Video overview of social inequality
This link takes you to a useful 4 minute Prezi video overview of social inequality. Prezi are a useful presentation tool as they are somewhat more dynamic than a PowerPoint and are cloud based so you can access them on the go. It especially focuses on the concepts of ascribed status and achieved status. After watching the Prezi and recapping their understanding of these terms, can identify their own ascribed and achieved statuses/roles in society.
