What to Focus On

  • Social structure is patterned and organised.
  • Social stratification means structured inequality between groups.
  • Inequality is linked to group membership and often continues across generations.
  • The individual and society influence each other.
  • Social structure is external and constraining, but human agency still matters.
  • Durkheim stressed social constraint.
  • The main social processes are cooperation, competition, and conflict.
  • These processes are explained through social structure, not human nature alone.
  • Functionalism focuses on system requirements.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Social stratification is just a difference in income or wealth.

Durkheim and Marx mean the same thing when they talk about society and structure.

Mechanical solidarity and organic solidarity are just two names for the same type of social unity.
