Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Global stratification refers to the unequal distribution of wealth, power, and prestige on a worldwide basis, which includes both within and between countries. It is not just limited to inequality among the nations of the world, and does not necessarily result in similar lifestyles or life chances for people. The level of democracy in a country can be influenced by many factors, including its level of development, history, and culture, but is not the defining feature of global stratification.
