What Is It
Social and Political Stratification
Differentiation is the method of relating

people in terms of a particular social
characteristics and then classifying them into
social categories based on their characteristics;
it does not involve ranking. For example, we
may differentiate people according, to sex, age,
occupation, education, etc. We then place them
in a particular social category.
The layering of these categories into the

higher and lower position of prestige or respect
is called social stratification.
Image: https://bit.ly/2Mz7b0Q
Social stratification is a society’s

categorization of people into socioeconomic
strata/layer, based on their occupation and income, wealth and social status, or
derived power (social and political).
2
lOMoARcPSD|28633452
Three Social Classes
1. The upper class – consists of the elite or wealthy families who are the most
prolific (productive) in their respective areas. They value heritage most over
wealth.
2. The middle class – these are mostly professional people like lawyers, doctors,
managers, owners of small businesses, executives, etc. They value education
most since education to them is the most vital measure of social status.
3. The lower class – these are the office and clerical workers, skilled and
unskilled craftsman, farm employees, underemployed, indigent families, etc.
They depend on their paycheck.
Status is the individual’s spot in the social structure. The higher or lower
positions that come about through social stratification are called statuses. For
example, some people are prominent government officials while others are salesmen,
utility workers, etc. This does not relate to the individual themselves, but rather in the
position into which they have been placed.
Social Desirables
Any rational individual will always aspire for things that give wealth, power, and
prestige. The ability of an individual to realize such aspiration is forced by situations
where one is born into.
Ascribed statuses are assigned or given by the society or group based on

some fixed category. Examples are sex, family background, ethnicity, etc.
Achieved statuses are earned by the individual. Examples are honors

received in school, good job, an award for winning a competition, etc.
Prestige and Esteem
Prestige refers to the evaluation of status. You gain respect according to your
status. For example, being a senior student, you have the prestige of a senior student
at your school. It does not apply directly to you as a person, but rather to the social
category to which you belong (senior class).
Esteem refers to the assessment of our role behavior. The measure of esteem
we have depends on how well we carry out our role. If you perform well, get an
outstanding rating, you get and have a high regard.
Political Stratification
Political stratification is the extent to which inequalities are encapsulated in, or

influenced by political structures and, processes regarding influence, power and
authority.

lOMoARcPSD|28633452
Social Mobility System/Structure
Social mobility is the act of moving from one social status to another.
Open class system means that individuals can change their social class in
society. People are free to gain a different level of education or employment than their
parents. They can also socialize with members of another group, which allows people
to move from one class to another.
Caste and closed-class system, people can do little or nothing to change their
social standing. People are born into it and will remain in it. People are assigned
occupations regardless of their talents, interests, or potential.
Types of Social Mobility
Horizontal mobility is the movement of a person within a social class level.

For example, a factory worker who finds a new job as a construction worker.
Vertical mobility is the movement of a person between social class levels or

another class. For example, a factory worker who enrolls in college and becomes a
businessman.
