Why is Social Stratification Bad?

Social Stratification is bad because it promotes inequality. By ranking people based off of their power, prestige, or property, people are reduced to nothing more than a statistic. It is an easy way to prevent people from reaching certain milestones due to their rank. The only way to completely eradicated social stratification would be to create a perfect utopian society. Although creating a perfect society is impossible, it is important to keep on fighting again social stratification in order to expand equality for everyone.
