Question

What does the term 'social stratification' refer to?

• A. The process of cultural diffusion
• B. The division of society into different social classes
• C. The integration of diverse cultural groups
• D. The equal distribution of resources

Hint:

Social stratification deals with how society divides people based on their social class, wealth, and power.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Social stratification refers to the hierarchical arrangement of individuals or groups in a society based on factors such as wealth, income, race, education, and power. It is the division of society into different social classes, where individuals in higher classes have access to more resources and privileges.
Cultural diffusion, integration of diverse cultural groups, and equal distribution of resources are not correct because these are related to other aspects of social organization, not the hierarchical divisions that define social stratification.
