 defining social stratification. In this session we are going to define the concept of social stratification. Social stratification refers to a system by which a society ranks categories of people in a hierarchy. In the United States it is perfectly clear that some groups have greater status, power and wealth than other groups. These differences are what led to social stratification. An America-like society, which is called a developed democracy, where social stratification exists and its foundation is power and wealth. Then social stratification is based on four major principles. Social stratification is a trait of society, not simply a reflection of individual differences. Stratification is not only related to a person or a person, but it is present in the society. Stratification is not only related to individuals, but it is also related to society. So stratification is universal. It happens everywhere, but variables, they can be different across from society to society. It is a universal concept that happens everywhere. It can be that in some society there are more or less symbols or factors. So social stratification involves not just inequality, but belief as well as inequality is rooted in a society's philosophy. Any social stratification concept is not necessary that it is only based on this foundation that there is a huge problem. In fact, it has been created as if a philosophy has been created in any society. Because social stratification means the differentiation of a given population into hierarchy, supposedly classes, it is manifested in the existence of upper and lower social layer. Its basis and very essence consist in unequal distribution of rights and privileges, duties and responsibilities. Social values are unequal distribution of resources, unequal distribution and availability of rights and duties. The important thing is that the more powerful people who have more resources will have a higher level of wealth in the society. This is the basic philosophy that works on the back of social stratification. Because this process by which individuals and groups are ranked in a more or less enduring hierarchy of status is known as social stratification. There are upper class, lower class, all these class systems that develop in one day and there is a factor behind it. Of course, basically, those individuals, those families who are influential, those institutions where the human beings have been raised from the beginning, or on the basis of their profession, such as the traditions of the subcontinent. From the beginning, the profession that people have adopted from centuries, on the basis of the profession that people have adopted, they have been recognized as their own. So if that profession, that work was not considered so much, then the level of those people was kept at the bottom. Especially, those institutions, especially in the subcontinent, like the village, the tradition of the village that the subcontinent or subcontinent was given to them in the same way. And the level of responsibility of the subcontinent was different from the level of the subcontinent because the land was in the control of the subcontinent. And the people working on the land was different from the level of the owner. But in the west, there were complications of the people. But everywhere in the world, in some way or the other, this level of responsibility is present from the centuries. And even today, it is considered as relevant as it was before.
