Definitions relevant to the use of this unit standard include:
Minority
Minority refers to an ethnic minority. In many instances, they are also indigenous
minorities. The history of different groups operating together as part of the same
sovereign nation usually leads to political tensions as is reflected in the history of
Māori in New Zealand. How minority groups have used protest as a tool to achieve
political gains in a democracy is the basis of this unit standard. The two groups
referred to can either be in the same country or in two different countries.
