MEANING OF STRATIFICATION
Social stratification is the classification of people into
socioeconomic class, based upon their occupation and
income, wealth and social status. Stratification is the
relative social position of people within a social group,
category, geographic region, or social unit. Social
stratification is distinguished as three social classes: the
upper class, the middle class, and the lower class; in
turn, each class can be subdivided into strata: the
upper-stratum, the middle-stratum, and the lower
stratum. Social stratum can be formed upon the bases
of kinship or caste, or both.
Social desirables are resources considered valuable by societies.
These resources may be tangible or intangible. Sociologist may
focus on any of these resources as the basis of their theoretical
perspective on social inequality. In short, the recognition of the
existence of these social desirables is what brings together the
sociological camps.
Generally, prestige, power, and wealth are three important social
desirables. It describes the social standing of individuals relative
to others. Social standing reflects persons’ worth and access to
social, political, and symbolic capital. Sociologists have different
vies as to what constitute social class. Karl Marx looked at it in
terms of wealth produced in relation to the ownership of the means
of production. Wealth may refer to money, properties, and similar
tangible resources.
MAX WEBER, ON THE OTHER HAND, DIFFERENTIATES THEM INTO THREE: WEALTH,
POWER, AND PRESTIGE. INDIVIDUAL’S SOCIAL STANDING CAN BE MEASURED, ALL AT
ONCE, BASED ON THEIR RELATIVE ACCESS TO THESE THREE.
Social mobility refers to
changes of individuals, families,
households, or other categories

change in social status relative
to one's current social location
within a given society.

position in society to a lower one. It happen when
