Assignment 1: Discussion—Social Stratification  from a African American Persective

Respond to the following:
Explain the role that stratification has played in your life.
Examine how different your life would be if you lived in a caste-system instead of a class-system.
Evaluate the role of racial, ethnic, or gender stratification in your day-to-day life.
Support your statements with examples and scholarly references.
