9. These are people who are the skilled artisan, farm employees, underemployed, and indigent families. Because of the given status in life, these people lack revenue or income and educational training or background. Without proper education, some of them are jobless or have difficulty to find a job in order to make ends meet. they also lack support network that could lift them up. Lower Class

They are able to meet both their needs and wants without even worrying about their finances because of the job and salary they have. Middle Class

14. LOWER CLASS MIDDLE CLASS UPPER CLASS Characteristics of Stratification Systems Universal but variable. Stratification appears in every society, but how it divides and categorizes people, and what the advantages and disadvantages that come from that division - vary from society to society. Not a matter of individual differences. we can see the effects of social stratification on people regardless of their personal choices or traits.

15. LOWER CLASS MIDDLE CLASS UPPER CLASS Characteristics of Stratification Systems Persists across generations. Stratification categorizes and rank members of society across generations, resulting in different life chances. People sometimes move upward or downward in social class, which is the basic concept of social mobility. A social belief. A society's belief tell us how to categorize people, and they define inequalities of a stratification system as being normal, or even fair.

16. Close System of stratification In a closed system of stratification is little or no opportunity to advance from one social class to another. Social status is hereditary, based on a group characteristic Closed class system exists when a group of people are given different opportunities, depending on the characteristics they were born with, such as color, gender, or the economic situation of their parents. In a closed class system, you are stuck at your level. You can't marry people from other classes. Forms of Stratification Systems

17. Forms of Stratification Systems Open System of stratification Class System is one of the best examples of open system of stratification and is not based solely on ascribed status at birth alone. Instead, it combines ascribed status and personal achievement or achieved status in a way that allows some social mobility. Statuses are not the same. We get different statuses in different ways and chances.

18. Open System of stratification Some are ascribed statuses, which are assigned or given by the society or group based on some fixed category, without regard to a person's abilities or performance. Examples of ascribed status are sex, family background, race, and ethnic heritage or wealth. A person did nothing to earn these statuses, nor has control over these characteristics and had no opportunity or chance to choose family, sex, and race. On the other hand, achieved statuses are earned by the individual. The following scenarios serve as examples Forms of Stratification Systems

19. Social Stratification in Social Perspectives

20. Their role in the society could create job opportunities for other social classes below them. In fact, there are jobs not requiring a college degree. In this sense, those who are not able to finish their studies can still be hired. Those with college degree can be employed with a higher paid salary and good position in a company. Functionalism Every social class has its purpose or role to play a part in the society. We can't expect the owner of a certain business empire to do a construction works; but instead, he will hire someone to do it for himself. The upper class, although they are getting richer because they have the capacity to exploit natural and man-made resources simply because they have the money.

21. Conflict Theory This sociological perspective is the opposite of the latter. Karl Marx viewed social stratification as creation of inequality between the rich and the poor, or the powerful versus the powerless. Let's say for example: The bourgeois capitalists owning high-producing businesses or factories and hire people who work for them. They can enjoy the luxury of life because they earn billions of money. However, proletariats are the working class earned skimpy wages and experiencing isolation to the society. The very essence of life is to enjoy it with loved ones. However, working class did not experience this joy because they are isolated to do the labor for long hours each day to earn money at the end of the month. Marx argued that proletariats were oppressed by the money-hungry bourgeois.

22. Symbolic interactionism view social stratification on a micro level where individuals affect others whom they have interacted because of their social class status. In most societies, people can only interact only to those with the same social class status Symbolic Interactionism
