E XPLORATIONS IN SOCIAL INEQUALITY An imbalance between rich and poor is the oldest and most fatal ailment of all republics Plutarch A 1979 Carnegie study ("Small Futures: Children, Inequality, and the Limits of Liberal Reform", Richard de Lone principal investigator) found that a child's future to be largely determined by social status, not brains. Consider Bobby and Jimmy, two second-graders, who both pay attention in the classroom, do well, and have nearly identical I.Q.s. Yet Bobby is the son of a successful lawyer; Jimmy's works infrequently as custodial assistant. Despite their similarities, the difference in the circumstances to which they were born makes it 27 times more likely that Bobby will get a job that by time he is in late 40s will pay him an income in the top tenth of all incomes in this country. Jimmy had about one chance in eight of earning even a median income. Now, more than two decades later, the projected inequality of fates of Bobby and Jimmy's second grade successors is even greater. For a variety of reasons to be here explored, inequality in the United States has increased to the extent that the gap between the rich and poor is larger now than at any point in the past 75 yearsgreater than that of any industrialized nation (see Edward N. Wolff's 1995 Top Heavy: A Study of Increasing Inequality of Wealth in America , Twentieth Century Fund). Federal Reserve figures for 1989 found the wealthiest 1 percent of American households (with net worth of at least $2.3 million

SOCIAL STRATIFICATION Robert E. Wood Department of Sociology, Anthropology and Criminal Justice Spring Semester 2000 Note: This syllabus will be extensively revised with new readings and assignments for Spring 2002. Virtual Tour Ethnographic Research Project Email Prof. Wood Social stratification lies at the core of society and of the discipline of sociology. Social inequality is a fundamental aspect of virtually all social processes, and a person's position in the stratification system is the most consistent predictor of his or her behavior, attitudes, and life chances. Social stratification links almost all aspects of society together, and therefore understanding what is happening to social stratification helps us understand a wide range of other changes in society. This course focuses on one type of stratification in particular: social class. It does so in the belief that in American society we have become conditioned to see other forms of inequality (race, gender, age) much more readily than class stratification, even when apparent differences between racial, gender or age groups may in fact be explained by their link to social class. Social class is by no means the only determinant of social life and life chances, but it is a goal of this course to "see" class and its significance where before it may have been invisible. Prerequisite: It is strongly recommended that students have taken, or be taking concurrently, Methods and Techniques of Social Research.

6. AN OVERVIEW OF THE SOCIAL STRATIFICATION OF EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES HOW EDUCATIONAL PERFORMANCE CORRELATES WITH DIMENSIONS OF STRATIFICATION. Rand s Council for Aid to Education s 1997 report, Breaking the Social Contract The http://www.trinity.edu/mkearl/strat-ed.html

EDUCATION AND SOCIAL INEQUALITY Education, then, beyond all other devices of human origin, is a great equalizer of conditions of menthe balance wheel of the social machinery. Horace Mann, 1848 Civilization is a race between education and catastrophe. H.G. Wells (1866-1946) In large states public education will always be mediocre, for the same reason that in large kitchens the cooking is usually bad. Nietzsche W HAT REALLY ARE THE FUNCTIONS OF EDUCATION? With cognitive labor rapidly supplanting physical labor, the theme of the times seems to be that if Americans are to successfully compete in the new economic world system then the quality and quantity of their education must be increased. Education is seen to be the great panacea by which inequality and poverty can be reduced, a national investment in human capital now that people costs comprise about two-thirds of the cost of any product (see causal models of education's role in status attainment ). In addition, education has been viewed as the mechanism by which immigrants are "Americanized"the very cauldron of the American "melting pot." Further, with the proliferation of McJobs in the service sector wherein work is "dumbed down," with the increasing numbers of over-educated and underemployed individuals in the labor force, and with

JAMES BARON Organizational Perspectives on Stratification Organizations impinge on career outcomes in two important ways: 1) The division of labor among jobs and organizations generates a distribution of opportunities and rewards that often antedates the hiring of people to fill those jobs. 2) Organization procedures for matching workers to jobs affect the distribution of rewards and opportunities within and across firms and thus influence the likelihood of career success Why Some Firms Pay and Promote More than Others - ''Older approaches'': human capital, status attainment -more recent approach: internal labor markets INTERNAL LABOR MARKET: Competing Interpretations 1) Labor economists emphasize technical determinants: technological progress increases workers' skill monopoly in the firm and that internal advancement opportunities are required so that senior workers will train junior personnel 2) Williamson emphasizes informational constraints that favor internal labor promotion hierarchies over perfectly competitive labor market. 3) Neo-Marxists regarded internal labor markets as an effort by capitalists to control a volatile work force.

SOCIAL STRATIFICATION When you meet someone new, if social etiquette was not a factor, what questions about that person would you like to have answered? QUESTIONS such as: What does your father or mother do? Where do you live? What organizations do you belong to? Where do you go on vacation? Suppose your answer to some of the questions were: My father is a ditch digger. Or My father is CEO of Texaco. I live in a slum area in Houston, Dallas, etc. Or I live in a very exclusive area. On the right side or the wrong side of the proverbial railroad track! We belong to the country club. We vacation all over the world or we have never been further than Houston. Why do you wish to know? We begin to categorize others, to classify them and then to interact with them on the basis of our classification system. When we think of castes and classes, and of social stratification, we have in mind groups who occupy different positions in the social order and enjoy different amounts of prestige. Not all differences of position come under the heading of stratification 1. No one regards all husbands, or all adolescents or
