A social stratification mind map shows how societies rank people into layers based on wealth, prestige and power. The topic divides into systems such as caste, estate and class, along with the dimensions used to measure position. Mapping these branches helps you compare how each system differs and where they overlap.

Systems: closed caste, estate and open class structures
Dimensions: economic, social and political ranking
Key theories: Marx on class, Weber on status and party
Mobility: how people move between strata
Consequences: inequality in health, education and opportunity

Use the map to revise before exams or to plan an essay. You can generate a personalized social stratification map with CogniGuide from your own notes.
