1SOCIAL MOBILITY AND CLASS SYSTEM
The controversy over the relative merits of the material and moral incentives has
turned into one of the major battleground for the verbal war among and within the socialist
nations. Resolution of this important debate would decisively influence the course of
socialism each and everywhere for the effective systems of the incentives usually taps heavy
reservoirs of creative energy that might otherwise be completely get wasted. Through
governing the behaviour, incentives directly influence the rate of economic growth and with

Sates, there are very opportunities that are been created equally for all the people living there.
People there do not have the access of same resources like best schools or best

who belong from the same class have similar types of jobs and similar levels of income.
Stratified class system results in inequality among the citizen. People who live within the
same level or strata are the members who are said to belong from the same social class. It is
very tough to experience a social mobility in between the strata, especially while moving
