Embourgeoisement
As a new middle class (or white‐collar workers) of more skilled and better educated workers began to expand in the mid‐twentieth century, the boundaries between the working class, or proletariat, and this new middle class grew more complex. This new middle class was not like the old middle class of independent professionals, or petty bourgeoisie, and mostly were employed in large bureaucracies where in many ways they were like higher skilled fact…
Inequality
One of the most important characteristics of human societies throughout history has been the level of inequality among people in these societies. The level of inequality is usually related to economic advancement and a stronger position in the world economy, political stability, even civil war and revolution. The level of human inequalities has increased since the earliest simple horticultural societies from about 10,000 years ago. Inequality gen…
Underclass
The concept of an “underclass” is an attempt to put a name on the very poor within the United States and describe supposed common characteristics among people at the bottom of the class structure. Thus, along with the upper class, middle class, and working class, there is an underclass, often characterized much as Marx described with his concept of the lumpenproletariat . The term “underclass” was popularized in the second half of the twentieth c…
Social Stratification
Social stratification refers to a ranking of people or groups of people within a society. But the term was defined by the earliest sociologists as something more than the almost universal inequalities that exist in all but the least complex of societies. Social stratification refers to a system with predictable rules behind the ranking of individuals and groups which theories of social stratification are meant to uncover and understand. The exist…
Social Mobility
Throughout history, humans have always been concerned about improving their standard of living and that of their offspring. And this has especially been so with what can be called modern industrial societies when such improvements in citizens' standards of living and those of their offspring have become possible. For a nation as a whole, the beliefs citizens have about their chances of a better life or not have major consequences for the politica…
M arx, K arl
Karl Marx was born in Trier, Germany, in 1818 and died in London in 1883. While often referred to as the “father of communism,” he was much more than that. Marx was a historian and social scientist who founded some of the basic social scientific ideas and concepts still used today. At first glance, the main ideas behind Marx's theory of society and social stratification are deceptively simple. But Marxian theory is at the same time both simple an…
Dumont, Louis
Louis Dumont was a French anthropologist, born in Greece in 1911 and died in Paris in 1998. He rejected the intellectual life that his mother had hoped for after his father died when Dumont was young, and worked as a manual laborer and at, among other places, the Musée des Arts et Traditions Populaires in Paris in 1936. It was there that he became attracted to history and the social sciences and chose an academic career. His first ethnographic wo…
The Deterrent Effects of Punishments for Noncompliance and Rewards for Compliance
We integrate social learning theory into Grasmick’s extended model of deterrence to propose that rational actors, in their decision of workplace deviance, consider not only possible costs of noncompliance but possible rewards of compliance. A review of the literature on cultural differences between Japan and the United States leads to the hypotheses that although perceived costs of noncompliance and rewards of compliance operate as deterrents acr…
Gender, Parental Control, and Risk Preferences
Power-control theory, in its original formulation, links patriarchal family structures to parental control, and then to gender differences in risk preference. In previous studies, most of which have been conducted in North America, direct tests of the links have shown that parental control is a key mediating variable explaining the relationship between gender and risk preferences for those raised in patriarchal families. With data from a sample o…

Differences in Perceived Levels of Informal Punishments for Noncompliance and Rewards for Compliance
The current article integrates differential association/social learning theory into Grasmick's extended deterrence theory to propose that rational actors, in deciding whether or not to comply with workplace rules, should be expected to consider not only costs of noncompliance but also rewards of compliance. The cultural differences in perceived levels of informal punishment threats of shame and embarrassment for the rule violations and informal r…

