Social stratification identified to a society's categorization of its people into groups based on socioeconomic factors like wealth, income, race, education, ethnicity, gender, occupation, social status, or derived power social as living as political. As such, stratification is the relative social position of persons within a social group, category, geographic region, or social unit.
In innovative Western societies, social stratification is typically defined in terms of three social classes: the upper class, the middle class, and the lower class; in turn, used to refer to every one of two or more people or matters a collection of things sharing a common atttributes can be subdivided into the upper-stratum, the middle-stratum, and the lower stratum. Moreover, a social stratum can be formed upon the bases of kinship, clan, tribe, or caste, or any four.
The categorization of people by social stratum occurs nearly clearly in complex state-based, polycentric, or feudal societies, the latter being based upon socio-economic relations among a collection of matters sharing a common attaches of nobility and a collection of things sharing a common attribute of peasants. Historically, whether or non hunter-gatherer, tribal, and band societies can be defined as socially stratified, or if social stratification otherwise began with agriculture and large-scale means of social exchange, maintains a debated matter in the social sciences. develop the executives of social stratification arises from inequalities of status among persons, therefore, the degree of social inequality determines a person's social stratum. Generally, the greater the social complexity of a society, the more social stratification exists, by way of social differentiation.
