8. Explain stratification from
functionalist and conflict perspectives

9.  Systematic inequality between groups of
people
 Unequal distribution of wealth, income,
prestige, power, knowledge, and other
resources
 “Structured:” built into social systems

10.  Assets, wealth, money (“class” views)
 Prestige, respect (“status” views)
 Education, occupation, income
(“socioeconomic status” view)
 Power and influence (“power” view)
 The debate is over which is most important
or most basic

11.  Jean-Jacques Rousseau
 Social inequality stems from private property
 Private property creates unequal access to
resources
 Ultimately leads to resentment and conflict.
 Viewed human nature as basically good;
private property as the problem
 Influenced socialist thought.

12.  Adam Ferguson and John Millar
-private property and competition are good because
some people are getting ahead and creating assets
(stored wealth)
-provides an incentive to work hard and be productive
-ultimately leads to improved organization and
efficiency
 Thomas Malthus:
-Inequality keeps population in check – too much
growth = poverty and starvation, thinning out population
-Generally harsh view of the poor
-Did not consider innovation, improved food production

13.  Hegel’s Master-Slave Dialectic
-social relationships follow “master-slave” model
-master is as dependent on the slave as slave is on
master
 Can’t live without slave’s labor and services
-Basic social relationship is domination and
exploitation
-Ideas about equality would evolve over time
-master-slave model would die out
 Did it happen?
 More equal opportunity today, upward mobility is possible
 Employees still dependent on corporations, still exploited

14. Karl Marx: class defined by relationship to means of production
*Saw two major classes - proletariat, or working class, and bourgeoisie
or employing class.
*Under capitalist system, employer makes profit by extracting “surplus
value” from employee - i.e. getting more work than employee is for.
*Argued that this oppressive system caused much misery and would
eventually self-destruct
Erik Olin Wright developed the concept of contradictory class
locations, which is the idea that people can occupy locations in the
class structure that fall between the two “pure” classes defined by
Marx.

15.  Davis and Moore: structural functional theory
 Occupations are basis for rewards such as
prestige and income
Prestige is primary – other rewards flow from it.
 What determines prestige of an occupation?
 Basically supply and demand explanation
 Importance to society’s survival
 Amount of human capital required (training, talent)
 Desirability

16.  Stratification as combination of education,
occupational prestige, and income
Argues that all three are important

17. Socioeconomic status may be used to define social
classes:
 upper upper class – old wealth, long established
social networks, family ties
 lower upper – new wealth, “self-made”
 upper middle – professional, educated, comfortable
lifestyle
 lower middle – technical, white collar, less secure,
lower income
 working – manual labor, crafts, services, usually self-
supporting
 lower – may not earn living wage or work
continuously, may need assistance to support
families, may include the poor

18. Estate System is a
politically based
system of
stratification
characterized by
limited social
mobility that is best
exemplified in the
social organization
of feudal Europe
and the pre–Civil
War American
South.
Caste System is a
system of
stratification based
on hereditary
notions of religious
and theological
purity and generally
offers no prospects
for social mobility.
The varna system in
India is the most
common example
today of a caste
system.
Class System is an
economically based
system of
stratification
characterized by
somewhat loose
social mobility and
categories based on
roles in the
production process
rather than
individual
characteristics.

19.  Countries stratified into 3 levels:
 Core (wealthy, highly developed, slow pop. growth,
high standard of living) – U.S., Europe
 Periphery (poor, less developed, rapid pop. growth,
lower standard of living) -Africa
 Semi-periphery (beginning to develop; may become
core) India, China

realities of stratification to social and
political stratification?
