Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Social Stratification: Society's hierarchical ranking of individuals into social classes based on factors such as wealth, income, race, education, and power, resulting in unequal access to resources and opportunities.

  • Social Class: A group of people sharing similar economic, social, and cultural status, influenced by both birth (ascribed status) and personal achievements (achieved status).

  • Social Status: An individual's position within the social hierarchy, often determined by their social class, occupation, or prestige.

  • Meritocracy: A system where social positions are awarded based on personal abilities, talents, and achievements rather than ascribed characteristics like race or family background.

  • Social Mobility: The ability to move between social classes, which can be intragenerational (within a person's lifetime) or intergenerational (across generations).
