Answer 1

Explanation:

Society is stratified into social classes based on individuals’ socioeconomic status, gender, and race.

Stratification results in inequality when resources, opportunities, and privileges are distributed based on individuals’ positions in the social hierarchy.

Stratification and inequality can be analyzed as micro-, meso-, and macro-level phenomena, as they are produced in small group interactions, through organizations and institutions, and through global economic structures.

There are three dominant theories that consider why inequality exists on a global scale. First, some sociologists use a theory of development and modernization to argue that poor nations remain poor because they hold onto traditional attitudes and beliefs, technologies and institutions.
