SOCIAL STRATIFICATION Robert E. Wood Department of Sociology, Anthropology and Criminal Justice Spring Semester 2000 Note: This syllabus will be extensively revised with new readings and assignments for Spring 2002. Virtual Tour Ethnographic Research Project Email Prof. Wood Social stratification lies at the core of society and of the discipline of sociology. Social inequality is a fundamental aspect of virtually all social processes, and a person's position in the stratification system is the most consistent predictor of his or her behavior, attitudes, and life chances. Social stratification links almost all aspects of society together, and therefore understanding what is happening to social stratification helps us understand a wide range of other changes in society. This course focuses on one type of stratification in particular: social class. It does so in the belief that in American society we have become conditioned to see other forms of inequality (race, gender, age) much more readily than class stratification, even when apparent differences between racial, gender or age groups may in fact be explained by their link to social class. Social class is by no means the only determinant of social life and life chances, but it is a goal of this course to "see" class and its significance where before it may have been invisible. Prerequisite: It is strongly recommended that students have taken, or be taking concurrently, Methods and Techniques of Social Research.

E XPLORATIONS IN SOCIAL INEQUALITY An imbalance between rich and poor is the oldest and most fatal ailment of all republics Plutarch A 1979 Carnegie study ("Small Futures: Children, Inequality, and the Limits of Liberal Reform", Richard de Lone principal investigator) found that a child's future to be largely determined by social status, not brains. Consider Bobby and Jimmy, two second-graders, who both pay attention in the classroom, do well, and have nearly identical I.Q.s. Yet Bobby is the son of a successful lawyer; Jimmy's works infrequently as custodial assistant. Despite their similarities, the difference in the circumstances to which they were born makes it 27 times more likely that Bobby will get a job that by time he is in late 40s will pay him an income in the top tenth of all incomes in this country. Jimmy had about one chance in eight of earning even a median income. Now, more than two decades later, the projected inequality of fates of Bobby and Jimmy's second grade successors is even greater. For a variety of reasons to be here explored, inequality in the United States has increased to the extent that the gap between the rich and poor is larger now than at any point in the past 75 yearsgreater than that of any industrialized nation (see Edward N. Wolff's 1995 Top Heavy: A Study of Increasing Inequality of Wealth in America , Twentieth Century Fund). Federal Reserve figures for 1989 found the wealthiest 1 percent of American households (with net worth of at least $2.3 million

EDUCATION AND SOCIAL INEQUALITY Education, then, beyond all other devices of human origin, is a great equalizer of conditions of menthe balance wheel of the social machinery. Horace Mann, 1848 Civilization is a race between education and catastrophe. H.G. Wells (1866-1946) In large states public education will always be mediocre, for the same reason that in large kitchens the cooking is usually bad. Nietzsche W HAT REALLY ARE THE FUNCTIONS OF EDUCATION? With cognitive labor rapidly supplanting physical labor, the theme of the times seems to be that if Americans are to successfully compete in the new economic world system then the quality and quantity of their education must be increased. Education is seen to be the great panacea by which inequality and poverty can be reduced, a national investment in human capital now that people costs comprise about two-thirds of the cost of any product (see causal models of education's role in status attainment ). In addition, education has been viewed as the mechanism by which immigrants are "Americanized"the very cauldron of the American "melting pot." Further, with the proliferation of McJobs in the service sector wherein work is "dumbed down," with the increasing numbers of over-educated and underemployed individuals in the labor force, and with

9. SOCIAL STRATIFICATION that there have been two persistent fundamental issues in the study of social inequality and stratification over time. http://www.spc.uchicago.edu/ssr1/PRELIMS/Strat/stmisc2.html

