Communication Networks and the Rise of an Information Elite Do Computers Help the Rich Get Richer? Anelauskas, Valdas Discovering America As It Is A book by Lithuanian journalist and former anti-Soviet dissident Valdas Anelauskas in which he describes America as it is and warns about the menace it constitutes to the world. The author compares the United States to the former Soviet Union, and the countries of Western Europe. He finds the U.S. to be deficient in the area of social and economic human rights. He also describes the consequences of U.S. recent welfare reform, and gives what he considers to be the reasons that the U.S. government instituted this particular change in its social policy. Valdas Anelauskas was expelled from the USSR for his human rights activities. He settled in the United States and eventually became a dissident in America just as he was in the former Soviet Union. Ten years of observation of American reality has led Anelauskas to conclude that the U.S. extreme capitalist system represents an even greater threat than Soviet mock-communism to the well-being of the world.

This paper examines the current trends of social stratification and explores whether the achievement of total equality is realistic goal for society. The paper looks at the current American class system and discusses whether the U.S. really is a 'land of opportunity' for all its citizens. From the Paper: "By looking at Karl Marx and Max Weber's work we can begin to see the different dimensions of social stratification. Marx believed that there was a division in capitalist societies, "between those who own and control the crucial means of production, the oppressing capitalist class or the bourgeoisie, and those who have only their labor to sell, the oppressed working class or proletariat." (Hughes, 173) According to Marx these are the only two groups and the conflicting interests between the two, "provide the foundation for stratification in capitalist nations." (Hughes, 173) Weber on the other hand believed that this was a too simplistic image provided by Marx. He felt that stratification was more multidimensional than what Marx envisioned, with other divisions existing independent of the class or economic aspect."

Social stratification refers to social groups, which are ranked one above another in terms of the power, prestige, and wealth that the members of the group possess. Using the caste system in India and the three-class system in America as examples, it discusses how the members of the same group share common interests, have a common identity, and share a lifestyle that is similar to some extent and which, ultimately, distinguishes them from other members of the social strata. From the Paper: "The system of caste has historically been an Indian concept and was designed to keep different castes of groups of individuals in their designed places in society. Similarly, the class system is a modern day device for use for the same purpose. Since the caste system is an Indian invention we have to discuss it in an Indian perspective. The class system on the other hand exists in practically all modern day societies and we have taken the example of the United States to discuss the class system. The Indians use a number of languages and use the word Jat or Jati to denote a group of people who had a common language or a common religion, or had similar origin or occupations, or came from the same part of the country."

Irish Peace Society Home Upcoming events Other activities IPS in the media ... Links Social Stratification in the United States: The Problem, the History, and the Solution The problem The conflict created by economic inequality and social stratification is severely affecting the quality of life and cohesion in the United States. The unequal distribution and accessibility of resources under the capitalist system is widening the gap between the rich and the poor. Inequality in education, healthcare, job opportunities, and housing facilities play a major role in perpetuating the economic divide and classifying the American people. When the richest 20% of the population own 80% of the country's wealth and have 50% of the income, with a resulting poverty rate of 33 million, there is an obvious need for change. (US Census Bureau Website). In the following pages I will outline stratification in the US; I will give theories for the existence and origins of stratification; and I will offer suggestions for conflict transformation. Social stratification is a system of ranking people into hierarchical categories, under the guise of capitalism. According to its founding fathers and written within its constitution, the US offers an open-class system where anyone has the opportunity for social mobility. Based on individual achievement and merit, it is believed that all citizens are entitled to rights and freedoms that will advance their social standing. Widely disseminated propaganda states that anyone with drive, determination, and intelligence can achieve economic success.

Next SOUTH ASIAN HISTORY Pages from the history of India and the sub-continent History of Social Relations in India Caste and gender equations in Indian history No aspect of Indian history has excited more controversy than India's history of social relations. Western indologists and Western-influenced Indian intellectuals have seized upon caste divisions, untouchability, religious obscurantism, and practices of dowry and sati as distinctive evidence of India's perennial backwardness. For many Indologists, these social ills have literally come to define India - and have become almost the exclusive focus of their writings on India. During the colonial period, it served the interests of the British (and their European cohorts) to exaggerate the democratic character of their own societies while diminishing any socially redeeming features of society in India (and other colonized nations). Social divisions and inequities were a convenient tool in the arsenal of the colonizers. On the one hand, tremendous tactical gains could be achieved by playing off one community against the other. On the other hand, there were also enormous psychological benefits in creating the impression that India was a land rife with uniquely abhorrent social practices that only an enlightened foreigner could attempt to reform. India's social ills were discussed with a contemptuous cynicism and often with a willful intent to instill a sense of deep shame and inferiority.

