Document Summary
Lecture 4: social inequality the global divide (sept 19) Agenda (we will not get through all of this in one lecture) Functionalist approach to understanding inequality critique of functionalism. So power in social realm is based on honour, status, prestige, our classes are positioned based on. We see cultural shift from trad (tribal leader) to rational-legal someone gaining authority b/c of. In this more contemp framework the dom class will be seen as power-seeking wealth & will see that. More holistic approach to it, looks at plurality of it what is your market positions & how are you. Ownership means of prod absolutely matters, but not only thing that matters how much power you. Once an ind gains all this they will close the door behind them won"t let anynone get ahold of this as well no one wants more ppl on top.
