Module 9:
Concept, Characteristics and Forms of
Stratification Systems
www.shsph.blogspot.com

Target

Society is composed of different groups with different social structures, that


is some groups are higher or lower than other groups. All societies of any size, large
or small have a social structure. Though, as societies grow larger, more often
different groups are formed within them. Social stratification results when one
group has a functional importance in the community while others do not.

In the previous lesson, you have examined the functions and importance of
educations in the society. You have learned that education is an essential part of
any society because this is the primary way of enlightening an individual with each
aspect of life. It is therefore a must that the school system delivers to society
individuals whose abilities have been developed sufficiently so that they are able to
assume positive and productive societal roles. Moreover, for the preservation and
enhancement of knowledge and the development of character within our given form
of society which will best prepare the individual for the conditions of extreme
novelty the near future is bringing.

This lesson will provide you with information and various activities that will
help you understand the concept, characteristics and forms of stratification
systems using sociological perspective.

After going through this lesson, you are expected to examine the concept,
characteristics and forms of stratification systems using sociological perspective.

Specific Learning Objectives:


1. explain the meaning and nature of social stratification
2. distinguish social stratification and social differentiation
3. identify the indicators of social stratification
4. differentiate the characteristics of the systems of social stratification
5. analyze the claims and explanations of the structural-functionalists,
conflict theorists, and symbolic-interactionists on social stratification

Before going on, answer the activities below to check on what you
know about the topic. Have fun and good luck!

1. Social stratification the process where a society determines a person'sworth


based on their income and wealth, as well as other characteristics like
gender,class and age, and distributes social rewards accordingly.
2. Social stratification is only found in industrialized socieities.

Inequality is found in all societies irrespective of time or place. All human


societies from the simple to the most complex have some form of social inequality.
In particular, power and prestige are unequally distributed between individuals and
groups. Societies may differ in the degree of inequalities and nature of stratification.

In all societies people differ from each other on the basis of their age, sex
and personal characteristics. Human society is not homogeneous but
heterogeneous. Apart from the natural differences, human beings are also
differentiated according to socially approved criteria. Society is divided based on
economic, social, religious and other aspects. Heterogeneity in society is called
social stratification.

Social stratification is an inherent character of all societies. It is historical


as we find it in all societies, ancient and modern; and it is universal as it exists in
simple or complex societies. The social differentiation on the basis of high and low
is the historical heritage of all societies.

Meaning and Nature of Social Stratification

Sociologists use the term social stratification to describe the system of social
standing. There are various meanings of social stratification and is defined as
follows:
• It refers to what sociologists call it as “ institutionalized inequality” of
individual or “social injustice” due to social categories (Ariola, 2012).
• It is an institutionalized pattern of inequality in which social categories
are ranked on the basis of their access to scarce resources Brinkerhoff
& White, 1988).
• It is the way people are ranked and ordered in society (Cole, 2019).
• It is a system whereby people rank and evaluate each other as superior
or inferior and, on the basis of such evaluation, unequally reward one
another with wealth, authority, power, and prestige. One result of each
differentiation is the creation of a number of levels within the society.
(Hebding & Glick, 1992)
• It is the hierarchical arrangement and establishment of social
categories that evolve into a social group together with statuses and
their corresponding roles. (Panopio el al., 1994)
• It is the differentiation of a given population into hierarchically
superposed classes. It is manifested in the existence of upper and lower
social layers. Its basis and very essence consist in an unequal
distribution of rights and privileges, duties and responsibilities, social
values and privations, social power and influences among the members
of a society (Sorokin, 1927).

Social Stratification is Distinguished from Social Differentiation

Social differentiation refers to how people can be distinguished from one


another. People in a group may differ in skin color, hair color, race, mental and
physical ability, and the like.

Social stratification refers to the ranking of people in a society. In closed


stratification, people cannot change their ranks while those in open social
stratification, people can change their ranks. In short social stratification is the
separation of people into social categories and these categories are ranked as higer
or lower.

Indicators of Social Stratification

There are some people that are treated in another way because of the social
status, power, income, prestige and among others that they hold in their society
(Arcinas, 2016).

