Abstract

Disadvantaged groups with the modern socio-economic interests and unfair distribution of social power, social structure uncoordinated institutional unreasonable closely related to a sociological concept. In sociological research, disadvantaged groups and marginalized groups vulnerable are two basic components. The so-called vulnerable groups refers to physical defects lead to life because of poverty and social dilemma groups such as disabled people, the elderly and children; disadvantaged groups refers to the ability to work, though with entirely, but the social system and social structure defects in the process of social change being marginalized in the mainstream community, long-term survival of the state in a relatively unfavorable situation of social groups. Thus, a relatively disadvantaged groups and historical characteristics, different countries, different social systems, different values ??and different historical periods mainstream, disadvantaged groups are different, their diversity, complexity and fluidity greater than the vulnerable groups. Current scholars generally believe that contemporary Chinese disadvantaged groups (also known as some scholars social disadvantaged groups), including four categories of people, they are: laid-off workers, \within the system \Unlike Western countries, these groups are mostly original planned economy period of the basic class or social class, they worked in the planned economy era of nation-building and social development and make a significant contribution to their inferior position with China's economic transition and Social Structure Transformation special historical background associated - the speed of social transformation, social structure breaks, a series of social mobility stiffening due to defects lead some members of society suited to social structure, institutional change and labor market requirements and flung to the community position of the edge of the area, in the interests of society redistribution pattern disadvantage of being gradually transformed into disadvantaged groups. Known physiological vulnerable groups in any society there are those less fortunate, they and social injustice is not so direct and close relationship, therefore, can be seen as basically not involved with the social injustice of vulnerable groups. And disadvantaged groups is directly related with social injustice, with a strong sense of relative deprivation, and thus closely linked with social stability type of socially marginalized groups. From the perspective of sociological theory, vulnerable, disadvantaged groups and the formation of a strong social stratification (social agradation) results. Among members of society and social conditions of the innate physiological differences determine the necessity of social stratification, that marginalized groups in every society inevitably exist. Social stratification on the one hand by making a difference motivate community members to participate in social mobility, social progress and contribute their talents to promote the society forward; On the other hand, if the social stratification or layering over too fast, social poverty appears Wealth gap is too large, a strong imbalance of interests groups and marginalized groups and disadvantaged groups relative deprivation exacerbate other negative effects, to hinder social development. Therefore, how to balance between mainstream and marginalized groups, the distribution of benefits, how to speed restructuring members of disadvantaged groups inhibit or alleviate a sense of relative deprivation and social injustice and the sense of how to control the degree of social stratification and progress in the process of building a harmonious society can not be ignored problem. If excessive social stratification to the social consequences of vulnerable groups is difficult to survive, then to disadvantaged groups will be brought about social exclusion (social exclusion). \status of social exclusion of other reasons. particularly serious in the decision-making affecting their destiny place, can not hear their voices. \And this exclusion and lack of discourse is very dangerous - \The results will be in vain. \China is in the country from an agricultural to a modern industrial state transition process, and this transition is inevitable due to social resources, heavy damage to the vested interests of some members of society, and therefore the period of highest risk of social unrest. Sun Liping, a sociology professor believes that the original meaning of a harmonious society is first formed roughly balanced the interests of the pattern, namely the establishment of mechanisms including the expression of interest, benefit negotiation mechanism, conflict of interest, including the interests of the settlement mechanism coordinating mechanism. And, \they need attention the interests of disadvantaged groups of population expression mechanism, because this is a direct relationship to the social stability and social harmony major problems. According to information game theory, to achieve the interests of the game to maximize the interests of all participants, that is, Professor Sun Liping so-called \Professor Sun Liping called \In the information society, as people are an integral part of the social life of the mass media is cheap consultation to achieve this important channel. Institution building is a gradual process, establish a sound mechanism for expression of interest before the completion of the transmission of information as a social, cultural heritage, media, and entertainment services will be an important tool for the mass media bear the expression platform for the community to provide the parties an important mission. Then, the process of social transformation in China, how to give full play to the role of the media platform for expression, how to create a harmonious social atmosphere, weakening the sense of relative deprivation disadvantaged groups, in order to maintain social harmony and stability is an important issue to be discussed in this article. Due to time and capacity constraints, the paper through the press media in Chongqing on one of contemporary Chinese society disadvantaged groups of migrant workers reported to analyze the situation, the social marginalization of disadvantaged groups in the media to be copied, and the disadvantages of this medium and strengthen the disadvantaged groups in the social discourse and resource allocation in the current situation of disadvantage presented and disadvantaged groups through the sociological analysis of the causes, tentatively explores the status of disadvantaged groups to help improve and promote a harmonious social construction disadvantage media reports and policy groups expressed
