Technology, division of labor, surplus, stratification: (different depending on stage of society) Gods must be crazy movie- something unique being the focus of attention and conflict (glass bottle) You share things/food with your family (communism in family) Status- family name, used to own land (not due to money), police officer. Social class (money) and socio-economic status (money, education, occupation) Social class- people who have same power/wealth/life chance to acquire it.
