Stratification

The stratification is the social science that is responsible for analysing the diferentation process which result in segmentation and differences between and within societies. A sociologist expert in stratification seeks to determine the reasons and consequences of the existence of social classes, which are becoming increasingly complex by political, economic and cultural processes specific to each country or continent.

Stratification is something I've studied self, but I’ll see it in classes. I am interested in stratification because from the theory that generates as discipline, the sociologists can get ideas for our research and thinking about social conflicts and their solutions. Actually I’m studying theories about classes and segmentation in modern societies and highly complex, and the discussion is divided between those who argue that there are still defined social classes, and those who argue that social classes don’t exist and are diluted in the complexity of the social analysis.

On the other hand these theories suggest a political action aimed at transforming our societies, which relates to the role of my discipline in the country and the continent.
