early 1970s, they discovered that “mobility has remained remarkably stable,” and that it remains this way for the last 20 to 25 years (Zarrol, “Study: Upward Mobility No Tougher in U.S. Than Two Decades Ago”, 6). This shows that to this day that people are still able to transition into a different social classes and economic classes from the one they were born into in the same percentage as in the early 1970s. However, in stark contrast, India remains to have strict social class called the caste system that continues to dictate a person’s life. In the year 2013, Lavanya Sankaran wrote an article for New York Times having to do with the caste system in India, and at one part she states that the “caste is making its presence felt alive...vibrantly alive when it comes to two significant societal markers--marriage and politics,” (Caste is Not Past).…

    Ethnic groups are the first inhabitant of a given region with a distinct identity who own the lands where they inhabit, in contrast to and in contention with the colonial societies and states are ‘Indigenous Community'(Sanders, 1999; Kendall, 2001; Coates, 2004; Bernhardt, 2015). Actually ‘Indigenous' is an identity given by the colonial authorities and their attitudes towards the local communities, clans, tribes and nations as because these ethnic people maintain some aesthetic, cultural values that linked with that given region (Sanders, 1999; Coates, 2004). In ‘Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention, 1989', (No. 169), mainly known as ILO Convention 169, International Labor Organization(ILO) has given the perfect definition based on the social, cultural and demographic aspect of an indigenous community. It defines aboriginal community as "tribal peoples in independent countries whose social, cultural and economic conditions distinguish them from other sections of the national community and whose status is regulated wholly or partially by their own customs or traditions or by special laws or regulations" (Swepston, 1990, UN, n.d.). Indigenous communities have faced various types of oppression over the years by the colonial states which caused the communities to leave their histories, traditional lifestyle, land use, professions and so on (Mathie and Cunnigham, 2005; Hamstead, 2005; Smith and Seyfang, 2007).…
