User:Marshallsumter/Dominant group/Classes

Each article containing the term "dominant group" uses it within at least one class of meanings. These classes of meanings relate to categories of relative synonymy for "dominant" and "group" and allow each article's usage of "dominant group" to fall within one of the genera differentia of "dominant group".

=Meaning=

Of the classes of meanings for "dominant group", there is overlap with the genera differentia. "Majority" (category 100) has relative synonymy with category 36. "Plurality" (category 100) does not have relative synonymy with category 36, but "majority" does and its most popular category of meaning is category 100 not 36. "Despotism" is in category 739.

"Radiation" and "diversity" usually refer to the maximum or greatest radiation or diversity, sometimes relatively the maximum (as in plurality) so that category 36 is implied: superior radiation or diversity.

The second most popular meaning for "control" is in category 739.

The third most popular meaning of "power" is arguably category 171 "influence".

"Whole" refers to such entities as "the fifth note of the diatonic scale" ; i.e., a group of dominants. This is relatively synonymous with category 462.

2005 December Psychology, Sociology

"On the few occasions that discussion diverted from the dominant consensus, awareness of alternative languages and logics was vital in establishing a consistent oppositional argument.

"Underneath their devout exteriors the priests often acted as agents of the Tsar's police and usually obeyed the dictates of the upper classes. They were men to be feared and obeyed. The dominant group saw to it that the church was subservient to its interests and this inevitably widened the breach between the two classes."

"Unlike groups as characteristically as unlike individual organisms react in unlike ways, and if in close contact tend to have conflict. Consequently the dominant group erects a binder of coercive pressure about the other."

1921 February International Law, Political Science

"The sex codes of the Puritan or the Hebrew, the military demands of the classic patriotism, the ancestor-cult of the Chinese, the marriage-lot advocated by Plato, the intimately regulated rabbit-hutch kind of home demanded by the mediaeval religions, and the human stock-farm of the extreme eugenist or birth-control advocate - all these involve interference in the family relation by a dominant group claiming superior wisdom and demanding an artificial birth-rate."

1990 October Politics

"[B]ecause political democracies generally arise from a compromise between contending organized elites that are unstable to impose their will unilaterally or the unilateral action of one dominant group, usually the armed forces, this does not bode well for democratization in situations in which the armed forces are inextricably tied to the interests of a dominant (and antidemocratic) agrarian class."

1993 Winter Politics

"As I have argued at length elsewhere, the political Right in the United States has been very successful in mobilizing support against the educational system and its employees, often placing responsibility for the crisis in the economy on the schools. Thus, one of its major achievements has been to shift the blame for unemployment and underemployment, for the loss of economic competitiveness, and for the supposed breakdown of traditional values and standards in the family, education, and paid and unpaid work places from the economic, cultural, and social policies and effects of dominant groups to the school and other public agencies."

"As a result, in societies in which group dominance is evident, there is likely to be a perception that there are not enough valued resources to go around, fueling the belief that groups are chronically competing for valued and scarce resources.
