W 13.1 : Social Stratification

 1) Summary

Social stratification refers to the division of society into different hierarchical levels according to social class, status, and power. It involves an unequal distribution of resources, opportunities, and privileges between individuals and groups. Social stratification can be based on various factors such as wealth, occupation, education, and ancestry. It has a significant impact on individual life opportunities and access to social mobility. Layering systems can be classified into caste, class, or legacy systems, each with its own characteristics and meaning. Social mobility plays an important role in determining social stratification patterns, both upward and downward, and can be influenced by factors such as socialization, meritocracy, and structural barriers. The consequences of social stratification include the reproduction of inequality, social cohesion, intergenerational social advantages or disadvantages.
