…would improve the articles description or analysis of the problem and whySocial stratification better explains what is happening because it indicates the different classes placed on individuals by society and how these classes determine what one can do and achieve. People living or coming from upper classes are offered better privileges and afforded much more than those from lower classes.

School Uniforms There are many reasons why school uniforms are common in countries outside of the United States, and are becoming more important in the United States.
