W13-1: Social Stratification(LEE JEONGYOON)

 1) summarize

 What is a social class? According to Wikipedia, "A social class is a distinct group of human beings within a society." In our society, differences in occupation and income create a social class. The difference in honor, prestige, and income separates the ruling class from the ruled class. If you don't have much income or high honor and prestige, you become the ruling class, and vice versa. These specific criteria create differences and create a hierarchy, where each level becomes a class.

 Hierarchy also affects the consciousness, life, and ideology of individuals. Hierarchies are also passed down from one generation to the next. If a property or family name is inherited, the scope and opportunities for subsequent individuals are broadened.

Social stratification refers to a society that classifies people into specific groups based on a variety of factors, including wealth, ethnicity, education, gender, honor, status, and power. There are four basic principles of social stratification. First, it is defined by attributes of society rather than individuals in society, second, it is reproduced from generation to generation, and third, it is found in all societies. Third, it is found in all societies but varies across time and place, and fourth, it involves not only quantitative inequality but also qualitative beliefs and attitudes about social status.

2) interesting thing

 It's interesting to note that different sociologists use different criteria to distinguish social classes. Marx believes that social stratification is based on ownership of the means of production.

Weber, on the other hand, argues that social inequality is caused by a variety of factors, including economic, social, and political factors, and Marx's theory is criticized for being narrowly based on economic factors alone.

3) Question

 What are some criticisms of Weber's theory of social stratification?
