W13.1- Social stratification

 1) Summarize 

Social stratification is when a society divides its people into groups (social and political) based on socioeconomic factors such as wealth, income, race, education, ethnicity, gender, occupation, social status, or derived power. Thus, stratification is the relative social status of people within a social group, category, geographic area, or social unit.

Social stratification is based on four principles. First, social stratification is defined by society as the property of society rather than the individuals within that society. Second, social stratification is transmitted from generation to generation. Third, social stratification is universal (it occurs in every society) but variable (it varies by time and place). Fourth, social stratification involves not only quantitative inequality but also qualitative beliefs and attitudes about social status.

2) Interesting point

Weber introduces three independent factors that make up his theory of hierarchical hierarchy, they are: class, status, and power:

Class: A person's economic position in society, based on birth and personal achievement. [17] Weber differed from Marx in that he did not regard this as the highest factor of stratification. Weber shows how executives control companies they don't usually own; Marx would put these people in the proletariat, despite their high incomes, because they sell their labor instead of owning capital.

Status: A person's reputation, social honor, or popularity in society. Weber points out that political power is rooted not only in capital values but also in personal status. A poet or saint, for example, can have a broad impact on society despite a lack of material resources.

Power: A person's ability to get what they want despite the resistance of others, especially in their ability to participate in social change. For example, individuals who hold government jobs, such as employees of the Federal Bureau of Investigation or members of the United States Congress, may have little property or status but still wield considerable social power

3) Discussion point
