Social division refers to the arrangement of society into hierarchies based on unequal power, property, social evaluation, and gratification. Society can be divided into classes, categories, or ranks. This leads to social inequality as resources and rewards are distributed unequally. Division of labor separates tasks between industries, firms, and worker occupations. Social status can be ascribed, such as one's family background, or achieved through one's own efforts and merits. A social class shares an economic position based on wealth and income. Mobility within or between classes can change one's status and position in society. Race is a social construct where meaning has been attached to physical and social characteristics used to categorize and group people. Ethnicity refers to belonging

Social Inequality & Social StratificationWeek 5 Onli.docxjensgosney
Social Inequality &
Social Stratification
Week 5: Online
Social Inequality v. Stratification
Inequality = Unequal rewards
Stratification = Groups created by or groupings that create unequal rewards
Social Inequality
Unequal sharing of scarce resources and social rewards
How are rewards distributed?
Caste system: (closed system, movement impossible)
Scarce resources and social networks are distributed on the basis of ascribed statuses
Class system: (open system, movement possible?)
Rewards are determined on the basis of achieved statuses
Social Class
A social class is a group of people who share a similar economic position in society based on their wealth and income.
Therefore, social class is essentially an economic stratification system.
Social Class (Max Weber)
What determines social class?
Wealth: income, property, assets
Power: The ability of people or groups to achieve their goals despite opposition by others (Ex: political parties)
Prestige: The respect person or status position is shown by others (Ex: doctors)
Social Mobility
Social mobility refers to the movement within the social structure, from one social position to another (changing social statuses).
Types of mobility:
Horizontal
Vertical
Social Mobility
Horizontal mobility: A change in occupational position or role without a change of position in the social hierarchy
Vertical mobility:
Movement from one status to another
Movement within the social hierarchy
A change within the lifetime of an individual to a higher or lower status than the person had to begin with
Horizontal examples: When a rural laborer comes to the city and becomes an industrial worker or a manager takes a position in another company there are no significant changes in their position in the hierarchy. Those are the examples of horizontal mobility.
Vertical examples: But if an industrial worker becomes a businessman or lawyer he has radically changed his position in the stratification system.

Social Stratification
R. W. Murray defines social stratification as:
“… arrangement of any social group or society into hierarchy of positions that are unequal with regard to power, property, social evaluation, and psychic gratification.”
The division of society into classes, categories, or ranks.
Division in society, leads to social inequality.
Social Stratification
Groups created by or groupings that create unequal rewards.
Most common divisions:
Class
Race
Ethnicity
Gender
Sexuality
We will spend the next few weeks discussing these stratification systems

This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

2. SOCIAL DIVISION
R. W. Murray defines social DIVISION as, “arrangement of any
social group or society into hierarchy of positions that are
unequal with regard to power, property, social evaluation
and psychic gratification ”.
The DIVISION of society into classes, categories or ranks.
DIVISION in society, leads to social inequality
3. Social division of labor, one of the two aspects of
the division of labor, is the social structural
foundation of the specialized commodity production

Caste System:
Scarce resources and social rewards are distributed on the basis of
ascribed statuses
Class system:

SOCIAL INEQUALITY
6. The division of society is also based upon either
an open, or closed system.
OPEN (movement =possible)
Status is achieved through merit, and effort. This is sometimes known
as a meritocracy. The UK is a relatively open society, although
disadvantaged groups within society face a glass ceiling.
Closed (movement = impossible)
Status is ascribed, rather than achieved. Ascribed status can be based
upon several factors, such as family background (e.g. the feudal
system consists of landowners and serfs). Political factors may also
play a role (e.g. societies organized on the basis of communism), as
can ethnicity (e.g. the former apartheid regime in South Africa) and
religion.
7. Type of social status
1. Ascribed Status - The social class position
allocated to an individual by society as a result of
factors over which the individual has no control.
2. Achieved Status - The social class position
which an individual acquires as a result of his/her
own activities.

Power – teachers have power over their students,
they help shapes the lives of children.
Prestige- children with parents with high income
levels are viewed highly than the labour workers ,

