Chapter 9- Theories of Global Stratification

Men usually live higher than females. The terms gender inequality and gender stratification are often used interchangeably. There are many ways to study sex stratification

: Theory explains the unequal economic distribution based on structural / technical and cultural differences between countries These three stages are called "Rosto stage".

Compare countries' economic stability, power, status and wealth and focus on uneven distribution of resources

Global stratification is a social stratification on a global scale. If social stratification raises concerns about inequality among small groups, global stratification will draw attention to inequality across countries

Dynamic economic growth based on political, economic or technological change, rapid and autonomous growth occurs when society follows an economic process rather than a tradition

During the period of modern comfort, customers focused on durable goods, forgotten some stages survival rate before, high mass of the first generation of people who are interested in economic development, people, art And three generations of music, concerning the social position of the second generation

There are countries that can lower prices by lowering costs, and can also lower costs by lowering wages of citizens, deteriorating working conditions, lengthening working hours, increasing pressure and demand.

The traditional stage limits production and produces the lowest production volume; can increase production; uncultivated land

Colonial theory: dealing with the various ways a country uses to dominate other countries and regions

Imperialism: control without colonies, related pioneers, or formal domination methods; more economic domination and exploitation

Consumption around the world is very uneven. There are massive consumption in the world, but there is also a big gap between the comfort and the conditions of people living in.

Farmers must meet specific criteria such as minimum prices of products and environmental standards.

Critics believe that this approach will promote consumption first, and this is the cause of the problem.

Three theories of colonialism, world system theory, and poor culture explain the origin of global stratification. The global stratification is currently maintained through new colonialism (economic and political superiority of the most developed countries among the most advanced countries) and multinational corporations (companies crossing many borders). Multinational companies are working closely with elites from countries that are not the most developed countries to access the raw materials, labor and markets of these countries.

The structural interpretation of global stratification is called dependency theory. Not surprisingly, this theoretical perspective challenges the assumption of modernization theory (Packenham, 1992). Modernization theory has attributed global stratification to the "wrong" cultural values ​​and practices of poor countries, but dependency theory is based on the global stratification of the exploitation of these countries by rich countries I blame it. According to this view, poor countries were conquered and colonized early in the times by European countries, so there was never the opportunity to pursue economic growth. European countries have stolen resources from poor countries. They make their people slaves or use them as cheap labor. They set up their own government and often prevented locals from receiving good education. As a result, the colonial countries were unable to establish professional and commercial classes, and in the industrial era they were able to develop the economy in other ways.
