Social class is defined in different ways by Marx and Weber. Marx saw social class as defined by access to resources and means of production, dividing society into owners and workers. Weber defined social class based on wealth, power, and prestige, seeing a hierarchy with different levels. In the U.S., income and wealth are highly concentrated among the top 20% of the population, while the bottom 20% receive a very small share, a distribution that has changed little over time. Social class has consequences for factors like health, education, politics, and crime, and mobility between classes is limited. Poverty disproportionately impacts certain groups and persisting poverty can span generations.

100 Women Making A Difference
This document introduces a list called "100 Women Making a Difference" that recognizes accomplished women in Chicago. It notes that while many honorees were highly accomplished in their fields 23 years ago, few were household names due to lack of press coverage outside their fields. Today, more women leaders are widely known for their work. The list profiles 100 women across various fields like finance, law, education and philanthropy who have made a significant impact in Chicago and beyond through their efforts, though many other deserving women were omitted due to the list's limited size.
Chapter 8 socio
This document discusses social class and inequality, including different systems of social stratification such as slavery, caste systems, and social class. It examines theories of social class from Marx, Weber, and Bourdieu. It also explores how socioeconomic status impacts life chances in areas like education, work, health, crime, and mobility between social classes.

This document explores the feasibility of establishing affordable housing cooperatives in Milwaukee for low and moderate income residents. Key findings from a preliminary market analysis show that median income in Milwaukee County fell by 10.3% from 2005 to 2014. Over half of occupied homes in the city of Milwaukee are renter-occupied. The document recommends that affordable housing cooperatives cater to families overburdened by housing costs, especially women of color with children. Locating cooperatives in areas with economic need for subsidized housing could help address Milwaukee's shortage of affordable options.
Poverty in the UK

Stratificationchapter7 rev 2 10-14-18
This document discusses social stratification and inequality in the United States. It begins by defining stratification as systematic inequalities between groups that arise from social processes and relationships. It then examines different theories of stratification, sources of stratification like class, race and gender, and measures of socioeconomic status. The document also looks at poverty, mobility, and explanations for inequality in areas like wealth, income, health, and political power.
Stratification
Stratification refers to systematic inequalities between groups that arise from social processes and relationships. There are different theories about the causes of stratification. Functionalists believe it motivates people to fill needed roles, while conflict theorists see it resulting from exploitation. Stratification is measured in various ways and takes different forms, including the class system which is based on economic roles with some social mobility.
Women, Poverty & Welfare
This chapter discusses lessons learned about women and welfare. It summarizes that women's lives are more complex than commonly believed and social policy does not adequately address the causes of poverty. The chapter also outlines some of the barriers poor women face, including sexism, low wages in female-dominated jobs, and lack of resources like childcare and transportation. It considers whether welfare reform has been a success and suggests potential reforms like providing more structural supports and a basic income program. Finally, it compares the U.S. approach to poverty to other countries that tend to have more universal, comprehensive social welfare systems and lower child poverty rates.
Loyola presentation 2020
The document discusses Equal Pay Day in Chicago and the gender pay gap. It provides statistics showing women earn less than men one year after graduating from college, even when controlling for relevant factors. Women tend to major in different fields than men and are often paid less within the same fields and jobs. A 7% unexplained pay gap remains. Equal Pay Day Chicago is a coalition of over 70 organizations working to raise awareness of the gender pay gap and collaborate on solutions. The coalition organizes an annual rally on the Daley Center Plaza with speakers, performances, and activities to engage the public.

