SOC 333 SOCIAL STRATIFICATION
This study of societal patterns of inequality includes consideration of differences in wealth, power, prestige and knowledge. Students examine the access levels groups have to these resources and the subsequent effects of their access level on educational opportunity, housing, health care, justice before the law, self-esteem and life satisfaction. The stratification systems of different societies are studied but the primary focus is on institutionalized inequality in the U.S.
