Conflict Theory on Stratification
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Conflict theorists argue stratification persists because those advantaged by it control the rules that reproduce it, from inheritance law to schooling.
Show
The arrangements determining who inherits and who is credentialed were themselves decided by someone.
Watch for
The claim concerns the reproduction of advantage rather than the motives of any individual.
