SOCIAL CLASS The grouping of people together and according them status within society according to the groups they belong to, is as old as society itself. Racial grouping is one way that societies have done this e.g. the American South before the US civil war. Religion is another - parts of Northern Ireland until the 1960s. One common way is through the "caste" system to be found in India. Here, social differentiation is stressed by the "caste" that each individual is born into e.g. the "Brahmin" caste is the top caste and the "untouchables" are the bottom caste. Caste membership in this life is the result of "good" or "bad" conduct in the previous life. In Medieval Britain, the "Feudal System" of land ownership meant that the "nobility" of land owners, with its sense of family tradition, privilege and knightly conduct became the dominant ruling group. Clearly, in most modern industrial societies, including Britain, our system of social stratification is much more fluid - that is, we experience a good deal of

Social Stratification and Social Mobility Sorokin holds a unique place in the study of social stratification and mo- bility. We owe to him the creation or definition of many of the terms that have become standard in this field. We also owe him a distinct vision of what the study of social mobility should be mainly concerned with, namely, the courses and consequences of demographic exchanges between groups, as distinct from the study of individuals who may move up or down or sideways in the social hierarchy. Sorokin defined social mobility in its broadest sense as the shifting of people in social space. He was not, however, interested in movements of indi- viduals but in social metabolism, in the consequences of such movements for social groups differently located in the social structure. Social stratification, to Sorokin, means "the differentiation of a given popu- lation into hierarchically superposed classes." Such stratification, he held, is a permanent characteristic of any organized social group. Stratification may be based on economic criteriafor example, when one focuses attention upon the differentials between the wealthy and the poor. But societies or groups are also

Japanese Tanaka's works Tanaka's Home SSM Survey SSM (Social Stratification and Social Mobility) project has surveyed Japanese people's social status, social movements, and consciousness on class and inequality, with national representative random samples. In 1955 the first survey was conducted by the Japan Sociological Society . After that basically similar surveys are repeated at intervals of ten years by temporary organizations of volunteer sociologists. The 5th survey was conducted in 1995 by the 1995 SSM Research Group, supported by Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research by Ministry of Education, Science, Sports and Culture. After the publication of the final report of the survey in 1998, the 1995 SSM Research Group dissolved itself. (Note that the SSM Survey Project does not enjoy organizational or financial support on a solid basis.) Now the data collected through the SSM Surveys are under the administration of 1995 SSM Kenkyuukai, a small committee represented by Seiyama Kazuo (University of Tokyo). Some sociologists have started to prepare for the 2005 SSM Survey. SRDQ System offers information on 1955-1995 SSM Survey data.

Request an Exam Copy Comment on this product Purchasing information Email this page to a colleague Description Stratification structure refers to the hierarchy of social classes in society. This book describes the class structure in the United States, focusing on the way people's class location influences their opportunities. To do this, Beeghley emphasizes three themes. The first theme is that power influences the distribution of resources in the United States. The second theme is that the social structure influences rates of events, mainly because it determines people's range of choices. The third theme is that social psychological factors influence how individuals act on, and react to, the situations in which they find themselves. One purpose of this book is to help students understand social inequality from a new angle of vision. This orientation implies that social facts are not always what they seem to be, an insight that is fundamental to sociology.

Contact Us Black Occupations and Social Stratification in Nineteenth Century Boston Composed of New England Africans, free Blacks from the south, and even immigrants from the West Indies and Nova Scotia, people of African descent played an integral part in the nineteenth century Boston workforce. From these workers - unskilled, low-skilled, and professional - there arose a strong Black community committed to the struggle for freedom, dignity, and liberty of Black people throughout the country. Yet even with the majority of Black people working at the lowest job levels, important distinctions were made that led to the development of social stratification within this under-skilled and underpaid workforce. For instance, while in the White community the job of porter and laborer were both categorized as lower-class work, in the Black community this was not the case. While approximately 60% of the Black unskilled or semi-skilled workforce were laborers on the docks of Boston Harbor - seamen, stevedores, dock-workers, etc. this work was often sporadic because of the seasonal nature of the maritime industry. continued...

Faculty within this area are actively engaged in research and teaching on structural aspects of social inequality related to race, ethnicity, sexuality, class, and gender in U.S. institutions. Department members are contributing to knowledge of how schools, families, the labor market, and formal organizations produce and maintain social inequality. At the same time, the research of scholars in this area shapes policies meant to alter long-standing systems of social stratification in the United States . WSU graduate student training in social stratification reflects this wide range of faculty interest and students are encouraged to take specialized seminars on gender, education, and labor markets.

Social Stratification in Bangladesh has its roots in the past. Although the dynamics of religion largely shaped the context of its development, the relevance of economic and political factors is no less significant. The Hindu society in Bengal was built along the caste lines although the widely known four-fold classification brahman ksatriya vaisya and sudra did not emerge in the classical manner. The two middle castes, Ksatriya and Vaisya, were not visible in the way they were in other parts of India. In Bengal the main caste division was between the Brahmans and the non-Brahmans. The latter category was the admixture of different sub-castes that emerged through unregulated interactions of different castes. The Brahmans occupied the highest position of the social ladder. As there were geographical divisions among the Brahmans ( radha and Barendra Brahman), there was another category called Kaibarta Brahman. Some proverb says that the local Brahmans were not skilled in vedas and that vacuum was filled in by the Brahmans who migrated from northern India and became known as Kaibarta Brahman The non-Brahman sub-castes were broadly divided into three hierarchical categories: superior admixture, medium admixture and inferior admixture. The first category included twenty sub-castes, including

4.7 Social stratification 4.7.1 Types of societies One important way in which anthropologists classify different societies is according to the degree to which different groups within a society have unequal access to advantages such as resources, prestige or power (Ember and Ember, 1990; Murphy, 1989; Nanda, 1991). For example, Howard (1989) writes: Virtually all societies have developed some degree of inequality among their people through the process of social stratification-the division of members of a society into strata (or levels) with unequal wealth, prestige or power. (p. 279) The stratification of different groups within a society gives rise to three different types of societies being generally recognised: egalitarian societies, ranked societies and class-based societies. The major differentiating characteristics of these societies are summarised in the table below: Table 4.1. Stratification in three types of societies. (From Ember and Ember 1990, p. 139.) Those societies with the least stratification are known as egalitarian. Howard describes egalitarian societies like so: People tend to treat each other as equals ... Wealth differences are few as is the amount of power available to any individual or group. The people possess norms that emphasise sharing and ideals of interpersonal equality. This is not to say that stratification is non-existent in these societies ... In comparison with nonegalitarian societies, however, stratification is relatively insignificant. (p. 281)

37. SOCIAL STRATIFICATION social stratification. Some definitions (Social) stratification ranking some individuals and groups as more deserving than others http://husky1.stmarys.ca/~evanderveen/wvdv/Class_relations/social_stratification

SOCIAL STRATIFICATION Some definitions: (Social) stratification : ranking some individuals and groups as more deserving than others; from this a social hierarchy is formed which is a set of ranked statuses from highest to lowest. (The word social is in parentheses because in sociology it is often presumed you are referring to the social, i.e. groups of people interacting together rather than one individual by themselves.) or (Social) stratification : a form of inequality in which categories of people are systematically ranked in a hierarchy on the basis of their access to scarce but valued resources. This is different from social inequality which is a condition in which people have unequal access to wealth, power and prestige; and social differentiation which is a process in which people are set apart for differential treatment by virtue of their statuses, roles, and other social characteristics. You can substitute the word social with more specific characteristic such as age, race/ethnicity, gender, etc... Return to MAIN PAGE Return to CLASS RELATIONS
