Step-by-step explanation:
Social distance refers to the level of acceptance people have of others outside of their own social group or class. This level of acceptance is defined by their general feelings toward others, and the amount of social interaction they have with people whose characteristics are outside of their social norm. Social distance is a measure of perceived difference (or distance) among groups. It can be small, for example, when people are accepting of others, or large, when people reject other groups. As a social construct, social distance is a familiar issue. Many common phrases refer to social distance, such as 'out of your league' and 'birds of a feather flock together.' These social norms are ingrained in our collective consciousness.
