Question

Is Social Stratification universal? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

Social stratification refers to a system by which a society ranks categories of people in a hierarchy. ... Social stratification is universal (it happens everywhere) but variable (it takes different forms across different societies).

Answer 2

Answer:

• Social Stratification is a universal phenomenon in all societies.
• It can exist either in form of a hierarchy of groups or individuals or it may exist without the creation of hierarchy.
• Even in simple societies, an individual may carry more respect or may be richer than others.
• Stratification is not universally found to the same extent and in the same sense.
• What is found, is some form of inequality.
