Question: 1 / 400

What is stratification?

The layering of rocks in a predictable pattern

Structured inequality between different groups of people

Stratification refers to the structured inequality between different groups of people. It is not related to rock formations (A), economic classification systems (C), or arrangements of particles (D). Stratification refers to differences in power, wealth, and social status that are systematically embedded in societies and create distinct social classes. It can also involve discrimination and unequal access to opportunities. So, while the other options may involve layers or arrangements, they do not capture the concept of social stratification.
