    The document discusses global stratification and three theories that explain global inequality: [1] Modernization theory argues that economic development stems from technological change as traditional societies become complex; [2] Dependency theory claims that the poverty of poorer nations results from exploitation by powerful countries; [3] World systems theory views the global economy as a single unit with no nation in isolation. The document also outlines consequences of global stratification such as differences in population growth and education between rich and poor nations.
