Relevant Theories

Karl Marx. Conflict Theory. The Conflict theories are often applied to inequalities of

gender, social class, education, race, and ethnicity. A conflict theory perspective of U.S. history

would examine the numerous past and current struggles between the white ruling class and racial

and ethnic minorities, noting specific conflicts that have arisen when the dominant group

perceived a threat from the minority group.

The Conflict Theory main goal is to examine the discrimination between the white, racial

and ethnic minorities. Same with what the researcher aims to understand is the discrimination

between Aetas and the Tagalog. Both of the desirable studies are focused on the current

inequality between dominant and the minority group concerning the discrimination on their race,

ethnicity, financial status and education.

Tarunabh Khaitan. A Theory of Discrimination Law. Discrimination law seeks to

close substantial, pervasive, and abiding advantage gaps between groups whose membership is

valuable or at least value-neutral. This objective is justified because such disadvantage gaps are a

serious impediment to human freedom. Discrimination law is a modest attempt to make us free in

one respect: that our access to the basic goods that make us free is not unduly constrained because

of our blameless membership of relatively disadvantaged groups.

Theory of Discrimination Law main goal is to close the discrimination between the

members of disadvantage group. The purpose of this study is to end the discrimination between

the members of disadvantage group. It is also stated that the objective is correct because

disadvantage gaps are serious barrier to human freedom. The researcher intentions is that the

disadvantage group or anyone should achieve freedom from discrimination.

 Ashwani Deshpande. Theories of Discrimination and Caste. This critically analyses

the few economic theories that specifically investigate how social identity can impact economic

outcomes and why we might encounter discrimination in market settings. The unfortunate but

hard reality all over the world is that identities do matter, and significantly so. This presents those

economic theories, incidentally put forth within the neo-classical framework, which bring home

the fact that discrimination is perfectly compatible with market orientation and profit

maximization, and that models based on discriminating agents also reach an equilibrium. Most

importantly, these theories provide a motivation about why ‘rational’ economic agents might

discriminate.

This theory critically analyses how few economic theories works for that specific

investigation on how social identity can impact economic outcomes However, it is also shows

that Aetas are among the poorest and one of the most disadvantaged social group in the country.

Unemployment and incidence of poverty are much higher among the Aetas than the rest of the

population and both theory shows that discrimination should be closed in all forms.
