A social stratification concept map shows how societies rank people into layers based on wealth, power and prestige. Sociologists describe the main systems as caste, class, estate and meritocratic models. Most maps start from these systems and then branch into the dimensions of inequality and the forces that move people between layers.

Systems: caste, estate, class and meritocratic ranking
Dimensions: economic, status and political inequality
Theories: functionalist and conflict views of inequality
Mobility: upward, downward and intergenerational movement
Measures: income, occupation, education and wealth indicators

Use the map to revise before exams or to plan an essay. Create your own version with CogniGuide from your sociology notes to keep every branch tied to your course.

Social Stratification Concept Map FAQs

Answers to common questions about stratification and building a map of it.

What is social stratification?

Social stratification is the ranking of people into layers within a society. The ranking is based on factors such as wealth, income, occupation, power and social prestige. It tends to persist across generations, which is why sociologists study it as a structural feature.

What are the main systems of stratification?

Sociologists usually describe four main systems: slavery, caste, estate and class. Caste systems fix position by birth, while class systems are more open and depend partly on achievement and economic position.

Which file types can I use to make a stratification map?

You can upload PDF, Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPTX), text or Markdown files, or images of your notes. You can also type a topic directly and the AI will build the map from it.
