1. OPEN SYSTEM
•The individual may change his or her social/status through 'achieve status' (meaning, the person's
achievement in the society will become the basis of the social status).
Example:
CLASS SYSTEM is a social stratification based on both birth and individual achievement. The
system is common in industrial societies.
In United States of America, citizens are classified by their income, and wealth, and the things like
education, social status and livelihood. The government has no control over this social status
because the individual has the right to achieve things to move and change your social status in the
hierarchy.

2. CLOSED
SYSTEM
•The individual has no right to change his/her social status in the
society, and if there is, it is only very limited because the social status is

of your status at definite time).
Example:
CASTE SYSTEM is social stratification based on ascription or birth.
