Social Stratification

Abstract

Every society has an organizational structure that reflects what is valued by that society. Those members of the society that are deemed more valuable or that contribute more to society are rewarded with a larger share of the goods and services. The ancient Mediterranean world functioned within a rigid hierarchical structure, in which the most valued members were openly designated-in the family, the city, the empire, and the cosmos. The virtues of the social stratification system were made apparent through the patronage/clientage system as the means of distribution of goods, the cultural battle for honor and the aversion to shame, and the patriarchal structure of the family, to name a few instances. Recognition of the prevailing hierarchical structure in the ancient Mediterranean world sheds light upon biblical writings, some of which affirm, and others of which challenge the cultural customs arising from the hyper-stratification of the societies from which they emerged. . She has published articles on Paul's letter collection and women in the New Testament era, and is completing a monograph on Paul as letter-writer in a non-literate culture.

“…Наконец, для низкостатусных индивидов с большей частотой указывали возраст, а также категорию «исключение из высокого» статуса в качестве причины отнесения к статусу.Обсуждениеценности молодого поколения, в целом. Указанный факт согласуется с заключением Л.Джонса относительно ценностной природы социального статуса[Johnson, 2013]. Кроме того, как подчеркивалось ранее, с помощью анализа критериев статуса можно выделить ценности, актуальные для изучаемой социальной группы в настоящий момент.В связи с тем что социальный статус выступает характеристикой образа личности, в ситуации его оценки также важным является общее эмоциональное отношение, которое он вызывает у воспринимающего индивида.…”