The individual’s position in the social structure is called status. The higher
or lower positions that come about through social stratifications are called
statuses. Statuses are not the same. One may get different statuses in different
ways. They can be ascribed or achived. Ascribed statuses are assigned or given by
the society or group on the basis of some fixed category, without regard to a
person’s abilities or performance. These include sex, family background, race, and
ethnic heritage. You did nothing to earn these statuses; you have no control over
these characteristics and no opportunity or chance to choose your family, your sex,
and your race. In the Philippines, the children of Ayala’s and the Zobel’s have
ascrived statuses (Zulueta, 2006). Whereas, achieved statuses are earned by the
individual because of his or her talent, skills, occupation and persevernace. These
include, degree or educational attainment, promotion, position, earned wealth and
the like. For example, Nora Aunor has moved up in the social ladder because of her
beautiful voice and singing talent. Prestige refers to the evaluation of status. You
have prestige according to your status. For example, being the president of the
Supreme Student Government of your school, you have the prestige of a president
whether or not you perform and carry out well the duties and responsibilities of
SSG president (Baleña et.al., 2016).

According to Max Weber, most societies would favor those with power,
prestige, status, wealth or class. According to Weber’s Component Theory on Social
Stratification, these three would determine a person’s standindig in his/her
community:

1. Power refers to the ability to influence other people. It is getting what


they want despite the unwillingness of others to give in to their desires.
2. Prestige refers to the person’s position in the society. This refers to
having a certain status that enables someone to have resources or
opportunities.
3. Wealth refers to the amount of resources that a person has (Arcinas,
2016).

As mentioned by Ariola (2012) in his book, one may be viewed as belonging


to the upper social strata or lower social strata depending on the following
dimensions:

1. Sources of Income. There are different sources of income. These are


the inhereted wealth, earned wealth, profits, professional fees, salaries,

4
www.shsph.blogspot.com
wages, private relief, among others. Wealth is everything that is owned
by a person. Inherited wealth is acquired since birth and without effort.
Acquired wealth is achieved through ones effort either by talent, income
or by marriage. Income refers to the amount of money a person
receives.

2. Occupation. What people do for a living determines, to a large extent,


the social position of the person. Occupation may be classified into
professionals, non-professionals (clerks, drivers, etc) proprietors of
small business, skilled workers, semi skilled workers, and unskilled
workers.

Examination of the mentioned occupations indicates disparities in


prestige, income and power.

3. Education. Educational attainment of a person may be categorized as


masteral or doctoral degree holder, college graduate, high school
graduate, elemetary school drop-out, among others. Possession of the
person of any of these educational backgrounds may characterize the
person’s status in the community.

4. Types of house dwellings. Dwellings can be categorized as permanent


house (concrete and excellent in appearance), semi-permanent house
(semi-concrete and very good in appearance and construction),
temporary house (wood and fair in appearance and construction), and
poorly constructed house (houses found in squatter areas, or those
considered below-the-bridge houses).

5. Location of residence. Power, prestige and wealth are also attached to


the location of residence. There is disparity of social status when one
residence is located in Forbes Park, White Plains, squatter area,
mountainous-rugged area, in subdivision and non-subdivision area.

6. Kinship or family. In the Philippines, when a person belongs to the


Ayala’s, Soriano’s, Zobel’s, Villar’s, that person is regarded as belonging
to the upper class (rich) status. Children of sultans and datus are
hgihly regarded as rich. If a person is from a family whose house is
situated in the squatter’s area, that person is regarded as poor or
belonging to lower class status.

Types of Social Stratification and their Characteristics

Generally, there are three (3) known types of social stratification: open
systems, closed systems and ethnic systems ( Ariola, 2012).

5
www.shsph.blogspot.com
Sociologists distinguish between two types of systems of stratification –
open system and closed system. For the anthropologists, they include ethnic system
as another type of social stratification.

includes the Brahmans who are associated with the
priesthood, the Kahatryias (the warriors), the
Vaishyus (the businessmen and traders), and the
Shudrus (the servants).

2. Estate System – It is somewhat a closed system in


which the person’s social standing is based on
ownership of land, birth, or military strength.
Individuals who were born into one of the estates
remained there throughout life but in extreme cases
there is social mobility, that is people could change
their status. In the middle ages there are three (3)
major estates in Europe – nobility, clergy, and the
peasants.
C. Ethnic System
General Characteristics
This type of social stratification is based on national origin, laguage and
religion. Ethinicity sets segments of society apart and each group has a sense of
identity. People interact more freely with those people belonging to the same
ethnic category. During the Spanish and American colonial systems in the
Philippines, the colonizers perceived themselves to be occupying the upper social
class than the Filipinos or the natives whom they called as Indios.
Immigrants usually belong to a lower status than the inhabitants. The
Gaddangs, Itawis, Ituweraw, Ilonngots, and other ethnic minority groups are
considered inferior than the others.

