stratification

In the dictionary, Stratification is the division of something, especially society, into different classes or layers. 

There are closed stratification structure and open stratification structure. The closed stratification  structure makes people not to move in the same generation and generation to generation. Therefore, it is not to easy for other classes to interact with each other. Also, this structure was popular in feudalism. Other structure is open stratification structure. It is free to communicate and interact with every classes and generations. Therefore, this structure thinks 'accomplishment' is important.

Moreover, there are lots of shapes of stratification structure. For example, there are pyramid, diamond, sandglass and ellipse shape structures. People mostly know about pyramid structure.

This is the most popular pyramid structure in India and it is very closed and limited. Also, there is the class that could not even be in this pyramid. The most open structure is ellipse shape structure in this 21 century.

There are lots of different classes and generation. Also, this makes the complicated stratification.
