Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Order theorists believe that social class is based on earned wealth, or occupation, while conflict theorists believe that social class is based on a person's position within the social relations of production, or their relationship to the means of production. This includes factors such as ownership of property, control over resources, and access to education and job opportunities. Family lineage, caste, and inherited wealth may also play a role in determining one's social class, but they are not the primary factors emphasized by either order or conflict theorists.
