Principles of social stratification
उत्तर
- Stratification is social: Social stratification is not determined by biological differences but it is governed by social norms and sanctions.
- Social stratification persists over generations: In all societies parents confer their social status on their children. Thus the pattern of inequality stays same from generation to generation.
- Social stratification is universal but variable: Social stratification is found everywhere. At the same time the nature of inequality varies. 'What' is unequal and 'how' unequal, changes within the context of a society.
- Social stratification involves inequality: Any stratified system not only gives people more resources but also justifies this arrangement and defines them as fair.
- Social stratification is consequential: Stratification affects every aspect of life of all individuals. Social life is affected because of the position of an individual in the social hierarchy. Some experience positive consequences, while others face negative consequence of the hierarchy in a particular society.
