Topic: Class stratification

	Spartanburg SC \| GoUpstate.com \| Spartanburg Herald-Journal
		Class stratification is the tendency of classes to divide into separate classes.
		People are usually born into their class, though through social mobility allows for some individuals to be promoted to a higher class level or demoted to a lower class level.
		Usually, class stratification begins with people who are on the same economic and cultural level, with only a few people much more wealthy or less wealthy than others.

		He argued that working class teens will reject hegemonic values because it's the only way to continue to be a part of the community that they live in.

	SOCIAL CLASS AND THE CLASS-LITERATURE
		First, class membership is not biologically determined, but is a form of social stratification based on laws, esteem, wealth, or power.
		Sixth, a class is always defined within a system of relations constituting an opposing class or classes, analogous to hot being defined relative to cold, up relative to down, virtue relative to vice, and so on.
		Class interests are active; members have some consciousness of a class identity; and leaders use class slogans and interests in a struggle for power at the state level, thus forming the conflict front dividing field and antifield.

	Achievement Gaps: A Scholar Argues that Racial Stratification Is Still Important for Understanding Inequality in America
		Racial stratification, not class stratification, is the underlying cause for continuing racial inequality in the U.S., says one scholar.
		Class is defined in terms of a group's "relation to the means of production"—essentially, whether they own and control capital or do not own or control capital (more or less, owners versus workers).
		Social class is a "segment of society's population differentiated by education, occupation, and income" (Conventional Perspectives section, ¶ 5).So, people with higher levels of education, higher incomes, and higher prestige jobs are in a different class or category from people with less education, lower incomes, and lower prestige jobs (or no jobs at all).

	SOCIAL CLASS, Russ Long's Lecture Notes
		Social class affects one's life chances across a broad spectrum of social phenomenon from health care, to educational attainment, to participation in the political process, to contact with the criminal justice system.
		The existence of the middle class is problematic for Marx.
		Teachers have middle class backgrounds and, therefore, work better with students "like themselves." The importance of education receives greater emphasis in upper classes, therefore, children of the upper classes are more likely to attend college.

	Class and Stratification
		Class distinctions are tied to a world of tradition and subordination that no longer exists, and the language of class is incompatible with contemporary attitudes and values.
		Class, as defined by Marx and Weber, remains the crucial determinant of life chances, and it shapes the opportunities that people have for pursuing particular life styles, but it is less visible to people, who tend to define their positions in status terms.
		The class cohesion of the middle classes was always rather low: they formed a clearly-bounded social class in relation to the working class, but they were internally divided by the relative difficulty of moving from propertied to employed and self-employed positions.

	Education and Class Stratification
		Class stratification is already a very real problem in today's American society, and this would only worsen were schools to be privatized.
		Class divisions would become even more distinct as those with money would be the only ones who could provide their children with the costly education that would lead to further high-paying jobs.
		Showman's tale about the alleged "class stratification" of market education is a hobgoblin fed by the sycophants of socialist dogma and the beneficiaries of today's state-enforced regime.

	Social Class
		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 mobility" - people, through generations or perhaps in their own life time, moving up or down the social scale.
		There is no generally agreed definition of social class, but most people agree that social differentiation exists.

		Weber agrees that there are classes in capitalism, but sees them as arising whenever any one group tries to gain an advantage in a (labour) market.
		That summarises the usual initial debate, and Weber usually emerges as the better theorist, because he can explain more of the complexities of modern stratification, while Marx is seen as too keen to reduce everything down to one fundamental model based on his own (questionable) analysis of capitalism as exploitation.
		He also talked of more fundamental trends in stratification, with systems varying from predominantly class-based to predominantly status-based, depending on the state of the economy (roughly, affluence leads to more of a concern with status).

	Social stratification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In sociology, social stratification is the hierarchical arrangement of social classes, castes, and strata within a society.
		Proponents of structural-functional analysis suggest that since social stratification exists in most state societies, a hierarchy must therefore be beneficial in helping to stabilize their existence.
		They conclude, often working from the theories of Karl Marx, that stratification means that working class people are not likely to advance socioeconomically, while the wealthy may continue to exploit the proletariat generation after generation.

	ZNet Commentary
		What is "new" is the degree of income stratification and class polarization we are now experiencing, which is really unlike anything since the Robber Barons of the nineteenth century's Gilded Era.
		Both political parties, in varying degrees, pursue policies that directly contribute to class stratification and the vast concentrations of wealth among the upper two or three percent of all U.S. households.
		In short, class matters, and the battle for economic fairness will in many respects be the most fundamental factor in the future of African-American politics.

		This course is designed to expose students to the major sociological perspectives concerning social stratification, social class, and structural inequality.
		Another component of these journals will be the inclusion of one current news article—from the week preceding each class—which relates to some aspect of social inequality, class or stratification.
		The second exercise, due during week 8, will be a reflection on your own (and your family’s) life and position in our stratified society in relation to some of the issues we have discussed such as occupation, prestige, mobility, status, income, lifestyle and attitudes.

		Nevertheless, as the rural sector in China accounts for about 80% of the total population, the importance of rural social stratification is self-evident.
		I will focus on the organization of labour, or, the relations between labourers and means of production, and, as derived from the above, relations between direct labourers and non-labourers (if there are any).

		The questions raised by a study of class and inequality are important, but often complex.
		He analyses why class inequalities exist, whether they are inevitable, whether they are unjust, and how they are changing.
		It also explores how the class structure is being affected by developments such as the spread of privatization and individual shareholdings, the rise of the 'yuppies', and the emergence of an underclass.

		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 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.
