Max Weber's theory of social stratification analyzed how social class, status, and political power interacted to determine people's life chances. Weber argued that social class was based on economic interests and wealth, while status groups were communities linked by shared lifestyles and prestige. Weber also identified three ideal types of authority: traditional authority based on longstanding tradition, charismatic authority based on personal attributes, and legal-rational authority based on bureaucratic rules and procedures. Overall, Weber emphasized analyzing stratification through multiple, interrelated factors beyond just economic class like Marx had.

TITLEEEEE
Introduction
Social class is a hierarchy in which groups and individuals are categorized according
to prestige and esteem developed from wealth and economic success. A social class simply
means a set of individuals with the same levels of wealth, status and influence are grouped
together. According to Karl Marx Theory of social class, what differentiates one category of
a society from another it’s the method of production. Each method of production forms a
certain class system which controls the production while the other classes are the producers
and provide service to the prevailing class.
Sociologists use three approaches to determine a social class. The approaches used
include objective, reputational, and subjective methods. The objective method is where
sociologists measure and evaluate physical facts. On the subjective method, individuals are
questioned on how they think about themselves, while on the reputational method individuals
are asked on how they think about other people. Through this approach, people are divided
into various social classes.
Emile 2
The four main social classes include the upper, middle, working and lower class.
These social classes only are classified in America. The upper class are the individuals that
have the supreme status in society. From my understanding these people are very wealthy
and have a lot of power. Some occupation of these individuals may be investors, CEOs ,
heirs and some celebrities. The middle class are individuals that are considered white collar
workers and these individuals may work in the professional setting. The working class are
the individuals of low status occupations such as manual labor, food and retail jobs, blue
collar jobs, jobs where you are in a cubicle, and even caring jobs such as home health aides.
The lower class, which is at the bottom, are individuals with low education that leads to low
status jobs which leads to low income.
According to the book Social Class and Stratification: Classic Statements and
Theoretical Debates edited by Rhonda F. Levine, she writes “When societies are complex
and service large populations, they always possess some kind of status system which, by its
own values, places people on higher or lower positions” (Levine 71). This quote stood out to
me because Levine is saying that is almost inevitable to not have a hierarchy within a society.
A system is put in place to have some kind of order within the society, so with a system
hierarchy is needed. ...

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

• Social Stratification
• Social Stratification Principles
• Example of Social Stratification
• Pictures of social stratification
• Table showing social stratification
• Sociological overview of Max Weber
• Weber's Theory of Social Class
• Few general concepts
• Legitimating of Authority
3. What Is 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.
• Social stratification refers to the system of ranking people into
groups according to one or more criteria deemed important to
society. These include race, colour and wealth among others. It
can also be defined as the process by which society is divided in
terms of hierarchy where one social group is placed higher than
another group. This hierarchy is a rank order of groups and is
linked strongly to perceptions of ethnicity, colour, class and even
gender.
4. Social Stratification Principles
• It is based on four 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
5. Example of Social Stratification
• Social stratification
and the African
influences in
American slave
communities
7. Table showing social stratification
CLASS COLOUR STATUS
Upper class/caste/ruling elites Traditionally white Own wealth, means of
production and political power
Intermediate class/caste Mulatto/browns Usually educated ,own some
wealth, desire but lack
political power
Working class/caste Blacks Slaves, uneducated, lack
wealth and political power
8. Sociological overview of Max Weber
• Max Weber was strongly influenced by Marx's ideas,
but rejected the possibility of effective communism,
arguing that it would require an even greater level of
detrimental social control and bureaucratization than
capitalist society. Moreover, Weber criticized
the dialectical presumption of proletariat revolt,
believing it to be unlikely.
• He emphasized the difference between class, status,
and power, and treated these as separate but related
sources of power, each with different effects on social
action.
9. Weber's Theory of Social Class
• Marx saw class divisions as the most important source
• of social conflict.
• Weber's analysis of class is similar to Marx's, but he discusses
• class in the context of social stratification more generally.
• Class is one dimension of the social structure.
• Social status, or "social honor," is another.
• Both are significant contributors
• of social difference.
• In order to fully understand Weber's perspective on stratification,
11. Power
• POWER -> ability of an actor (or actors) to realize his or her will
in a social action, even against the will of other actors. Power
relates to the ability to command resources in a particular
domain.
• Economic power, then, is the ability to control material
resources: to direct production, to monopolize accumulation,
to dictate consumption.
• Societal power includes economic power, social power, legal or
political power, and so forth. Although the control of these
domains of resources usually go together, they represent
different mechanisms of power, and are conceptually distinct.
12. Domination
• Domination is the exercise of
authority .
• Possession of power in a
sphere results in dominance.
Weber articulated three ideal
types of domination:
charisma, tradition and
rational-legal.
Communal & Societal Action
• A communal action is oriented
on the basis of a shared belief of
affiliation. In other words, actors
believe that they somehow
belong together in some way.
Their action stems from, and is
co-ordinated by this sentiment.
In contrast, societal action is
oriented to a rational
adjustment of interests. The
motivation is not a sense of
shared purpose, but rather, a
recognition of shared interests.
13. Class
• 3 aspects of class:
(i) a specific causal component of actors life chances
(ii) which rests exclusively on economic interests and
wealth,
(iii) is represented under conditions of labour and
commodity markets.
Status
• status groups normally are
communities (class groups do
not constitute communities,
according to Weber)
• Status is defined as the
likelihood that life chances are
determined by social honour,
or, prestige. Status groups are
linked by a common style of life,
and the attendant social
restrictions.
Class and status interests interact
in the realm of the legal order, the
arena of politics. Political power
is, obviously, often based on class
and status interests. Parties are
the organizations of power.
Party
14. Legitimating of Authority
• Three Ideal Types of Authority
1. Traditional: Authority entirely comes from the fact authority has
always rested in that person or position.
2. Charismatic: Contrasted with traditional authority. The
authority of charismatics resides entirely in their personal
attributes. Weber argues that these are people who present
themselves as people who possess “special gifts,” almost or
exactly supernatural. Their position is predicated on the
continuing proof of their special powers.
3. Legal-Rational: Authority by codified law. Whomever holds the
position is entitled to authority and carries with them the
capacity for power. Usually held in bureaucracies.
