Margin

[Hina Muqadas]

Margin is a page layout term used in both print and Web publishing. In print, margin typically refers to page borders, while on the Web it describes the spacing between elements on a webpage.

Printed Pages

When you create a new document in a word processor, the default margins are usually defined as one inch on all sides. However, depending on the program, the side margins may vary anywhere from 0.75 in to 1.25 inches. These margins create a frame around the content of the page so that the text does not run all the way to the edges. The white space along the edges of the document makes the page look cleaner and the text is easier to read.
In many cases, it is not necessary to edit the page margins. However, some documents, such as school papers, may require specific margins. In these cases, you can edit the margins in your word processors Document Formatting window. This window can typically be accessed by selecting Format → Document from the programs menu bar. In Microsoft Word, you can edit page margins using the Layout tab in the ribbon located above the document.

Webpages

Margin is also a CSS property used for creating space between HTML block elements on webpages. It can specify the top, right, bottom, and left margins around an object. Below are several examples of how margins can be specified in CSS.
Margins can also be negative values, which may be used to overlay an object on another element within a webpage. In some cases, margins may also be defined as auto. For example, the CSS declaration margin: 0px auto; is often used to center elements on webpages.

Our society has been [stratified] into two main class. These are the upper [strata] and the lower strata. The people who exists in the lower strata are basically leaving in the ghettos like places where they dont get any types of social services required for the [standard level] of life. so when we think about the concept margin the think which come in our mind is a group of people who are the worst sufferers and excluded from the main strata of the society.
