The views of ralf dahrendorf: he spoke about ethnicity, age, gender and other factors that influence inequality in society (in addition to class).

Max weber"s view of stratification: no single characteristic totally defines a person"s position with the stratification system, weber believes there are more ways to speak about inequality than social class. He came up with three terms: class: group of people who have similar level of wealth and income.
