As stated on page 209, "No known system of stratification is either totally open or totally closed." Our goal for this week is to analyze systems of stratification and
test the validity of this statement.
For your original post, answer the following questions using information from the textbook and/or other reliable sources.
Does evidence exist to show that the American system of social stratification is open?* (Hint: Consider the textbook evidence and any other source you feel is valid,
reliable, and credible).
Does evidence exist to show that the American system of stratification is closed?* (Hint: Consider the textbook evidence and any other source you feel is valid,
reliable, and credible).
*Please explain your responses and provide information for each question rather than just saying "Yes" or "No."
