1.
Define the key terms used to analyze the class structure. Include a
brief description of other economic stratification systems as found in
your text.
2. Describe the different social and economic lifestyles
among the different social classes. Include a discussion of the very
wealthy as outlined by Dr. William Domhoff. Describe the different jobs
that journalist B. Ehrenreich performed in her analysis of the working
class found in “Nickel and Dimed.” Continue your paper by discussing
the causes of inequality and the functions of poverty.
3. The next
section of the paper will be an examination of what you have learned
about social class and the functions and dysfunctions of inequality.
4.
In the last section of the paper you will need to provide a critique of
the class structure. Remember complete inequality and total equality
are both unrealistic and probably not desirable. However, between these
two extremes are myriad of options. Reflecting on Rawls, what type of
inequalities would be preferable for your “ideal” society?
