The Inequalities In Society And Their Evolution

The inequalities in society and their evolution

Social stratification has been primarily in the development of societies, however, for a long time more than a topic of reflection has become an imposition issue. The inequality produced by capitalism, imperialism, racism, sexism, among others, have supported interest from several sociological perspectives, from micro and macro sociological analysis, with the intention of understanding the ideology that has supported such marked differentiations and the organizationOf the struggles against these injustices.

Social stratification is a concept created by sociology, which speaks directly of an evil that has been present in almost all of humanity, it is a division made by social strata, which limits existential growth, said in Kerbo’s words “the objective ofStudy of sociology, and therefore of social stratification, has to do with the properties of groups, structures and social forces."In this way the world patterns of social inequality, the control and domain of the institutions, who are the main social representatives, and the repression towards those who do not follow the ideals of a majority, or even a minority, but with great power, but with great power, are highlighted, but with great powerpurchasing.

Among the foundations that allow the authors Therborn and Kerbo to define the concepts and processes that characterize and distingu, in addition to trying to address such concerns from a multidimensional and multidisciplinary perspective.

Social differentiation is understood as a systematic process that categorizes and classifies people on a scale of social value such that the classification of one affects life opportunities in an unequal way. Taking into account Kerbo “social differentiation, which occurs simply, when we find individuals with different individual qualities with different social roles."

This is how it refers to the categories of people such as gender, social class, race and ethnicity, and how they position themselves in relation to access to various social goods such as labor market, the acquisition of goods, education and representation in apolitical context. The successive forms of social differentiation are configured by a variety of factors that are determined by sociocultural speeches.

For its part, Thermal has conceptualized three types of inequality that can have a relevant influence on the health and well -being of an individual, where they can deny the ability to function fully as a human being who feels part of an equitable society.

The first is vital inequality, this can be measured with relative ease through life expectancy and survival rates, destroys millions of human lives in the world every year. The second refers to existential inequality that hits the individual as a person;It constitutes the denial of personality, rights, dignity, respect, degrees of freedom and self-development. Finally, the inequality of resources, where the inability of people is presented to act with all their capacity. Which means that human actors have very different resources to take advantage of their own well -being. 

Therefore, it is observed as in most cases, the aspect of differentiation and social inequality results in social classes in society that make up social stratification, so that a certain group of people can access certain things toThat the other group cannot access, mainly those who demonstrate to have a greater range at the purchasing level at the hierarchical level.
