Discrimination against people from rural areas

Discrimination against people from rural areas, also called rural discrimination or rural stigma, represents a confrontation between rural and urban populations, manifesting in various dimensions of daily life, including social, cultural, labor, and economic aspects. These circumstances arise within a framework of behaviors characterized by contempt, stigmatization, rejection, mockery and ridicule, among other adverse and negative attitudes directed toward individuals who were either born or raised in a rural setting, such as a farm or a small village. These discriminatory behaviors can appear against an individual or a group of individuals just because of their origin, as well as because of their manners, habits, traditions or idiosyncrasies that reveal a difference with urban people or an urban group, can be classified as a type of cultural shock.
