This resource provides a comprehensive overview of social stratification, including its core concepts, key vocabulary, perspectives, and theories. It defines social stratification as the systematic ranking of social groups in society based on access to resources, power, and prestige. Students will learn about three primary sociological perspectives: Functionalism, which views inequality as necessary for filling important roles; Conflict Theory, which sees it as a struggle for scarce resources; and Symbolic Interactionism, focusing on daily social interactions and perceptions of class. The resource also discusses social mobility and different stratification systems, highlighting the factors that influence movement within the social hierarchy and comparing open and closed systems. The document encourages critical thinking by prompting students to reflect on how these concepts relate to contemporary society and their communities.
