Social+Structures+of+People

** Social Structures and Patterns ** Are most societies stratified throughout history? Do all cultures have an **upper, middle, and lower class**? Are these classes further divided into **occupational (vocational)** classes?  Does the society allow **movement** from one social structure to another? Is there ability for **education** and **gaining of wealth**? Can joining a group or building a support network help to elevate a person socially (**social transformation**), or is mobility a **zero-sum phenomenon** and **set for life** (**an ascribed status**)?
