I. Essential Ideas

 Social status is defined as the position held by individuals in society.

Each status implies respective social roles and access to resources.
 In a functionalist view of stratification, all factors involved within the social
structure are seen as functional aspects that maintain social balance and
equilibrium.
 A conflict perspective of stratification implies that society is in constant
conflict, especially with the distribution of resources, due to the existence
of inequality where higher-ranking people are given priority and
importance than lower ones.