RESEARCH AT FSI STANFORD Social Stratification in China during an Age of Transition 1995-present INVESTIGATORS Andrew G. Walder, PhD (Principal Investigator) - Stanford University In collaboration with sociologists at the University of California, Los Angeles, and the People's University of China in Beijing, Professor Andrew Walder has worked to design and field a nationally representative survey of 6,400 Chinese households. The survey, which took place in 1996, was the first of its kind in China. It collected detailed information on occupations, income, and housing conditions for families, in addition to complete career and educational histories for respondents and less detailed histories for spouses, parents, and grandparents. This information makes it possible to address two broad topics: the impact of the Chinese Revolution and the 1949-1979 socialist system on patterns of status inheritance and individual opportunity, and the subsequent impact of post-1980 market reforms on patterns established in the Mao era. Because the survey was designed in parallel with a survey of Russia and five other east European nations (completed in 1993), direct comparisons with other nations are now possible. Professor Walder, his collaborators, and their students are now analyzing these data in a long-term effort to understand the social impact of the Chinese Revolution and subsequent market reforms from a comparative and historical perspective.

Akan Social Stratification Akan adinkra symbol: "Ebi te yiye" Some people are well seated while others are not. (An aknowledgement of social inequality). Photo credit: G. F. Kojo Arthur Centre for Indigenous Knowledge Systems The Akan have developed an elaborate stratification systems based upon the reconition of hereditary statuses within their kingdoms. This arrangement represents a form that anthropologists call a ranked society. The principle positions consist of titles arranged in a graded hierarchy from the king who rules over the entire state, to divisional chiefs heading subordinate regions, to town chiefs at the bottom of the administrative ladder. On each level the central leader is assisted by a group of subordinate title holders who make up his advisory council and assume specialized political responsibilities. Each status, from royalty to the lowest office, is "owned" by a lineage group and is assigned to one of its members. Most are reserved for men, but some importent women's offices, such as queen mother ( ahemma , literally female king), are present. No fixed succession rule is imposed. The acquisition of some positions, such as the kingship, require broad approval from the population. These features of the Akan ranking system are typical of ranked form of stratification in that statuses are restricted but are quite numerous and arranged in a complex hierarchy based in part upon locality.

Nutini Since the Revolution of 1910, Mexican society has undergone a profound transformation, characterized by the disempowerment of the landed aristocracy and the rise of a new ruling class of plutocrats and politicians; the development of a middle class of white-collar professionals; and the upward mobility of formerly disenfranchised Indians who have become urban, working-class Mestizos. Indeed, Mexico's class system today increasingly resembles that of Western industrialized nations, proving that, while further democratic reforms are needed, the Revolution initiated an ongoing process of change that has created a more egalitarian society in Mexico with greater opportunities for social advancement.

You are here allRefer Reference Russia History ... Russia Russia Social Stratification Perhaps the most significant fact about Russia's social structure is that ideology no longer determines social status. During the Soviet era, membership in the CPSU was the surest path to career advancement and wealth. Political decisions rather than m arket forces determined social status. Despite Marxist-Leninist (see Glossary) notions of a classless society, the Soviet Union had a powerful ruling class, the nomenklatura , which consisted of party officials and key personnel in the government and other important sectors such as heavy industry. This class enjoyed privileges such as roomy apartments, country dachas, and access to special stores, schools, medical facilities, and recreational sites. The social status and income of members of the nomenklatura increased as they were promoted to higher positions in the party. The social structure of the Soviet Union was characterized by self-perpetuation and limited mobility. Access to higher education, a prerequisite to political and social advancement, was steadily constrained in the postwar decades. The so-called period of stagnation that coincided with the long tenure of CPSU chief Leonid I. Brezhnev (in office 1964-82) had social as well as political connotations. Moreover, the sluggish economy of that period reduced opportunities for social mobility, thus accentuating differences among social groups and further widening the gap between the nomenklatura
