 1) summary

Social stratification refers to the classification of people into groups according to socioeconomic factors such as wealth, income, race, education, ethnicity, and derived power. Stratification is therefore the relative social position of people within a social group, category, geographic region, or social unit. The classification of people by social class most clearly occurs in complex state-based, multicentric, or feudal societies, the latter based on socioeconomic relationships between aristocratic and peasant classes. Whether social stratification first emerged in hunter-gatherers, tribes and band societies, or began as a means of large social exchange with agriculture, remains a matter of debate in the social sciences.

2) an interesting point

What was interesting was the four principles of social stratification. The four principles underlying social stratification are first, and social stratification is defined as the property of society, not the individual of society. Second, social stratification is reproduced from generation to generation. Third, social stratification is universal (found in all societies) but variable (depending on time and place). Fourth, social stratification includes qualitative beliefs and attitudes toward social status as well as quantitative inequality.

3) a discussion of point

I found that social stratification affects many areas.

    Social stratification affects each area. The social class influences the distribution of economic resources and opportunities. The upper classes have more economic resources and power, and the lower classes are more likely to suffer economic hardship. This can lead to problems such as income disparity, economic inequality, and poor opportunities. The social class also affects educational opportunities. Higher classes are more likely to receive a higher level of education because they have access to better training environments and resources. On the other hand, educational gaps can arise in the lower classes due to educational constraints and insufficient educational opportunities. Social class also affects health and health care. The upper classes have access to better health services and healthcare facilities, and are more likely to enjoy a healthy environment and living conditions. However, lower classes are more likely to take health risks due to difficulties in health care or poor living conditions. The social class also affects cultural and social participation. The upper classes have cultural and social capital, so they have many opportunities to participate in various activities such as art, sports, and politics. Lower classes may find these opportunities difficult to access, and may experience cultural discrimination and social constraints.The social class also affects the political and power sectors. The upper classes have more political influence and resources, and can exert more influence over the decision-making process. On the other hand, the lower classes may experience restrictions of political participation and political exclusion. Like this, I didn't know that I had this effect, but this part was very impressive because I found out new things this time.

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...

W9.1 Government

Image
  1. Summarization      Government is like an umbrella term for a wide variety of institutions that make up the general control over a country. There are many different types of governments, with democracies, totalitarian regimes and everything in between. A type of government always has a ideal state, however in reality it often deviates. Basic political systems are autocracy, aristocracy, democracy, republics and federalism. Democracy can be either direct or indirect. In the indirect form, the people vote for representatives, who will then act on their behalf in making governing decisions. In a government, power can be divided into several functions. A commonly known model is called the 'trias politica'. The legislature, executive and judiciary powers are divided over several institutions. This is often applied to democracy as it ensures no one has the power to undermine the system. Sometimes a government works on the principle of a multiparty system. A party or a ...

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...
