Question

What are the functional consequences of inequality for society as a whole? Relate this to the Davis-Moore thesis.

Answer 1

Answer:

According to Davis Moore thesis, stratification is important based on the important roles played by each gender. Each should be treated according to the complexity of their social roles.

As per the question. the society is socially stratified when both genders are discriminated on their sex and not their skill set. This is huge contradiction to the Davis Moore thesis because the society discriminates based on sex whereas his thesis discriminates based on the complex roles .
