Stratification of Janus: 

functionalist point of view and conflict theory.

Intro; What does Stratification mean in Social?

  Ninth posting of this time, was content about the hierarchy.

Stratification, it is routine in the capitalist society, South Korea, but a matter of course.

Eventually, I tried to read more and more interested in Stratification because a particular incident in Korea that have occurred recently.

The begin of the inequality and private property, occurred from gathering hunting society to the horticulture society.

Two theory about Stratification

  These inequalities are largely divided into two viewpoints.

Functionalist, believes that it is natural for such inequality (hierarchical).

Qualified person in the most functionally important work, ban will be able to accumulate more wealth.

For example, environmental sweeper is a simple labor, the doctor argues wearing advanced technology associated with it, that we should put the difference in terms of after course salary for the hard work. (But I think there’s work value are same) It also argue that people can be reversed in poverty and wealth effort.

However, conflict theory, claims Hierarchy is the harmful thing and the dysfunction of society.

Stratification, rich people in the incomplete the poor people, of making and more accumulated wealth.

In addition, the social system that has been divided into winners and losers make is impoverished society.

I think that two theory has correct and wrong face.

First, In the functionalist point of view, efficiency, that put the difference in salary depending on the capabilities that the day is, empathy. However, Society in hierarchy can’t be changed simply efforts alone.

And from conflict principle point of view, I agree that poor become to incomplete poor people, Rich people can accumulate the more wealth.

At length, it also have sentence "poverty is passed down".

 However, this if all of the world fallen by equality, even would decrease efficiency of workers who worked hard. And, national or global economy would be sluggish.
Such as a North Korea

My experience and question

We are always worried fallen into such dilemma.

This is also reason that why sociology exist.

Now I can be understood in more detail theory of this stratification by virtue of the test study.

By the way, here I have a question. Currently, it is that it is not possible to eradicate the hierarchy that is dig in the capitalist world.

And, of course, but such inability also maintain these inequalities, 

How it is possible to prevent lowering the efficiency of the workers and not maximized inequality?
