Answer:
The correct option is : d. is a matter of inequality and beliefs about why people should be unequal.
Explanation:
Social stratification is defined as a system of social ranking in a society. In this system, the people are categorized in groups and ranked on the basis of their socioeconomic status.
The four principles of social stratification are:
1. It reflects the differences between the various groups in a society. It does not reflect the differences between individuals.
2. It is present in every society but varies from place to place.
3. It gets carried on to the next generations.
4. It includes inequality and difference in the beliefs between the various groups of the society.
The judicial branch of the government interprets laws. When cases are brought to the Supreme Court (or any other lower civil court in the United States), it is the Court's (judiciary's) job to interpret the relevant law in the case. The Court might decide that the law is being unfairly executed or that the law was unconstitutional to begin with. Whatever the Court decides, this becomes the precedent for how the law must be interpreted. Since the Supreme Court is the highest court in the land, it can determine how laws must be interpreted for the entire country.
Answer:
Hilbert´s Hotel (by David Hilbert)
Explanation:
Imagine you are a foreign tourist that has just arrived to a town. In that town theres the<u> Hilbert´s Hotel</u>, internationally recognized for being the only hotel with <em>infinite rooms</em>. When you arrive to the lobby, you ask the manager to give you a room:
- Manager: "Im terribly sorry, but an infinite group of people has just arrived and all the rooms are full"
- You: "How is that possible? I thought you had infinite rooms
- Manager: "Indeed, but they are now full"
- You: "But that´s impossible... if there are infinite rooms they can´t all be full. I know there´s a way for me to get a room"
What would you do? You really need that room to spend the night...
NOTES: All the rooms are listed from one to infinity and only 1 person is able to stay per room.
SOLUTION
- You: "Look friend, all you have to do is tell the infinite group to move up one room, so the person staying the room 1 will move to the 2, the 2 to 3, the 3 to 4 and so on to infinity and i can take the room number 1. That way all the tourists, including me, would have a room."
EXTENSION OF THE PROBLEM
What would you do if two infinite groups of tourist´s arrives? How would you place them in the Hilbert hotel?
(hint: pair numbers are also infinite)
Significance of the problem
This particular problem is very interesting to me because it forces me to think out of the box something not only amusing but necessary to sort out day to day events.
