social class and death  

Definición

  • Tragic events often dramatize how individuals' social class determines where, when, and how they die. Class-based stratification systems—determined by one's location within the hierarchies of economic affluence, social prestige, and bureaucratic authority—are one of the most potent determinants of occupation, lifestyle, beliefs, and social opportunities in capitalist societies.
