social hierarchy  

Definición

  • Social hierarchy (also referred to as social stratification) denotes the rank ordering and the accordant power, prestige, and life chances of people who are similarly categorized along some dimension of social difference (e.g., social class, race, and gender). These stratified and inequitable social divisions are relatively stable and are reproduced over time because people's life experiences and social opportunities depend on their social category and the ranks of different social categories are historically resistant to change.
