Theoretical Perspective Assumptions


Structural-Functionalism Stratification is required to attract people with
exceptional intelligence, knowledge, and skills to
the most critical vocations. As a result,
stratification is both necessary and unavoidable.
Conflict Theory Stratification is caused by a lack of opportunity as
well as discrimination and prejudice against the
poor, women, and people of color. It is neither
required nor unavoidable.
Symbolic-interactionism People's ideas, habits, daily interactions, and self-
concepts are all influenced by stratification.
