Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Modern industrial societies are characterized by class stratification, in which individuals are divided into different social classes based on their economic resources, occupation, and level of education. This stratification allows for individuals and groups to have disparate access to resources and prestige. Caste systems are typically associated with traditional societies, while egalitarian societies lack significant stratification. Rank systems are present in some societies, but are based primarily on social status rather than economic resources.
