W12-1 :: Social inequality
1. Summary
This article explains social stratification. Social stratification means that society classifies people into groups based on socio-economic factors. These socio-economic factors include wealth, income, status, gender, and occupation. In modern society, social classes are divided into the upper - middle - and lower - classes. The complexity and social stratification of society are proportional, because of social differentiation. In other words, social stratification in a complex society is created by the unequal distribution of limited valuable resources. But not everyone is fixed within one class. Hierarchy is also something that has mobility. Open layering can move layers by placing significance on an individual's acquired ability. On the other hand, a society without mobility is judged only by its innate status, showing the aspect of a closed stratification system.
2. Interesting
The principle of social stratification was interesting. First, social stratification is defined as the property of society, not the individual. Second, social stratification shifts from generation to generation. Third, social stratification is universal, but it depends on time and place. Fourth, social stratification includes qualitative beliefs and attitudes to social status.
3. Discussions
In the 21st century, many inequalities have disappeared by placing more emphasis on acquired factors than on congenital ones. Is it possible to completely eliminate layering and create a horizontal structure, especially in companies and workplaces that are highly gender and family-oriented?
