Miami - two groups that are both black Haitian immigrants and refugees - city of hope (227) social mobility and social reproduction. Social reproduction - tendency of people to remain in their social classes of origin and to replicate the experiences of their parents. Closed stratification system - allows for no mobility and demands social reproduction. Caste system - determined prestige/standing than economic predictability. Medieval europe - ppl born in lifelong estates. Class can be a obsolete term - no stable communities of common social standing. Circulation mobility - when some move up and others drop in the system (only offered by closed and non-growing economy) For someone to move up, someone comes down. Structural mobility - when economic growth and expansion increase the room at the top so more people can move up. Greatest one occurred after ww2 - us dominated the global economy and led the world in industry and technology.