Differences in Individualistic and Collectivistic Tendencies among College Students in Japan and the United States
It is a worldwide stereotype that Japanese, compared to Americans, are oriented more toward collectivism. But this stereotypical notion of more collectivism among Japanese, which typically stems from a view that individualism and collectivism stand at opposite ends of a continuum, has been filled with dashed empirical findings, especially in a sample of college students. In the current study, following the view that individualism and collectivism…
Social Stratification
Since the earliest-known writings on the nature of human societies.there has been recognition that social stratification is a central part of all human organization (Lenski 1966).In his Politics, in 350 BCE, Aristotle wrote of the natural ranking of free people and slaves.More recently, during the Age of Enlightenment, philosophers such as Locke, Rousseau, and Montesquieu wrote of the feudal system of social stratification and its inequities (Zei…
Inequality amid Affluence
Foreign Investment and Disparities in Economic Development and Poverty Reduction
To remain economically competitive in the 21st century a nation must be able to secure resources beyond its borders and protect itself from other nations trying to do the same. While the situation has been shown to be more complex, the original assumption among world system researchers remains that multinational corporate penetration in the periphery can have negative effects on their prospects for economic development. But we now know that these…

Movements of “Crisis” and Movements of “Affluence
In response to the empirical and theoretical weaknesses of the older social stress or deprivation theories of social movements, a new general theory of social movements—resource mobilization theory—has become increasingly popular. One of the most basic points of disagreement between theorists accepting one or the other general perspective involves the extent to which the development and growth of a social movement can be attributed to the precond…
Foreign Involvement in the Preconditions for Political Violence
Current theories of internal political violence and revolution view foreign influence on these events as most often coming in two general forms: (1) direct and intentional involvement through various types of support for one side or another after a conflict has developed; and (2) the indirect and unintentional influence on the “preconditions” for political violence through such things as “cultural contact,” disruption associated with internationa…

The Empirical Side of the Power Elite Debate
From the earliest writings in social science there have been lively debates over the extent to which societies are dominated by elites.Recently, empirical data have been considered for elite backgrounds, elite interlock, elite unity, and elite influence on public policy, but interpretation of the data continue to be problematic.The findings are often confusing and conflicting mainly because of differing methodologies, definitions and indicators o…
College Achievement among Native Americans
Since 1960 there has been a rapid increase in the number of Native Americans attending college; but the rate of completion has been less than half that of whites.The research reported in this note begins an inquiry into the reasons for the lower rate of college success, indexed by GPA, among Native Americans than among their counterpart whites.Although empirical studies of college success among Native Americans are few, there has been some specul…

Lower Class Insurgency and the Political Process
This paper examines the level of protest activity by the unemployed in the United States between 1890 and 1940 as a test of the value of a political process model for explaining social movement activity.Data on protest events and elite attitudes towards the unemployed were collected from newspaper articles.Voting behavior was used as an indicator of contested elections and unemployment levels were reflected by available indicators.Consistent with…
Japanese social structure and white collar crime
While Japan is today an advanced industrial society, much like the advanced industrial societies of Europe and North America, there are significant cultural and social structural differences found in modem Japan. In this respect, as the first advanced industrial society in Asia, Japan provides us with an interesting test of many sociological theories and concepts which have been formed from the experiences of Western industrial societies. Beginni…
Unemployment and Protest in the United States, 1890-1940
We begin with a critique of previous methods (event analysis) employed in testing deprivation theories of social movements and collective violence. Then we consider the value of group analysis through examination of the relationship between one form of deprivation (unemployment) and collective action by the unemployed in the United States from 1890–1940. By using group analysis we are able to discover that the relationship between unemployment an…
Corporate Linkage and Control of the Corporate Economy
This paper begins with a brief critical review of the major perspectives in the debate concerning ownership and control of major corporations. After examination of a new source of data compiled by a Senate committee (pertaining especially to the expansion of stock control by institutional investors and, most importantly, by major commercial banks), we argue that none of these perspectives is strongly supported. In concluding we tentatively outlin…

Marxist and Functionalist Theories in the Study of Stratification
The Ecology of Welfare
The basic ecology of human groups--the relationship between the distribution of population and material resources and the resultant social and cultural patterns--is a subject which has occasioned far more talk than down-to-earth research. Filling this gap, George Sternlieb and Bernard Indik consider one dimension of human ecology-- the interplay between housing and outlook, between the physical realities of a dwelling unit and the attitudes and r…
