"Stratification Reflects Individual Merit"
Captions available
The idea
Stratification is a structural arrangement that exists before any individual enters it, so a person's position reflects the structure at least as much as their effort within it.
In practice
Effort varies within every layer, and the layers persist across generations regardless.
Where people slip
Effort is real and is not the question; the question is what effort is applied to.
