Soci-224-Session-12-Slides SOCI 224 Social Structure of Modern Ghana SESSION 12 –STRATIFICATION - PART ONE Lecturers: Dr. Fidelia Ohemeng & Dr. Mark K. M. Obeng Department of Sociology Contact Information: [email protected] College of Education School of Continuing and Distance Education 2016/2017 Session Overview In this session, students will be exposed to Social Stratification. Every society puts its citizens into groups based on certain values. This may include gender, age, class, power and ethnic affiliation. Students would be introduced to the definition and scope of stratification, the various stratification systems and the theoretical perspectives on stratification Slide 2 Session Outline The key areas to be covered in the session are as follows: • Definition of Stratification • Description of the various stratification systems. Slide 3 Reading List • Nukunya, G. (2014). Tradition and Change in Ghana: an Introduction to Sociology. Accra: Ghana Universities Press. Chapter 10 Slide 4 What is Social Stratification? • A structured ranking of an entire group of people that perpetuates unequal economic rewards and power in society • A system of social inequality based on hierarchy of groups • Inequality exists in all societies—even the simplest Slide 5 Systems of Social Stratification • Any stratification system may include elements of more than one type – Ascribed status: social position assigned to person without regard for that person’s unique characteristics or talents – Achieved status: social position attained by person largely through his or her own effort or achievement(s). • There are generally two types: Open and Closed – Open: allows individuals to move up and down the hierarchical order with little ease. Typical examples is social class – Closed : mobility is virtually or totally impossible. Typical example is the caste system in India. Another example can be found in Rwanda in Central Africa. Slide 6 Four Systems of Social Stratification – SLAVERY – CASTES – ESTATE – SOCIAL CLASSES Slide 7 Slavery • Slavery: most extreme form of legalized social inequality • Varied from time to time – Greece: captives of war & piracy main source – United states & Latin America: was an ascribed status • Enslaved individuals are owned by other people • Treated as properties such as household pets or appliances • Today the Universal Declaration of Human Right is binding on all members of the United Nations prohibits slavery in all forms Slide 8 Castes • Castes: hereditary systems of rank, usually religiously dictated, that tend to be fixed and immobile • Hinduism in India – Four major caste called Varnas Slide 9 The Classic Case Of India • Tribalism breeds ethnocentrism – “ism” as a kind of religion –devotion or sentimental attachment to an ideal • Impact on bureaucratic procedure • Stereotyping • Utility- tribal association Slide 10 Estate • Estate – Estate system: associated with feudal societies in the Middle Ages • Required peasants to work land leased to them by nobles (owned the lands) in exchange for military protection and other services • Similar to systems such as caste & slavery positions were largely inherited (titles & privileges ) • Overtime prestige and other titles emerged independent of landownership – Titles such as Priesthood, Merchants and Artisans – This led to the collapse of the Estate system and replaced by a class system Slide 11 Social Class System • Class System: social ranking based primarily on economic position in which achieved characteristics can influence social mobility – The boundary between the classes are not precisely defined – One is able to move from one stratum to another – Class system nonetheless remains relatively stable – Marked by unequal distribution of wealth, power. – Though mostly achieved is influenced strongly by family and other ascribed statuses • Income inequality is a basic characteristic of class Slide 12 Measuring Social Class • Objective method: class is largely viewed as a statistical category – Occupation – Education – Income – Place of residence – Prestige: respect and admiration an occupation holds in society – Esteem: reputation specific person has earned within an occupation Slide 13 Social Stratification in Contemporary Ghana • Social stratification tends to get pronounced as specialisation increases with technological development. • These have introduced conditions that have widened the gap between people in terms of wealth, power, prestige and privilege Slide 14 Influence of Education • Sources of social stratification – Formal education and skills it offers underlies the nature and form of social stratification in contemporary Ghana. – The role of Gender is gradually becoming insignificant Slide 15 Political Stratification • 2 Levels – Traditional authority (Royalty) – Partisan politics • Democratic elections (President and Parliamentarians, Assembly members ) • Political appointments (Article 71 holders, Principal officers of SOEs, MMDCEs, Board members etc.) Slide 16 Religious Stratification • Orthodox Vs New Religious Movements • Emergence of New Religious Movements and the characteristics of membership – English speaking founders/ leaders (academic titles) – Local language speakers/pastors and characteristics of the founders – The place of Gender within denominations – Clear division in the Islamic Religion * Slide 17 Marriage & Family System • Nucleation of the family • Metropolis and Satellite relationship* (Urban vs Rural ) • Restricted expansion of the marriage market – Ethnicity, Social class, Religion • Social reproduction in prestigious profession* Slide 18 Education • Hierarchy of primary and secondary education system (high, middle, low class ) – Private school running international curriculum – Private school running local curriculum – Public schools • Prospects for better – Better Schools (local/abroad), – Prestigious occupation – Higher income Slide 19 Health • Discuss with examples how social stratification is evident in access to health in Ghana. Slide 20 Why sociologists study Social Stratification • Its pervasive influence on human interactions and institutions - Inevitably results in social inequalities - Certain people rank higher than others - Control scare resources - Wield power - Receive preferential treatment Slide 21.

