( Marks: 10 )

According to Weber, social stratification is not simply a matter of class but it also shaped by two other aspects: status and power. How you as a sociologist see the relevance of these two concepts of stratification in the society? (5+5)

Pg ………. 58 Status in Weber’s theory refers to differences between social groups in the social honor or prestige they are accorded by others. Presently status is being expressed through people’s styles of life. Markers and symbols of status—such as housing, dress, manner of speech, occupation – all help to shape an individual’s social standing in the eyes of others. People sharing the same status form a community in which there is a sense of shared identity. While Marx believed that status distinctions are the result of class divisions in society, Weber argued that status often varies independently of class divisions. Possession of wealth normally tends to confer high status, but there are many exceptions. Olympic gold medalists, for example, may not own property, yet they may have very high prestige. Property and prestige is not one way street: although property can bring prestige, prestige

www.vustudents.ning.com can also bring property.

Power, the third element of social class, is the ability to control others, even against their wishes. Weber agreed with Marx that property is a major source of power, but he added that it is not the only source. With time, industrial societies witness the growth of the bureaucratic state. This expansion of government and other types of formal organizations means that power gains importance in the stratification system. Party formation is an important aspect of power, and can influence stratification independently of class and status. Party defines a group of individuals who work together because they have common backgrounds, aims or interests. Party can be influenced by class but can also influence the economic circumstance of party and thereby their class. Party hip cuts across class differences. There are parties based on religious affiliations and nationalist ideals and may include the ‘haves’ and ‘have-nots’. There could also be groups possessing effective political power without economic leverage (military, trade union). Therefore inequality could there due to political power. Question No: 32
