The title I used for this post are Massey's opening words for chapter seven (page 242). And his words ring true... stratification just doesn't happen. In the United States stratification is part of our history, it always has been and it probably always will be. I don't think there will ever be a "cure" to stratification. I do feel as though there can be great improvements to our society to decrease the amount of stratification there is in today's world. What these changes need to be I'm not sure, and I don't really think anyone knows.
With this overall book I have learned a lot but I have also learned that I don't really care for Massey's writing style. I like that he breaks up the reading into parts but to me it seems like he repeats a lot. Though the information that he was giving us was interesting and valid I feel like he has over researched/analyzed some areas of stratification and it is time for him to look into other areas! But he does know his stuff! That is for sure!