21.
22. RACE DEFINED:
There are no biologically “pure” races.
RACE- Is a category of people who share inherited
physical characteristics and whom others see as being a
distinctive group
Racial social DIVISION is built upon idea that
social differences are linked with hereditary
characteristics which differ between races.
23. A Brief History of race
Race did not exist until the European
expansion and exploration beginning
around 1500 until then.
People were divided on the basis of
religion, class, language or status.
24. A Brief History of race
Historically scholars have placed people into three
groups:
1. Caucasians-fair skin and straight or wavy hair (whites)
2. Mongoloids-yellowish or brownish skin with distinctive folds
on the eyelids (Asians)
3. Negroids-dark skin and tightly curled hair (blacks)
However, this well known classification system has difficulty
describing the complexity of race.
26. Social Status and Effects of
“Race”
Life chances ( how social class, social status and ,
Schooling affect each individual's life)
Where you live
How you are treated
Access to wealth, power and prestige
Access to education, housing, and other valued
resources
Life expectancy
27. The Social Construction of
Race
Race is important because of the social meaning people have attached to it.
Race is a social construct based on how people define themselves and
others on physical and social characteristics.
Racial classifications are a function of how people define, label and
categorize themselves and others into groups.
A majority group – is one that is culturally, economically and
politically dominant.
A minority group – is one that is culturally, economically and
politically subordinate.
28. CHALLENGES FACED
Equal access to health care, educational
opportunities, treatment in the criminal-
justice system, environmental racism.
Assimilating(sentences) into a foreign
society, learning English, open
discrimination(Gender inequality in UN), hate
crimes.
29. Strategies for Ending Inequality
Antidiscrimination laws: outlaw discrimination on the
basis of race, color, religion, sex and national origin.
Affirmative action laws: require employers, schools
and others to increase the representation of groups
that historically have experienced discrimination.
MAKE A DIFFERENCE AS A TEACHER!
30. Race Advantages and Disadvantages
to Organization
Advantages:
Increased creativity (two different people are better than one)
Increased adaptability (develop a variety of solutions)
Melting Pot of ideas (large pool of ideas and experiences)
Increased productivity (Globalization and internalization are two of the gifts that workforce)
Increased range of services (people with different experiences, skills, cultural
understanding)
31. Disadvantages:
Communication Issues ( lack of cohesiveness)
Lack of freedom of speech (sensitive to others’ race, cultural
background, beliefs, etc)
Increased cost of training (seminars, programs and lectures designed)
Integration issues (groups form, informal divisions can occur)
Increased competition ( where people prefer to work separately)
Breeds disrespect (people who don’t accept other cultures and makes
unnecessary tension)
33. ETHNICITY The word “ethnicity” is of modern origin. In
America, it appears to have been used for the
first time in 1941 in W. Lloyd Warner and Paul S.
Lunt’s “The Social Life of a Modern Community”.
Warner used ethnicity in the sense of a trait that
“separates” the individual from some classes
and identifies him with others.
According to G .Thomas’ theory of the “definition
of the situation”
- The physical characteristics that identify the
group is not important but the feeling of belonging
to each other.
34. DEFINING ETHNICITY
Ethnicity - belonging to a group that shares the same characteristics,
such as country of origin, language, religion, ancestry and culture.
Ethnicity: refers to membership of in a culturally- and geographically
defined group that may share language, cultural practices, religion, or
other aspects.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT…
People of the same race can be of different ethnicities. For
example, Asians can be Japanese, Korean, Thai, or many other
ethnicities.
35. IDENTIFYING ETHNICITY GROUPS
An ethnic group is a socially distinct population that shares a common
language, culture, and a way of life. These groups are committed to the
ideas, norms, and material things that constitute that way of life.
They can be identified through ‘ethnic traits’ such as:
Diet >Burial customs
Dance, music >Pottery forms, and styles of decoration
Shared common history >Architecture
Language >Clothing, hairstyles
Religion, rituals
36. ETHNIC MINORITY GROUPS
Race and ethnicity are often incorrectly used
interchangeably due to the notion(ideas) of them being
“minority groups”.
Minority group is a sociological term for a group that
experiences discrimination, social disadvantages and
strong self-consciousness as a result of discriminations.
Not all minority groups are racial and ethnic groups, and
not all racial and ethnic groups are minority groups.
37. IMPLICATIONS FOR
INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN
Teaching styles should attempt to match learning styles
Material should be culturally relevant to the learners
Group activities
Cultural recognition/appreciation
Parent-teacher communication
38. Something to remember…
DIFFERENTIATING RACE AND
ETHNICITY
People COULD adopt any culture (ethnicity) regardless of
ancestry (race), but they do not.
People of common ancestry (race) tend to have similar
culture (ethnicity)
Thus, it is important not to blur the lines between “race”
and “ethnicity” since they are logically different.
40. GENDER
What is Gender?
According to Mustapha (2009),gender refers to the social, cultural,
emotional and psychological construction of masculinity and
femininity.
What is Gender about?
Social roles and relations between men and women in the society
It affects all parts of our lives (social, economic and political)
It changes over time and vary according to geographic location and
social content
41. GENDER
It is what we expect men and women to do and behave
It is about how power is used and shared
As a result there are:
Acceptable gender roles
Gender stereotyping for masculinity and femininity
Gender DIVISION (DIVISION of labor)
Gender bias
Gender inequality
42. True or Stereotyped?
Girls- socially aggressive, gossiping, cooperative
Boys- problems solvers, competitive, athletes
Girls- afraid of failure, better at Language and Literature
Boys- risk takers, better in Math and Physics
Girls- friendships conventional, intimate and personal
Boys- friendship is a common activity
43. EMPLOYMENT
Women are generally found in all the
lowest and jobs while men are often paid
higher.
In comparable positions in the workplace,
for example, women generally receive
lower wages than men.

52. CONCLUSION:
An organization's success (and competitiveness) depends upon its
ability to embrace diversity and realize the rewards that such a
program can bring.
Companies that encourage diversity in the workplace inspire all of
their employees to perform to their highest ability. With a company-
wide strategy in place, organizations can reap the benefits of higher
productivity, profit, and return on investment (ROI).
Moreover, a diversity program can enhance an organization's
responsiveness to an increasingly diverse world of customers,
increase the organization's ability to manage change, as well as
expand the creativity of the organization.
