Which of these arguments about stratification is a structural-functional theory? Group of answer choices Stratification is based on power relations that are structured into society. Stratification is needed because it ensures that people with the right abilities end up in the right positions. Stratification is in all societies, but only becomes inequality at the face-to-face level. When societies are structured poorly, they have dysfunctional ways to stratify people.

Explanation:

According to a functionalist perspective, differences in power, wealth, and other rewards within the social structure are justified, because they motivate the most qualified people to exercise their talents in the most important jobs.

Society is unequally structured because of people’s inherent inequality in functional importance.

A problem with this view is that it is difficult to determine the functional importance of any job.

Another problem with this view is that it assumes that the current system of stratification is fair and rational, which is not always the case.
