Social stratification divides society into hierarchical groups based on factors like wealth, occupation, and education. The bourgeoisie own businesses and capital, while the proletariat work for the bourgeoisie's businesses. Education levels also differ between classes, with the bourgeoisie typically receiving more schooling.Global Stratificatio Nppt5

Global stratification can be categorized into three broad groups: most industrialized nations, industrializing nations, and least industrialized nations. The least industrialized nations consist of half the world's land and 70% of its people. Poverty is severe in these nations, where lives are shaped by hunger, disease, and unsafe housing. It is estimated that over 100 million children in poor countries work or live on the streets to survive, lacking adequate food, education, and medical care. The concentration of wealth in high-income countries coupled with grinding poverty in low-income nations may be one of the biggest challenges facing humanity today.Global Stratification: Race

- Social stratification refers to a hierarchy based on property, power and prestige that exists in all societies. The major stratification systems are slavery, caste, estate and class.
- Karl Marx and Max Weber proposed different theories for what determines social class - Marx argued it is ownership of production means, while Weber argued it is a combination of property, power and prestige.
- Functionalists argue stratification is universal because societies must offer greater rewards to attract capable people to important positions, but conflict theorists see it as a result of elite groups struggling over limited resources.
- Nations can be divided into three groups based on industrialization - most, industrializing, and least industrialized, representing their relative property, power andChapter 9 Social Stratification (Introduction of Sociology and Anthropology)

This document discusses concepts related to social stratification and mobility. It defines social stratification as the ranking of individuals and groups in a society into a hierarchy of social categories. Stratification systems can be open, allowing mobility, or closed, restricting mobility. The document contrasts the functionalist and conflict theories of stratification. Functionalist theory views stratification as necessary for society, while conflict theory sees it as arising from competition and maintaining inequality. The document also discusses concepts like social classes, castes, estates, and types of social mobility including upward, horizontal, and geographic mobility.C06 Henslin9e

This document discusses bureaucracies and formal organizations. It notes that bureaucracies have clear levels, a division of labor, written rules and procedures, and impersonal relationships. Potential dysfunctions of bureaucracies include red tape, a lack of communication between units, and bureaucratic alienation. Voluntary associations can advance interests, offer identity, and help govern societies. However, they may also experience issues like high turnover, the problem of oligarchy where leaders grow distant, and an "iron law of oligarchy." The document also examines humanizing corporate culture and differences between U.S. and Japanese corporations.C07 Henslin9e

This document discusses Carol Ann Duffy's poem "Shooting Stars" and how it effectively portrays human suffering through its ambiguous title and imagery. The title refers to the Stars of David sewn onto the clothing of Jews, not actual falling stars. Through minimal yet powerful descriptions, Duffy highlights the horror of Nazi persecution of Jews. She contrasts the immense suffering with everyday human activities to emphasize how readers quickly forget such atrocities as they return to their daily lives.Test Bank for Sociology in Our Times, 11th Edition, Diana Kendall

Chapter 7 Bureaucracy And Formal Organizationsplisasm

Formal organizations and bureaucracies are rational, rules-based structures designed to achieve explicit goals efficiently. Bureaucracy refers specifically to organizations with clear hierarchies, division of labor, impersonal roles, and emphasis on written rules and records. While effective for their goals, formal structures can also lead to alienation among workers and goal displacement over time. The "Iron Law of Oligarchy" holds that organizations tend to become dominated by a small, self-perpetuating elite, distant from regular members. To counter these issues, some advocate for more humanizing work environments that distribute power evenly and use work teams.Chapter 6 Societies To Social Networks

This document summarizes the evolution of human societies from hunting and gathering groups to modern industrial and post-industrial societies. Key points include:
- Early societies depended on hunting and gathering or pastoral/horticultural activities. The agricultural revolution led to larger agricultural societies based on plows and farming.
- The industrial revolution saw machines powered by fuels replace human and animal labor, leading to industrial societies. Now information and services dominate in postindustrial/information societies.
- Groups within societies can be primary, involving close personal ties, or secondary based on interests. In-groups and reference groups influence identity and behavior.