MARK GRANOVETTER ''Toward a Sociological Theory of Income Differences'' In this paper, Granovetter expresses his dissatisfaction with the current theories of income difference - status attainment and human capital - as well as the new structuralist approaches. Instead, he prefers a combination of these tow paradigms and adds a component that tries to explain the matching process. His theory, then, has three factors: (a) characteristics of the job and employer (new structuralist approach); (b) characteristics of the individual who occupies the job (neoclassical theory and status attainment and human capital); and how a and b get linked together what he calls the (c) matching process. This paper is important for several reasons. Not only does it summarize the major theories on wage attainment, it also provides critiques. In addition we get the added bonus of Granovetter's theory of embeddedness (which is the matching process he is talking about). A REVIEWS AND CRITICISM OF EXISTING THEORIES OF EARNINGS DIFFERENCE Status Attainment and Human Capital Theories. He says that these two models are similar in their almost exclusive attention to characteristics and decisions of individuals and their neglect of the nature of jobs and matching process. The attainment of status or income is caused mainly by background, personal characteristics, and levels of achievement. Socioeconomic background affects mental ability; background and ability affect educational attainment; background, ability, and education affect occupational achievement; and all of the preceding variables affect earnings. This model exhausts the influence of fundamental conditions of ascription and achievement. The biggest criticism that Granovetter has with this tradition is that it pays little attention to employers and jobs or to matching processes. (There was no talk here of human capital theory; it will be discussed a little later).

12. Social Class industrial societies, including Britain, our system of social stratification is much more fluid that is, we experience http://www.hewett.norfolk.sch.uk/curric/soc/class/class.htm

SOCIAL CLASS The grouping of people together and according them status within society according to the groups they belong to, is as old as society itself. Racial grouping is one way that societies have done this e.g. the American South before the US civil war. Religion is another - parts of Northern Ireland until the 1960s. One common way is through the "caste" system to be found in India. Here, social differentiation is stressed by the "caste" that each individual is born into e.g. the "Brahmin" caste is the top caste and the "untouchables" are the bottom caste. Caste membership in this life is the result of "good" or "bad" conduct in the previous life. In Medieval Britain, the "Feudal System" of land ownership meant that the "nobility" of land owners, with its sense of family tradition, privilege and knightly conduct became the dominant ruling group. Clearly, in most modern industrial societies, including Britain, our system of social stratification is much more fluid - that is, we experience a good deal of

JAMES BARON Organizational Perspectives on Stratification Organizations impinge on career outcomes in two important ways: 1) The division of labor among jobs and organizations generates a distribution of opportunities and rewards that often antedates the hiring of people to fill those jobs. 2) Organization procedures for matching workers to jobs affect the distribution of rewards and opportunities within and across firms and thus influence the likelihood of career success Why Some Firms Pay and Promote More than Others - ''Older approaches'': human capital, status attainment -more recent approach: internal labor markets INTERNAL LABOR MARKET: Competing Interpretations 1) Labor economists emphasize technical determinants: technological progress increases workers' skill monopoly in the firm and that internal advancement opportunities are required so that senior workers will train junior personnel 2) Williamson emphasizes informational constraints that favor internal labor promotion hierarchies over perfectly competitive labor market. 3) Neo-Marxists regarded internal labor markets as an effort by capitalists to control a volatile work force.

Social Stratification and Social Mobility Sorokin holds a unique place in the study of social stratification and mo- bility. We owe to him the creation or definition of many of the terms that have become standard in this field. We also owe him a distinct vision of what the study of social mobility should be mainly concerned with, namely, the courses and consequences of demographic exchanges between groups, as distinct from the study of individuals who may move up or down or sideways in the social hierarchy. Sorokin defined social mobility in its broadest sense as the shifting of people in social space. He was not, however, interested in movements of indi- viduals but in social metabolism, in the consequences of such movements for social groups differently located in the social structure. Social stratification, to Sorokin, means "the differentiation of a given popu- lation into hierarchically superposed classes." Such stratification, he held, is a permanent characteristic of any organized social group. Stratification may be based on economic criteriafor example, when one focuses attention upon the differentials between the wealthy and the poor. But societies or groups are also
