In week 3, we discussed social stratification and how it influences what goes on in many social interactions among people. Imagine you are a sociologist who works for an elected official who has no background in sociology or a related field. You have been assigned the task of identifying an important example of social stratification that impacts the elected official's constituency. After you have read the textbook and lectures assigned for this week, draft a 2-4 paragraph memo that accomplishes the following:

Question 1• Outlines the definition of social stratification from the textbook and/or lectures in correct APA citation.

Question 2• Identifies at least one example of social stratification in your community.

Question 3• Identifies one of the sociological explanations of close inequality in the United States and explain why you think it is helpful in understanding the example you discussed in part 2. For example, you could discuss the classical perspectives of Marx and Weber, the symbolic interactionist perspeective, the functionalist perspective or the conflict perspective.
