 w.13.1 social stratification


  1. Summary
    : People do not have all the same social factors. Through this, people can be classified relatively, which is called social stratification. The elements and classes that make up social stratification are also different for each society and culture. The more complex society is, the higher the degree of social stratification. In some cases, movement between layers is possible, but there are also classes with limited movement. Social stratification is affected by various social factors, including economic factors.
    This social stratification has a lot of influence on society. Some people say that social order maintenance and social stabilization have a positive effect on social stratification, while others say it is a means of extreme resources and entrenching differences between people and have a negative impact.
     Four principles of social stratification 1. Social property. 2. Reproduced between generations. 3. It is universal and variable. 4. Includes social status.
    Marx divided the classes into producers and workers according to the presence or absence of means of production. Max Weber was influenced by Marx, but said there was more class division than Marx's argument, dividing the social class into four. In addition, the criteria for classification were not limited to whether or not the means of production were owned.

  1. Interesting point
    : Marx classified people into capitalists and workers based on whether they owned the means of production. This leads to socialism. Since social economic inequality and class conflict arise from Marx's distinction, it is believed that the redistribution of social factors must be made fairly to solve this problem. As such, the method of social stratification changes the composition of various social factors, and all social factors are closely related and do not exist independently. So the above was an interesting part.

  2. Discussion
    : What will a society in which social strafication does not exist look like?

Science & Futurism with Isaac 2_extra credit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRStfFOwcsM The video "What If The Dinosaurs Hadn't Died Off?" by AlternateHistoryHub explores a fascinating hypothetical scenario: what the world might look like if the dinosaurs had survived the catastrophic events that led to their extinction 66 million years ago. The video delves into various aspects of this alternate history, examining the potential impact on mammalian evolution, human development, and the planet's ecosystems. The video begins with a brief overview of the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event, which wiped out the dinosaurs and allowed mammals to become the dominant life forms on Earth. It then explores the possible consequences if this event had never occurred. The narrative is engaging, combining scientific knowledge with imaginative speculation to paint a vivid picture of an alternate Earth. One of the most intriguing points discussed is how the survival of dinosaurs might have affected mammalian evolution. Witho...

Extra credit—Examples of values that have been commodified

Commodification of wood carving In fact, the situation described above is a thing of the past. It's not completely changed, but there are a few exceptions now with the penetration of the monetary economy. These changes, presumably, began in the 1960s, when farmers in Zafimaniri began selling crafts. The artefacts were originally purchased by Catholic priests in France to minimize food shortages during bad harvests. Also, around the same time, the museum affiliated with the Antananarivo University, Madagascar's largest institution of higher learning, began collecting specimens from all over Madagascar, and the "folk arts" inherited from the mountains were also extensively collected. As a result, the exquisite wood carvings of Zafimaniri were first recognized overseas and later by the wealthy class in China. The penetration of monetary economy has brought the following effects to the production of wood carving. 1. Before the beginning of professional commercialization, ...

W5.2- Introduction to Sociology/Religion-LUAN QIANYUE

 1.Summary The sociologist Émile Durkheim described it by saying that it consists of "things beyond the limits of our knowledge". Religion is "a unified system of beliefs and practices associated with sacred things, that is, separated and forbidden, beliefs and practices united into a single moral community called the Church, for all those who adhere to them". Religion can be broadly defined as a system of beliefs, values and practices that provide individuals with a sense of meaning and purpose in their lives. It is a fundamental aspect of human culture and has played an important role in shaping society throughout history. Sociologists are interested in understanding how religion influences social behavior, how it interacts with other social institutions, and how it shapes individual and group identity. 2.Interesting point Religion exists as an organized and integrated set of beliefs, behaviors, and norms centered on basic social needs and values. It typically inc...
