Social Inequality

Video overview of social inequality

This link takes you to a useful 4 minute Prezi video overview of social inequality. Prezi are a useful presentation tool as they are somewhat more dynamic than a PowerPoint and are cloud based so you can access them on-the-go. It especially focuses on the concepts of ascribed status and achieved status. After watching the Prezi and recapping their understanding of these terms, can identify their own ascribed and achieved statuses/roles in society.
