WEEK 12_1. Social stratification
1. Summary
Social stratification refers to society's categorization of its people into groups based on socioeconomic factors like wealth, income, race, education, gender, occupation, and social status, or derived power. As such, stratification is the relative social position of persons within a social group, category, geographic region, or social unit. Social stratification is a term used in the social sciences to describe the relative social position of persons in a given social group, category, geographical region or other social unit. It derives from the Latin strātum referring to a given society's categorization of its people into rankings of socioeconomic tiers based on factors like wealth, income, social status, occupation and power. In modern Western societies, stratification is often broadly classified into three major divisions of social class: upper class, middle class, and lower class. Each of these classes can be further subdivided into smaller classes.
2. Interesting
The fact that social stratification is socially defined as an asset, not as an individual in that society, seems to reveal capitalist charity.
3. Discussion
Which of the most prominent theories of social stratification, Karl Marx or Maxweber, do you agree with?
