Sorokin's work addressed three major theories: social differentiation, social stratification and social conflict...Sounds right to me. Well said: the kind of thing I might want to quote or link to, later on.
Social stratification refers to the fact that all societies are hierarchically divided, with upper and lower strata and unequal distribution of wealth, power, and influence across strata. There is always some mobility between these strata. People or groups may move up or down the hierarchy, acquiring or losing their power and influence.
(Now I know where to find it.)
