About social stratification and class notes

GoConqr Original

Social stratification and class notes

These notes offer different ways into the unit. Stratification introduces the idea of division into layers, making it a useful starting point. Social Class, Inequality, Poverty brings those topics together, while Gender Inequality - Notes focuses on unequal treatment and perceptions based on gender.

Reading and revising

Start with a note that matches the topic you are studying. Read a short section, then write down its key terms in your own words. The notes on spatial inequality, social class and health disparities offer a way to explore how residential segregation relates to inequality.

For a different perspective, read World Systems Theory - Notes, which considers societies within a wider economic, political and legal framework. Compare the ideas with those in your first note and record any points you want to revisit.

If you want to see connections between ideas, switch to a mind map on the unit page. When you are ready to check recall, try a quiz there.

Pick a topic and explore the notes that interest you.
