Society and Culture (SOC) predictions (2 Viewers)

I really hope they don't because otherwise I am cooked. The only things I can think about is for the Dalits in India and ATSI Australians pre 1967.
Like the Dalits have the law on their side to say that the caste system is outlawed, yet they still work the lowest paid jobs and get the least care. However, there are government initiatives to try allow them to get a voice, like requiring Dalit voices in government.
For ATSI peoples you could probably mention how before 1967 they were considered flora and fauna, and were in a silent genocide enacted under law, which is for sure exclusion, and disconnect from personal and cultural identity.

ooh yes thank you ill def say the thing about flora and fauna if its a question, theyre just hard to come up with 15 marks worth of stuff yk
but i think theyve tested it before so

yeah for sure, I've got some notes linked in this board here somewhere that go further on ATSI social inclusion and exclusion which could prolly help

But across the long answers I think that they'll look into future trends and how past and present statistics can predict and influence the future

Also to extend on this I've got some notes on this exact thing for India:

Current and probable future directions in India:

• Although India continues to have the world’s largest population, current trends indicate that its population is expected to grow for another 40 years.
• Current trends indicate that India’s population is expected to peak at about 1.7 billion in 2064
• But its population growth rate has been declining for decades now, and the country has defied dire predictions of a ‘demographic disaster’
• Rising incomes and improved access to healthcare and education have helped Indian women have fewer children than before, effectively flattening the growth curve.
• People under the age of 25 account for more than 40% of the population.
• Poverty remains a daily reality for Millions of Indians, and experts say while the country has a large population of young people ready and willing to work, compared to other countries, figures show there aren’t enough jobs for them.
• Middle class currently represents 31% of the population in India, and is expected to reach 40% by 2031.
• More than 90% of Indians have arranged marriages, but in the modern era the youth rejects the rigid structure of the caste system.
• The BJP, led by prime minister Narendra Modi, is set for continued influence over Indian politics and life.
• Religious fundamentalism has grown dramatically over the past few decades.
• Tradition and religion in India are linked. Approx 80% of the population are Hindus, adhering to values, customs, and social norms.

Likely changes in India:

• India’s population will stop being the largest in 25 years
• Love marriages will become more common
• By 2030, India’s economy will be based around the rising middle class
• The influence of the caste system will fall over time with modernisation and westernisation
• India’s youth will continue to embrace western culture
• The BJP will become more radical and violent towards change
• India’s democracy will likely undergo a fundamental transformation, either allowing more voices to be heard, or to an autocracy enforcing Hindu Nationalism.

Probable continuities in India:

• The middle class will continue to drive 75% of consumer spending in 2030.
• Arranged marriages will remain common
• RSS and other Hindu fundamentalists will continue to become more aggressive.
• The conflict between liberal and conservative Hindu’s is likely to continue.
• The continued rise of Hindu Nationalism will likely turn India into an Autocracy
• Persecution of Muslims will continue to piss off neighbouring Muslim countries such as Pakistan
• The caste system is likely to remain strong, at least for a few decades.
• Tradition will likely mould how change impacts India
• Rising obesity rate
