what is stratification?
Summary
Inequality is that people unfairly
own valuable and rare resources.
This affects medical care, education,
employment, real estate, economic part, the political part.
Socioeconomic
status (SES) is synthesis of social status and economic status that a specific person
has in the hierarchy system.
A compartmental hierarchical position in the
social dimension is referred to as a social status.
A compartmental hierarchical position in the
economical dimension is referred to as a economic status.
Social status and
economic status are generally consistent. However, because there may not be so,
we could do with synthesizing the social status and economic status.
Origin of inequality can be found in the
transformation of society.
<Persistence of inequality>
1. Sociologist Joel Charon talks about the
persistence of inequality. He said technology is to sustain the inequality.
Rich person manages their own means of production and property through a new
technology. However, the lower layer has less opportunities to such techniques.
Ultimately, Existing wealth go to next generation. This is connected inequality.
2. society teach the acceptance of cultural
inequality.
3. people have been socialized to accept
their position in life.

I think that duration
of the layers equal the persistence of inequality.
I am a conflict theorist.
Duration of these layers and the position makes the inequality. In addition,
these inequalities make the conflict. I think that we must have the opportunity
to change this structure. I want to hear everyone. If you're a conflict
theorist, what do you think a way to change the social structure? If you are a
function theorist, what do you think about the persistence of the problem of
inequality?

I read your posting well!
ReplyDeleteI also have position of conflict theory.
I would like to emphasize the importance of education.
If a country provides equal education for all, we can move on to step more equal society.
I read your posting very well!!!
ReplyDeleteI have position of function theorist. I think inequality is inevitable. But if high class people have good idea and do a kindness, this word persist very well.
