It is universal, consequential, ancient, diversified, and a by-product of society rather than biological qualities. It determines people's life chances and lifestyle. Stratification systems include caste, class, estate, and slavery. Social mobility refers to movement within the social structure and can be vertical, horizontal, inter-generational, or intra-generational.
