In this chapter we learned about Global Stratification; which identifies as unequal distributions among nations, such as wealth, power and prestige. As a result it affects society by having different lifestyles and life opportunities as a whole. The author, Henslin, 2022 provides examples of the inequalities among nations, such as Great Britain the Soviet union, as explains how the different types of class, which falls in to maintining social stratification, the powerful stay powerful, etc. In addtion, many conflict theories were discussed, one being of the importance of job title, by Kingsley Davis and Wilbert Moore, they claimed that some positions are more important than others, (Henslin, 2022). Melvin Tumin contradicted, “is a surgeon really more important to society than a garbage collector?” (Henslin, 2022). Tumin’s opposition view was basically saying that “money” or “rewards” shouldn’t measure the importance of a job (Henslin, 2022).
On another note, one of the many global social problems we’re facing is food security, more people are starving everyday and we have to plan for our future. Farm lands are disappearing beca

use no one is working them, less people are working as farmers and our agriculture is fading. We need more people working as farmers and for scientists and researchers to help come up with ways to end world hunger. People are lacking the nutrients they need to live, feeding the planet has become challenging because of the planet, which brings me to climate change, as it is affecting our agriculture, land is less fertile and water is insufficient for the demand, as the world population is increaing. Food security and agriculture is affecting the entire planet and even more to impoverished countries like Africa, where this global social problem has been affecting them more than anyone. In conclusion, I believe working on research to help improve breeders and farmers on selection so that we can have natural varition in our crops and improve methods that target diseases and pesticides for better nutrients, and globalize these mothods to the entire planet. Africa’s famine mainly, is need of support, we can provide resources directly and indentify who’s behind the food production, assist Africa in general, education is key to improve living.
