Social stratification involves not just inequality but beliefs as well. This can be seen by the fact that inequality is accepted in the society. Class and Caste
The term middle class is somewhat of a definite norm in our society. Title and Paternoster have come up with a Typology that sets stage for considering how to define the term deviance and the standards for acceptable behavior. The question raised is perhaps if deviance is grounded in issues that have close relations with factors such as race, gender, income, religion, amongst other contributing factors. They seem to have many relations with these kinds of factors. I think deviance is rooted in some way of the issues that are related to these factors.
8.3 Major key determinant of inequality existed all around the world Sustainable development and empowerment of women can be ensured through education and patriarchal psychology, which is the barrier in the way of enhancing their economic, social and political status. Some factors such as traditional caste based attitude, gender insensitivity, illiteracy, lack of training of the marginalized women at the grassroots and the prevailing patriarchal tendency and gender segregation etc. have contributed towards the course of marginalization of women who belong to the deprived sections of the society. There are various most important key determinants of inequality existed in the society between man and woman, thereby women are still lacking and far behind from man in each field especially in the political arena.

As a result of these “social resources”, hierarchical structuring of the society is maintained. In Wole Soyinka’s The Beatification of Area Boy and Alapata Apata, this social stratification that accounts for the hierarchical structuring of the society as indicated by Weber is present. Soyinka’s medium of characterisation using name types such as Trader, Judge, Shopkeeper, Police, Woman, Military Governor, Big man shopper, Maid, General and so on in both plays immediately suggest the class, status and power each character possesses and stating the obvious hierarchical division in the
The means of defining yourself as a person come to us from different experiences and different attitudes on life that we’ve got. Our actions towards others and towards different situations help us define the world we live in. By creating certain groups and/or organizations that we belong to based on our beliefs we divide the world and the people among themselves into meaningful subgroups within larger organizations. At the same time, the world has a great impact on our decision making, and action taking, and most of all on our thought process that is directed at everything we encounter on the daily basis throughout our lives. Such correlation between the self and the world in sociology is defined and the “sociological approach to self and
Each gender has specific roles that help to create a balanced society. Through this theory, we can see how each different gender relies on the other to fill the roles they are meant to provide. By leaning on one another, we create a society where everyone has

The extent of the situation is such that men determine who owns what and who uses what in the society. The product of this gender differentiation is the creation of a gender gap which results is women’s subjugation and deprivation with its concomitant toll on children in many diverse regards. This gap is identified in all aspects of life and reechoed in the family, religion, and in the social, political, cultural and economic attainments of men and
In every existing society today, the essence of social inequalities is prevalent. These inequalities range from class, gender, income, wealth to race. Together they are created by social construction, where a society creates and develops perceptions of an individual or a group. In the midst of these social inequalities, the one that had an immense impact on me personally is racial inequality which underlines how our society defines race and how traits are treated and translated into categories (Replogle 2018). In other words, people are categorized based on common biological characteristics, like skin, hair and eye color.
It also gives us an idea of how people react, why they react this way and conflicts between people. Sociology makes us aware of cultural differences and this allows us to gain many more perspectives on the social world around us. If we can understand how other people around us in the world live, we can better understand them and any problems had by them.
