Question

State any two features of Social Stratification.

Answer 1

1. The most noticeable effects of social stratification are the division of society into social classes and the increase in inequality.
2. The most important aspect of social inequality is that it divides society into social classes. People may be split into two groups: nobles at the top and commoners and peasants at the bottom. This is evident in India, where castes are stratified, with Brahmins at the top and Shudras at the bottom.
3. Societal differences arise from social division. People at the top have full access to resources, while people at the bottom have very little.