  • The Influence of Terrorism on Discriminatory Attitudes and Behaviors
    Shades of Intolerance: The Influence of Terrorism on Discriminatory Attitudes and Behaviors in the United Kingdom and Canada. by Chuck Baker A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Global Affairs Written under the direction of Dr. Gregg Van Ryzin and approved by ___________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ Newark, New Jersey May, 2015 Copyright page: © 2015 Chuck Baker All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT The Influence of Terrorism on Discriminatory Attitudes and Behaviors in the United Kingdom and Canada by Chuck Baker Dissertation Director: Dr. Gregg Van Ryzin, Ph.D. Terrorism has been shown to have a destabilizing impact upon the citizens of the nation- state in which it occurs, causing social distress, fear, and the desire for retribution (Cesari, 2010; Chebel d’Appollonia, 2012). Much of the recent work on 21st century terrorism carried out in the global north has placed the focus on terrorism being perpetuated by Middle East Muslims. In addition, recent migration trends show that the global north is becoming much more diverse as the highly populated global south migrates upward. Population growth in the global north is primarily due to increases in the minority presence, and these post-1960 changes have increased the diversity of historically more homogeneous nations like the United Kingdom and Canada. This research examines the influence of terrorism on discriminatory attitudes and behaviors, with a focus on the United Kingdom in the aftermath of the July 7, 2005 terrorist attacks in London.

Religious Inequality in America Abstract Sociology has largely ignored class differences between American religious groups under the assumption that those differences “are smaller than they used to be and are getting smaller all of the time” (Pyle & Davidson, 2014, p. 195). This article demonstrates that profound class differences remain amongst American religious groups. These differences are as large as—or larger than—commonly examined forms of inequality such as the gender pay gap and the race achievement gap. Using the most popular categorization of American religious groups, we find that egarr dless of the particular measure examined (years of education, income, socioeconomic index score, and proportion of members with at least a bachelor’s degree) Jews and Mainline Protestants are at the top of the socioeconomic ladder and Evangelical Protestants, both black and white, are at the bottom. Furthermore, religious group significantly predicts both years of education and the overall socioeconomic standing of respondents by itself with basic controls. Likewise, both socioeconomic indicators and education significantly predict the likelihood of being in a specific eligiousr tradition on their own with basic controls.

Editorial: "Complex Religion: Intersections of Religion and Inequality" Abstract What is complex religion and how does it relate to social inclusion? Complex religion is a theory which posits that religion intersects with inequality, especially class, race, ethnicity and gender. The nine articles in this volume examine a wide array of ways that religion intersects with inequality, and how, as a result, it can create barriers to social inclusion. The issue begins with three articles that examine the role of religion and its intersection with race and racialization processes. It then moves to three articles that examine religion’s intersection with socioeconomic inequality. The issue closes with three studies of how religion’s relationship with the state creates and maintains various status hierarchies, even as some religious movements seek to combat inequality. Together, these articles enrichen our understanding of the complex task before anyone seeking to think about the role of religion in social inclusion.

Keister" Duke University Religion is an important determinant of social and economic attainment, but the mechanisms that underlie this relationship are not well understood. Early scholars recognized this connection, but their ideas do not ade­ quately explain contemporary stratification patterns. Recent research doc­ uments robust empirical relationships between religion and material outcomes but has not yet begun to identify causes of these patterns. I fill this gap by providing a comprehensive, contemporary, theoretical expla­ nation of the religion-inequality link that synthesizes ideas from early and more recent research. I draw on ideas from status attainment and life course research to develop a synthetic model that includes religion as both a background and a mediating component. I conclude by providing exam­ ples of implications of the model. These ideas improve understanding of the critical relationship between cultural orientation and material resources. Religion plays an important role in creating and maintaining social and economic inequality, but the mechanisms driving this relationship are not well understood.

South Asian Muslim Health Outcomes in Great Britain: The National Health Service and the British National Imaginary Marni Schreiber Advisor: Brett Wilson Religious Studies May 2014 Schreiber 2 Abstract Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) ensures equal access care to all British residents. Health outcomes, nonetheless, vary across socioeconomic class, education level, and geographic location, a phenomenon particularly affecting Britain’s South Asian Muslim communities. This paper will contextualize the NHS within the British national imaginary and analyze discursive, social, and economic variables influencing Pakistani and Bangladeshi poor health. I will integrate religious-based analysis into healthcare studies and question if health outcomes act as a marker of distinction between minority and majority populations.

Despite growing descriptive evidence of discrimination against minority religious groups and atheists in the United States, little experimental work exists studying whether indi- viduals face differential barriers to receiving public services depending on their religious affiliation. Here we report results from a large-scale audit study of street-level bureaucrats in the American public school system. We emailed the principals of more than 45,000 public schools and asked for a meeting, randomly assigning the religious affiliation/non-affiliation of the family. To get at potential mechanisms, we also randomly assigned belief intensity. We find evidence of substantial discrimination against Muslims and atheists. These indi- viduals are substantially less likely to receive a response, with discrimination growing when they signal that their beliefs are more intense.
