Social Stratification
July 7th, 2020
Define social stratification and discuss which theorists’ (Davis and Moore, Tumin, Mosca, Marx, Lensi, Weber) contributions to social stratification theory resonate most with you and why. To demonstrate your understanding of these theories, provide two original examples of social stratification and explain each using one of the theorists from this week’s readings.
Additionally, discuss each of the following:
* Discuss the consequences of social class on physical and mental health, family, education, and politics.
* Distinguish between sex and gender and define gender stratification.
* Describe gender inequality in everyday life, health care, education, and the workplace.