It provides analysis of each area and considers their implications for children with disabilities.
Atlanta Regional Housing Forum, Alan Berube
The document summarizes the key points made in a report by Alan Berube of the Brookings Institution on confronting suburban poverty in the Atlanta region. It notes that poverty has increasingly shifted to the suburbs, where the poor population doubled in Atlanta's suburbs between 2000-2010. However, current anti-poverty policies and programs are not well-aligned with this new suburban geography of poverty. The document calls for a new agenda focused on regional solutions that achieve scale, collaborate across boundaries, and fund strategies in a more strategic metropolitan-wide manner.
Amanda Jones: Networking for Youth Housing
This document discusses issues related to youth homelessness in Washington D.C. It provides estimates that the number of homeless youth in the U.S. varies widely from 1.35 million to over 2 million. Defining and tracking homeless youth is difficult as they tend to be transient and hide their status. Causes of youth homelessness include family instability, abuse, aging out of foster care or the juvenile justice system, and personal economic issues. Problems homeless youth face include interrupted education, poor financial outlook, assault, teen pregnancy and criminal activity. The document then provides data on the number of homeless youth in D.C. and discusses strategies cities can employ like prevention and outreach and lists some service providers in D.C.
Chicago PowerPoint
This document summarizes the key findings of a report by Elizabeth Kneebone and Alan Berube on confronting suburban poverty in the Chicago region. It finds that the geography of poverty has shifted substantially to suburbs, with over half of the region's poor now living in suburban areas. However, current policies are not well-aligned to address the challenges of suburban poverty, such as limited access to services, fragmented governance, and inflexible funding. The report calls for a new agenda focused on achieving scale for solutions, collaborating across boundaries, and funding strategies that leverage both public and private resources to create opportunities in metropolitan regions.
S'field Support For Downtown Action Plan
The document discusses the "Broken Windows Theory" which suggests that signs of disorder and neglect in a neighborhood like broken windows, graffiti, and litter can lead to further disorder and decline as other residents move away. It also discusses how disorder is evident through junk, trash, decaying buildings, vandalism, and abandoned cars. These conditions signal a breakdown in the social order and can propel neighborhoods into further trouble if not addressed. The document then provides recommendations to stabilize downtown areas, improve neighborhoods along waterways like Hogan's Creek, and implement place-changing marketing strategies to combat visual blight and create urban vibrancy.
Poverty Module - Copy & Design Layout
This document provides an overview of a module on poverty for intermediate adult learners. It discusses measuring and understanding poverty, including its cultural aspects and demographics in the US.

A variety of reference materials on defining and analyzing poverty are provided.
CBMA Midwest, Presentation by Andrew Grant-Thomas, Black Male Achievement: Ta...
This document summarizes research on opportunities and challenges facing black males. It finds that while there has been some progress in educational attainment and business ownership for black males, most live in areas with low economic opportunity. Research identifies factors such as lack of jobs, low educational resources, family instability, and incarceration that impact outcomes. However, the document also emphasizes community strengths like economic power within the black community, political influence, and opportunities for coalition building across racial groups. It provides examples of successful coalitions in Chicago and Milwaukee that have addressed issues like workforce development.
Disability Equality
With its focus on disability equality theory and the medical and social models of disability, this programme encourages participants to think about how they can tackle disability discrimination at work. It promotes an organisational response, helping teams to enable the fuller participation of disabled people. By removing physical, attitudinal and systemic barriers and fostering an understanding of disablism, participants are more able to address cultural change within their organisations. Furthermore, the approach to changing environment and culture is consistent with other current theories and guidance that are applied widely across our services.
Social Classes And Poverty2
The document discusses social class divisions in the United States. It identifies 6 social classes - upper class, upper middle class, lower middle class, working class, working poor, and underclass. It provides details on the estimated population size, education levels, occupations, and income ranges for each class. Upward and downward mobility between classes is also addressed, as well as factors like education, technology, health, and unemployment that can impact social mobility. Poverty in the US is also summarized, including government assistance programs.
Disability Awareness Training Slideshow
This document provides information and guidance on disability awareness training. It discusses why institutions should make themselves accessible to people with disabilities from institutional, economic, and legal perspectives. It defines disability from a social model perspective and discusses invisible disabilities. It also covers communication strategies, welcoming different groups with disabilities, accessibility design, accommodations, and the accessible web. The overall goal is to promote inclusion and equal opportunities for people with disabilities.
Week 11 zenab
Citizenship provides people with rights and duties within their country, including voting, living and working there. The document discusses inequality, specifically gender inequality, which refers to unequal treatment based on gender from differences in social roles and biology. It notes that women are often paid less than men for the same work due to stereotypes viewing women as less competent. While the gender pay gap has decreased in some countries, obstacles remain like women taking on a double workload at home and in the workplace. The biggest challenge to gender equality in the workplace is said to be environments requiring long hours and availability that disadvantage women's family responsibilities.
Disability Powerpoint
Individuals with disabilities have historically been treated as second class citizens in Canada. They were institutionalized and faced discrimination. Labels like "idiot" and "moron" were used to describe people with disabilities, influencing negative perceptions. While the Ontario Human Rights Code now prohibits disability discrimination, individuals with disabilities still face barriers to full inclusion and equality including higher rates of poverty, lack of support programs, and social stigma. Solutions include changing perceptions of disability, improving support systems, and promoting greater awareness and acceptance of individuals with disabilities.