Social Stratification and Social Mobility

Social mobility refers to the movement within the social structure, from one
social position to another. It means a change in social status. All societies provide
some opportunity for social mobility. But the societies differ from each other to
extent in which individuals can move from one class or status level to another.
Thus, people in society continue to move up down the status scale. This movement
is called ‘social mobility’. For example, the poor people may become rich, the bank
peon may become bank officers, farmers may become ministers, a petty
businessman may become a big industrialist and so on. At the same time a big
businessman may become a bankrupt and ruling class may be turned out of office
and so on.

Kinds of Social Mobility

In a democratic state like the Philippines, a person can improve his social
status but the degree of mobility varies. In an open system, every individual is
provided equal opportunities to compete for the role and status derived regardless
of gender, race, religion, family background and political inclination. There are
three (3) types of social mobility: social mobility, geographical mobility, and role
mobility.

1. Social Mobility refers to the movement upward or downward among the


social positions in any given social stratification. It may be upward
(vertival) mobility and downward (horizontal) mobility. Vertical mobility
refers to the movement of people of groups from one status to another. It
involves change in class, occupation or power. For example, the
movement of people from the poor class to the middle class. Horizontal
mobility is a change in position without the change in status. It indicates
a change in position, within the rage of the status. A change in status
may come about through one’s occupation, marrying into a certain
family and others. For example, an engineer working in a factory may
resign from his job and join another factory.

2. Geographical Mobility is otherwise known as physical mobility. It may


be a vluntary movement of people from one geographical area to another
due to change in residence, communiting fro home to office, making
business trips, and voluntary migration from one country to another. It
may be also a forced migration which include forced relocation or
residence, eviction, dispossession of unwanted people, and
transportation of slaves.

3. Role Mobility is the individual’s shifting from role to role. Every member
of a society has roles to play. Different situations call for enactment of
various roles. For example, the father is the bread earner of the family
but may be a teacher in school, or the leader at home or a follower in the
school or office. A daughter may be submissive at home but very active

8
www.shsph.blogspot.com
and active as a campus student leader. A teacher may have varied roles
such as being a mother, a wife, a guidance counselor, a community
leader and many more (Ariola, 2012).

Theoritical Perspective and Analysis of Social Stratification


Social stratification can be examined from different sociological perspectives
—structural-functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolicinteractionism.

daily interaction, and conceptions of themselves.

In sociology, the functionalist perspective examines how society’s parts


operate. It is a macroanalytical view that focuses on the way that all aspects of
society are integral to the continued health and viability of the whole.
StructuralFunctionalism recognizes that all societies maintain some form of social
stratification, and therefore, social stratification must have important functional
consequences. According to Davis & Moore (1945), different aspects of society exist
because they serve a needed purpose. They argued that the greater the functional
importance of a social role, the greater must be the reward. The theory posits that
social stratification represents the inherently unequal value of different work.
Certain tasks in society are more valuable than others. Qualified people who fill
those positions must be rewarded more than others.

Conflict theory focuses on the creation and reproduction of inequality.


Conflict theorists are deeply critical of social stratification, asserting that it benefits
only some people, not all of society. Conflict theory’s explanation of stratification
draws on Karl Marx’s view of class societies and incorporates the critique of the
functionalist view mentioned above. Many different explanations grounded in
conflict theory exist, but they all assume that stratification stems from a
fundamental conflict between the needs and interests of the powerful, or “haves,” in
society and those of the weak, or “have-nots” (Kerbo, 2009). The former take
advantage of their position at the top of society to stay at the top, even if it means

9
www.shsph.blogspot.com
oppressing those at the bottom. At a minimum, they can heavily influence the law,
the media, and other institutions in a way that maintains society’s class structure.

Symbolic-interactionism is a theory that uses everyday interactions of


individuals to explain society as a whole. Symbolic interactionism examines
stratification from a micro-level perspective. This analysis strives to explain how
people’s social standing affects their everyday interactions. Consistent with its
micro orientation, symbolic interactionism tries to understand stratification by
looking at people’s interaction and understandings in their daily lives. Unlike the
functionalist and conflict views, it does not try to explain why we have stratification
in the first place. Rather, it examines the differences that stratification makes for
people’s lifestyles and their interaction with other people. In most communities,
people interact primarily with others who share the same social standing. It is
precisely because of social stratification that people tend to live, work, and
associate with others like themselves, people who share their same income level,
educational background, or racial background, and even tastes in food, music, and
clothing. The built-in system of social stratification groups people together. This is
one of the reasons why it was rare for a royal prince like England’s Prince William
to marry a commoner. Symbolic interactionists also note that people’s appearance
reflects their perceived social standing. Housing, clothing, and transportation
indicate social status, as do hairstyles, taste in accessories, and personal style.
