The omphalos.

Explanation:

The omphalos was a marble stone in the Temple of Apollo in Delphi, Greece, which, according to the Greeks, designated the focal point of the world.

According to the legend, the omphalos fell from the sky as a meteor. He was venerated in the sanctuary of Apollo. Originally it was probably a sacrificial stone of the goddess Gaia and marks the place where the eagles sent by Zeus in the extreme west and in the extreme east met in the middle of the world. According to Pausanias, it was the world axis, the mythical connection between heaven, earth and the underworld.

Alexandra [31]

Social stratification is defined directly as the sociological process of dividing a society into social strata, or levels, depending on various characteristics: economic level, professional occupation, income, place of residence, birth origin and access to wealth or lack of it. These characteristics may define the place a person may have within his/ her society and his/her access to influence, social mobility, social acceptance and social status. Some countries allow for social mobility between the stratas, but mostly, even in the most westernized and democratic nations, social mobility may be very difficult, especially when it comes to acceptance.
