Does this statement reflect social stratification? Give reasons for your answer.
लघु उत्तर
उत्तर
- No.
- Social inequality is not the outcome of innate or ‘natural’ differences between people but is produced by the society in which they live.
- Sociologists use the term social stratification to refer to a system by which categories of people in a society are ranked in a hierarchy. This hierarchy then shapes people’s identity and experiences, their relations with others, as well as their access to resources and opportunities.
