1. How global stratification affects the living status of a nation?

People in countries around the world experience different access to resources and
opportunities and different standards of living, based on their position in the global
hierarchy. In terms of global stratification, industrialized countries are at the top of the
global hierarchy. Consequently, people living in developed countries have greater access
to such resources as food, education, roads, and electricity than their counterparts in
less developed nations.

2. Despite the increasing number of professionals, why do Filipinos still claim that they
are suffering poverty/hunger?
Even though Philippines has an improved economy today, majority of the people living
there is still struggling in poverty. People living in the philippines are not enjoying the
equal distribution of wealth, once they become poor, they will become so very poor and
once they become rich, they will become so very rich.

What is poverty? Economically poverty happened when people does not meet all of
their basic needs, they don't meet the basic requirements to live better.

It is the state that a nation has a little or no money at all or few or no material
possessions. Those nation encountered struggles in life and probably cannot eat every
day or every meal, can't afford to buy clothes as protection to their body. They
have no shelter to live. Poverty is visible on how do the people live and how much the
money they have. Not all people in every nation do not understand the true meaning of
poverty, some people are not aware of the condition.

3. Why social classes result to variations in socioeconomic status? How it affects the
person as well as the nation and the relationship to other nations?
Because members of high social classes tend to be better educated and have higher
incomes, they are more able to provide educational advantages to their children as well.
Educational inequality is one factor that perpetuates the class divide across
generations.A person’s social class has a significant impact on their physical health, their
ability to receive adequate medical care and nutrition, and their life expectancy.
