conflict and funtionalist veiws on gender stratification

 Conflict theorists believe that human beings are prone to conflict over such scarce resources as wealth, status, and power. However, where Clara Marx focused primarily on class conflict, more recent theorists have extended this analysis to include conflicts based on gender, race, age, and other dimensions. Conflict theorists see stratification as a major source of societal tension and conflict. They do not agree that stratification is functional for a society or that it serves as a source of stability. Rather, conflict sociologists argue that stratification will inevitably lead to instability and to social change. That statement i do comply with om a conflict standpoint for the reason of human dissatisfaction. Humans are the one species on this each that can never and will never be fully satisfied for the simple fact of greed and wanting more of every thing. When it comes to gender there is a broad conflict weather it pertains to jobs or the proper place meant of a certain gender that may be best suited for a man but then on the other hand that can not be said for the simple fact that woman will have and up roar just based on gender biast in the work place. SO the conflict will forever remain for the simple point of knowing which gender is best to complete simple things like a job or a Carrier. Take for example there are construction workers who in this present day is heavily populated with men and a fraction of woman. For that particular job of heavy lifting and demolition, the best body structure for the job is men. But still woman would a still want to fight for there opportunity to be able to work in construction. when you look at the occupations which is best suited for woman and is heavily populated by woman are care give ring. A care giver is a women who aids a women who is pregnant before during and after the birth of the child. The main reason why woman are preferred over men for this particular job is for the simple fact that woman are naturally more loving and caring and possess much more higher levels of compaction then men. But dose that give you the to exclude men for this occupation no. So you can say from a conflict perspective, there are occupations our there which gender will always be at war with one another, for that i do agree.
When you take time and view this situation form a functionalist perspective. one of the controversial statements that i might agree with is the fact of the body structure and make up will ultimately determine a best suited job depending on gender.
The one field that has effected me the most which pertains to gender stratification is in the family setting. As can clearly be noticed for the way my name is spelled, im from an African culture which a substantial amount of pressure is placed on the males to excel in all aspects of life. Which mostly pertains to academics. In the African culture academics is they to a prosperous future, so school is taken into great consideration. Some times the pressure may be even to much for males to endure. Whiles the females are more pressured in preserving there beauty and learning how to be the most supportive wife she can to her husband.
