WHAT DOES SOCIAL STRATIFICATION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Social stratification

In sociology, social stratification is a concept involving the "classification of people into groups based on shared socio-economic conditions... a relational set of inequalities with economic, social, political and ideological dimensions." When differences lead to greater status, power or privilege for some groups over the other it is called social stratification. It is a system by which society ranks categories of people in a hierarchy. Social stratification is based on four basic principles: ▪ Social stratification is a trait of society, not simply a reflection of individual differences. ▪ Social stratification carries over from generation to generation. ▪ Social stratification is universal but variable. ▪ Social stratification involves not just inequality but beliefs as well. In modern Western societies, stratification is broadly organized into three main layers: upper class, middle class, and lower class. Each of these classes can be further subdivided into smaller classes. These categories are not particular to state-based societies as distinguished from feudal societies composed of nobility-to-peasant relations.