1. The keynote address discusses structural racialization and how racial inequalities are perpetuated through institutional and systemic arrangements rather than individual racist actors.
2. Structural racialization accounts for how the cumulative interactions between institutions produce racialized outcomes, with people situated differently with regards to access to opportunity structures.
3. Targeted universalism is proposed as a framework to remedy opportunity isolation and promote justice, where universal policies acknowledge differentiated impacts and connect marginalized groups to opportunities.Mce summit press release

Chapter 10 inequalities of gender and age
The document discusses the roles of biology and culture in defining gender identities. While biological differences exist between males and females, gender identity is largely formed through social and cultural influences. Margaret Mead's studies of different tribes found that gender roles varied significantly between cultures and were not fixed by biology. The document concludes that gender identity can be modified by social and cultural factors even if biological characteristics exist.
Disability Studies 101: Changing Perceptions
A presentation created by the Miami University Students with Disabilities Advisory Council (SDAC) to build awareness of disability issues amongst our campus community
Social Inequality Essay
This document discusses gender inequality and discrimination against women in three key areas: sports, the workplace, and media portrayal. It notes that women receive less funding and attention for sports than men and are often judged based on their appearance rather than athletic ability. In the workplace, women on average earn only 77 cents for every dollar earned by men, face a glass ceiling, and have fewer opportunities for advancement. The media perpetuates these issues by predominantly portraying women based on unrealistic physical standards and stereotypical gender roles. Overall, the document argues that society needs to promote gender equality and end discrimination against women across these domains.

This presentation defines social class and is the lead-in to a presentation on how social class is represented in Chaplin's movie, Modern Times
Explaining social class[1]
This document discusses sociological views of social class. It describes Karl Marx's view that capitalist society consists of two main social classes: the bourgeoisie (upper/ruling class) who own property and the means of production, and exploit the proletariat (working class) for profit. It also describes Max Weber's view that there are four main social classes based on life chances and access to status, wealth, and political influence. Functionalism is also mentioned as viewing social stratification as a system of inequality based on talent.

This document provides an overview of civil society participation in the 49th session of the UN Commission for Social Development in 2011. It describes how NGOs were involved through a Civil Society Forum on the theme of poverty eradication, and in the Commission's discussions on poverty trends, social protection policies, and issues related to groups like persons with disabilities, youth, older persons, and families. The report aims to guide new NGOs on engaging with the UN on social development issues.Social class in_the_united_states
Social class is defined based on wealth, power, and prestige. There are generally considered to be six social classes in the United States ranging from the upper class with incomes over $1,000,000 to the underclass with incomes under $10,000. One's social class impacts many life outcomes such as health, behaviors, marriage, and likelihood of incarceration. While social mobility is possible, it is often limited between generations and for disadvantaged groups such as women and racial minorities.
The Experience of Poverty in an Unequal Society - Sarah Welford
Sarah Welford, Policy and Parliamentary Officer from Poverty Alliance, talks about the experience of poverty in today's unequal society.
The Whose Economy? seminars, organised by Oxfam Scotland and the University of the West of Scotland, brought together experts to look at recent changes in the Scottish economy and their impact on Scotland's most vulnerable communities.
Held over winter and spring 2010-11 in Edinburgh, Inverness, Glasgow and Stirling, the series posed the question of what economy is being created in Scotland and, specifically, for whom?

