Document Summary

Social stratification: a system by which a society ranks categories of people in a hierarchy: 4 basic principles: Social stratification is a characteristic of society, not simply a reflection of individual differences. Children born into wealthy families more likely to succeed, and. The extent to how much people can control their destinies is. 2. limited by position at which they are born. Stratification stems from society rather than from individual. Patterns of inequality generally stay the same from generation live longer differences to generation. Exception especially in industrial societies social mobility: change in a person"s position in a social hierarchy: social stratification is universal but variable. The inequality of social stratification varies from society to society: social stratification involves not just inequality but beliefs. Systems of inequality also define certain arrangements as fair. Each society has different explanations for unfairness. Those with greatest social privileges support society"s system while those below want change.

Conquistar um diploma de curso superior não garante às mulheres a equiparação salarial com os homens, como mostra o estudo “Mulher no mercado de trabalho: perguntas e respostas”, divulgado pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE), nesta segunda-feira, quando se comemora o Dia Internacional da Mulher.
Segundo o trabalho, embasado na Pesquisa Mensal de Emprego de 2009, nos diversos grupamentos de atividade econômica, a escolaridade de nível superior não aproxima os rendimentos recebidos por homens e mulheres. Pelo contrário, a diferença acentua-se. No caso do comércio, por exemplo, a diferença de rendimento para profissionais com escolaridade de onze anos ou mais de estudo é de R$ 616,80 a mais para os homens. Quando a comparação é feita para o nível superior, a diferença é de R$ 1.653,70 para eles.

Considerando o tema abordado acima, analise as afirmações seguintes.


I. Quanto maior o nível de análise dos indicadores de gêneros, maior será a possibilidade de identificação da realidade vivida pelas mulheres no mundo do trabalho e da busca por uma política igualitária capaz de superar os desafios das representações de gênero.
II. Conhecer direitos e deveres, no local de trabalho e na vida cotidiana, é suficiente para garantir a alteração dos padrões de inserção das mulheres no mercado de trabalho.
III. No Brasil, a desigualdade social das minorias étnicas, de gênero e de idade não está apenas circunscrita pelas relações econômicas, mas abrange fatores de caráter histórico-cultural.
IV. Desde a aprovação da Constituição de 1988, tem havido incremento dos movimentos gerados no âmbito da sociedade para diminuir ou minimizar a violência e o preconceito contra a mulher, a criança, o idoso e o negro.


É correto apenas o que se afirma em:

a)I, II e III.
b)I, III e IV.
c)I e II.
d)II e IV.
e)III e IV.
