During Week 5, we studied social stratification and how it influences what goes on in many social interactions among people. After you have read the reading assignment and lecture for this week, please respond to all parts of the discussion by the due date assigned:

  • What are some of the factors that affect social mobility? Can these be overcome?
  • Do you believe the structural-functionalist or the social conflict approach best explains social stratification? Why?
  • How does the media reflect attitudes on gender as far as depicting women and men in very traditional roles? Provide two detailed examples that substantiate your points—these can be an advertisement, television show, website, or magazine.
  • When you think of various groups (race, class, and gender) in society, which ones have the most power and which ones have the least? Using Intersection Theory, identify two groups that have unequal amounts of power and resources, being specific and using the text and outside resources. For each group, has the power dynamic changed over time? Do you think it will change in the future? Why or why not?

In 1950, Michael and Albina Klos purchased a lot from the Molenda family, who continued to live right next door. Rather than survey the property, the buyers and sellers paced off the lot and placed stakes in the ground as boundary markers. After Mr. Molenda’s death in 1983, his widow hired a surveyor to deter- mine the exact property line. The property line turned out to be thirty inches closer to the Kloses’ house. Mrs. Molenda immediately dug up thirty inches of the Kloses’ grass and erected a fence on the true prop- erty line. Should the court require dismantling of the fence and award ownership of the thirty-inch strip to the Kloses? [Klos v. Molenda, 355 Pa. Super. 399, 513 A.2d 490 (Perm., 1986).]

The Haiyuan Earthquake’s epicenter was in the Haiyuan District of the Gansu Province in China. Tremors began in December 1920, but aftershocks were felt for month’s afterwards. The US Geological Survey measured the intensity of the initial earthquake as a 7.8 on the Richter scale. This powerful earthquake triggered an estimated 675 debris avalanche type granular flows in the regions loose soil. Loss of human life was tallied between 234,117 and 314,092 people. Property damage was estimated to be roughly twenty million dollars, or $244,786,000 when adjusted for inflation. An additional economic toll was the loss of an estimated 1.7 million head of livestock throughout the region. Such a widespread loss of life was due predominantly to residents of the areas building dwelling out of the fine soil particles or the use of cave dwellings, so much loss of life could have been avoided if more stable infrastructure was implemented.
