The contact hypothesis—the idea that bringing together people of different races and ethnicities will lead to reduced prejudice and discrimination—does appear to have support, but only when certain conditions occur in addition to the straightforward bringing together of groups. which are among these conditions and which are not?

(Positive) conditions :

A community's broader social norms support intergroup contact.

One-on-one interactions between members of different groups are encouraged.

The different groups have a shared goal.

(Negative) Condition :

One group has a higher status than the other.

Explanation:

The positive conditions would encourage bonding between people, it would create a really good and healthy enviroment.

The negative condition would encourage the rest of the groups to "join" and separate themselves of that group with higher status. It would not reduce prejudice and discrimination.

    racial conflict and discrimination has existed ever since man learned to kill with rocks and bones. these conflicts arose from disputes between territory, power, wealth, religion, or simple difference. some of the most infamous racial disputes include slavery, the holocaust, and the civil rights movement.

    these listed disputes often resulted in casualties from all sides. riots, wars, imprisonment, and lynching are all commonly associated with racial conflict on severe levels.

      however, racism is an improving issue in recent decades. people are being more accepting and welcoming of diverse populations. though, the world isn't perfect and it will take much more time, if ever, until the world is rid of racism.