Causes of world poverty
The document discusses different types of natural disasters and their impacts. It notes that earthquakes are the deadliest natural disasters, killing many through collapsing buildings and fires. It also states that flooding is the most expensive type of disaster, with flood damage costs reaching hundreds of billions of euros annually. Additionally, at least 500 million people live near active volcanoes, which can bury areas with ash and lava during eruptions.
poverty as a challange
The document discusses different aspects and definitions of poverty. It defines poverty as not having enough money to meet basic needs like food, shelter and clothing. The World Bank further describes poverty as hunger, lack of shelter, inability to access healthcare or education. The document also discusses different methods used to measure and define poverty, including relative poverty based on income comparisons between regions, and absolute poverty based on minimum calorie intake and consumption levels. It notes several groups that are most vulnerable to poverty in India, including scheduled tribes, casual and agricultural laborers, and scheduled castes. Several government schemes aimed at poverty alleviation are also outlined.
Closing the funding gap edu363 final
The document discusses the issue of unequal funding between schools in wealthy versus impoverished areas in the United States. It notes that schools in low-income areas often receive less funding than schools in wealthier districts, due to reliance on local property taxes for school funding. This creates inequities where low-income students have fewer resources and opportunities compared to their wealthier peers, perpetuating the cycle of poverty. The document proposes implementing a policy of equal distribution of excess funds between all schools to create more equitable access to education resources.
Craetive Project Powerpoint
The document discusses food insecurity and the working poor in America. It finds that 48.1 million Americans experience food insecurity, including 6.9 million households with very low food security. Food insecurity disproportionately impacts households with children, especially those headed by single parents, as well as black and Hispanic households. The working poor, who work at least 27 weeks per year but remain in poverty, make up 13% of black and Hispanic workers and 16% of part-time workers. The document also profiles a boy named Elias who attends a community center where most families live close to the poverty line and struggle with adequate nutrition.
15 Poverty Discourse
The document discusses different perspectives on poverty and proposes that people are not inherently poor but are made poor due to faults in existing systems. It argues that poverty is a result of lack of education, awareness, and proper leadership. It calls for reforms to systems and leadership with visions for nation building to empower people and utilize a country's potential for development.
Usa poverty
Poverty is defined as subpar living conditions compared to the surrounding area and is subject to change over time. The US defines poverty through an annual ratio issued by the Census Bureau that accounts for inflation but has not been substantially updated since the 1960s. It is calculated using USDA and food expenditure data. Critics argue it does not adequately capture factors like assets and costs of living. There are differences between Democratic and Republican views on how to address poverty, with Democrats favoring more government assistance programs and Republicans preferring less government intervention and believing individuals are responsible for their economic situations. Current policies under the Republican-led House propose deep cuts to programs assisting low-income Americans.
UN Day of Families 2011
Celebrations of the United Nations Day of Families organized by Universal Peace Federation chapters, May 15, 2011
The Universal Peace Federation affirms the value of the family as the core unit of society. The family has formed the basis for communities, societies and civilizations throughout the ages. Virtually all the world’s religions teach the sacred value of marriage and family. The family is the school of love. It is also the school of virtue, ethics and citizenship.
The cohesion and stability of the family are prerequisites for a healthy and stable society. Conversely, the breakdown of the family contributes to a wide range of social problems. By strengthening the family, we can build a stronger base of social capital that will enhance the overall quality of life for everyone.
The natural family is grounded in marriage, the cornerstone of the family. Children benefit from having loving parents, a mother and father, who are committed to the well-being of their sons and daughters. There is no greater joy and no greater responsibility than that of raising boys and girls to become mature, socially-engaged and successful men and women. This is the role and responsibility of parents and grandparents.
Traditional marriage and family are being challenged in a variety of ways at this time in history, by poverty, migration, displacement, urbanization, conflict, disease, etc. In addition, some question the value of traditional marriage and family. Others seek to redefine them. Despite these challenges, men and women the world over still aspire to build strong, loving, lasting marriages and, as parents, to raise children who prosper and flourish.

Gdit 819 social justice phase iii
The document discusses the effects of poverty on childhood language and literacy development. It notes that language is key to literacy learning and that exposure to words helps develop knowledge. Poverty can negatively impact early language skills and language stimulation children receive. Research shows a gap in the number of words, variety of words, and time spent with reading that children from low-income homes hear compared to children from higher-income homes. This language gap can be detected as early as 18 months of age. Strategies used in high-performing, high-poverty schools include effective leadership, engaging parents and the community, having high expectations, focusing on reading, aligning the curriculum, using data, building instructional capacity, and optimizing time

The 'Broken' Society: Stigmatising Poverty and Disadvantage? - Gerry Mooney
Dr Gerry Mooney, from the Open University, talks about the stigmatisation of poverty and disadvantage.
Stephen Boyd, Assistant Secretary of the Scottish Trade Unions Congress, talks about how the Scottish economy works.
The Whose Economy? seminars, organised by Oxfam Scotland and the University of the West of Scotland, brought together experts to look at recent changes in the Scottish economy and their impact on Scotland's most vulnerable communities.
Held over winter and spring 2010-11 in Edinburgh, Inverness, Glasgow and Stirling, the series posed the question of what economy is being created in Scotland and, specifically, for whom?

