The Functionalist Perspective of Social Stratification Argues That

The functionalist perspective of social stratification argues that:

A) the function of a complex society forces individuals to fulfill duties that are not equally valued.
B) social stratification results from the constant struggle for scarce goods and services in complex societies.
C) rewards available to some individuals in a society motivates people to take on difficult and/or risky tasks for the benefit of the whole society.
D) every class (or status) takes on risky work because the sacrifice is temporary and will shift to another class afterward.
E) the only way to organize a large population of people is to make some classes subordinate to others.
