1.Summary
Stratification means a hierarchical arrangement of people in society, which greatly affects people's everyday lives. In other words, Stratification means how people differentiate between their wealth and power. Inequality is caused by the distribution of scarce and valuable resources in society.
Modern sociologists define socioeconomic status based on Max Weber's ideas. Max Weber sees Stratification in three major aspects : rank, rank, and maximum. Power refers to the ability to perform your own intentions regardless of others ' intentions. Legal power is called authority. On the other hand, illegal power is called coercion. And property means the total amount of property and the total amount of income. Fame also creates prestige or respect associated with social status. Personal fame is closely related to social class. And these three indicators tend to lead to each other.
According to a constitutional approach to Stratification, Stratification and inequality are inevitable and in some ways beneficial to society. Inequities exist because society needs to provide more compensation to the most capable people to fill the most important positions. However, the structural functional approach also has the disadvantage of determining the functional significance of all tasks, as the specialized and cross-dependency approaches carry all the necessary positions for the entire operation. On the other hand, conflictive views argue that hierarchy is detrimental to society and harmful to society. Conflict theorists believe that the competing systems create and personalize systems with fixed systems. Competition and inequality are not necessarily inevitable, but are created and maintained by people.
Capitalism generates huge amounts of wealth besides increasing levels of inequality in the world. This disparity is the result of a hierarchy of hierarchical systems based on the widening disparity in power. And in this respect, capitalism is a system that leads to cruel consequences. The capitalistic system essentially controls the workers and keeps wages as low as possible, allowing fewer owners to control their wealth. Capitalism also uses gender inequality. Women often work without extra pay or allowances.
2.What was the most interesting thing you have read?
The fact that the origin of inequality was related to the transition of society was very interesting, because there was no surplus in the past, but the surplus was produced by the new labor division, resulting in surplus of wealth, resulting in inequality because of the accumulation of more wealth than others. And the concept of private property has spread throughout the world and has begun to flourish. The reason why this inequality continues in society is that there is a social reproduction theory focusing on the process of maintaining the institutional and cultural structure of inequality and the structure of society. According to this theory, first, rich and powerful people protect the system of inequality. Second, culture teaches acceptance of inequality. Third, people accept their position in society. Thus, inequality is created.
3.Dicussion question
How did our personal characteristics and socio-economic status affect our lives so far? And what are the examples of social inequality we've experienced and how to change it? Do we also understand inequality in terms of function or conflict?