Global Poverty
Global poverty remains a significant challenge, with over 1 billion people living on less than $1.25 per day according to recent UN estimates. The UN Millennium Development Goals aimed to reduce extreme poverty by half by 2015, but progress has stalled due to the global financial crisis and food insecurity issues. Achieving the MDGs will require increased funding from developed nations, sustainable economic growth in developing regions, and coordinated international efforts to address issues like climate change and pandemic diseases. While the goals may now be difficult to meet by the 2015 deadline, with commitment and action poverty can still be significantly reduced on a global scale.

Bradford mvsu stratification and inequality 2013
This document outlines key concepts around inequality and stratification. It discusses rising income inequality in the US over time, with the top 10% earning a larger share of total income. It also examines global poverty trends, showing declines but with hundreds of millions still living in extreme poverty. The document reviews several theories for how stratification and inequality arise in societies, such as structural factors that can reinforce differences through "rich get richer" effects rather than only individual talents and efforts. Maintaining equality is important for health, well-being and social cohesion.
Stratification Chapter 7
Stratification refers to systematic inequalities between groups that arise from social processes and relationships. Social stratification creates a hierarchy in society where groups have unequal access to resources, power, and social worth. It can take various forms like class, race, and gender, which overlap and influence life chances. Theories of stratification like functionalism see it as necessary for society, while conflict theory views it as certain groups exploiting others. Stratification is evident in the United States through inequality in income, wealth, health outcomes, and poverty rates along racial and gender lines.
Socioeconomic Status and Health Care LN8
This document discusses the relationship between socioeconomic status and health in the United States.

These dimensions determine one's socioeconomic status and influence life chances. The document outlines the major social classes in the U.S. including the upper, upper-middle, middle, working, and lower classes. It also discusses poverty, the working poor, underclass, and attempts to address and explain poverty.

There are generally considered to be six social classes in the United States ranging from the upper class with incomes over $1,000,000 to the underclass with incomes under $10,000. One's social class impacts many life outcomes such as health, behaviors, marriage, and likelihood of incarceration. While social mobility is possible, it is often limited between generations and for disadvantaged groups such as women and racial minorities.

- 2. What is social class? Sociologists have no clear-cut definition of social class. The two schools of thought are: Marx Weber
- 3. Marx and Social Class Conflict theorists (based Marx’s teaching) see 2 social classes: those who have means of production & those who do not. Ex-The doctor who makes $500,000 a year has access to resources that the $13,0000 a year burger flipper does not.
- 4. Weber and Social Class Weber defined social class as “a large group of people who rank close to one another in wealth, power, and prestige” (Henslin, 2007:260). There are distinctions between wealth and income: Wealth is the value of a person’s property minus its debts. Examples of this would be land, buildings, back accounts etc.
- 5. Income is the flow of money. Examples of this would include paycheck, disability benefits, stocks & bonds etc.

- 9. The More Things Change The More They Stay The Same… Income really hasn’t changed since the end of the Great Depression. The richest 20% receive all most half of the nation’s income (46.2%), while the poorest 20% receive only 4.2% of the nation’s income. Despite government anti-poverty efforts, the poorest 20% of the population receive the same % of income they did in 1935.

- 11. It’s not just about $, it’s about lifestyle… Having access to money gives you access to resources (i.e. healthcare, food, shelter etc.). For people on the lower end of the scale not having access to resources could cause them to make some tough decisions (i.e. do I buy food or pay the heating bill this month?).
- 12. Power Power is defined as: “the ability to carry out your will, even over the resistance of others”(Henslin, 2007:263). Some sociologists believe that the a small group of people make the big decisions for U.S. society. Mills called this the “power elite” (Henslin,2007:263).
- 13. Prestige Prestige is respect or regard. Occupations and Prestige They Pay More They Require More Education They Entail More Abstract Thought They Offer Greater Autonomy
- 14. Sociological Models of Social Class Updating Marx business owners. Capitalists-large Bourgeoisie-small business owners. Petty sell their own labor but Managers-who have authority over others. who simply sell their Workers-people labor.
- 15. Sociological Models of Social Class Updating Weber Capitalist Class-this top 1% is worth more then the bottom 90%of the country. The Upper Middle Class-most shaped by education. Often works for the capitalist class. The Lower Middle Class-work lower-level management, but are often able to climb the social ladder. The Working Class-have a high school education. Consider “suits” as having no real skills. The Working Poor-work minimal jobs, often high school dropouts. The Underclass-here poverty persists across generations.
