6.C.1.3

6.C.1.3 Summarize systems of social structure within various civilizations and societies over time (e.g., Roman class structure, Indian caste system and feudal, matrilineal and patrilineal societies). || ===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Literacy Standard(s)**=== || ===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Learning Target/Task Analysis**=== The student will understand: Systems of social structure have positive and negative impacts on society. Stratified systems of social structure can affect the way a society’s people interact economically and socially. For example: In ancient India, people were divided into five distinct castes. A person’s caste determined his/her social status. It also limited a person’s economic prospects. The Untouchables were at the bottom of the caste system. They were only allowed to do the worst jobs – such as waste collection. Above them were the Shudras – they were servants or manual laborers. Most of the population was a part of this caste. Next were the Vaishyas. They were farmers who owned their own land or traders who owned businesses. Above the Vaishyas were the Kshatriyas, or warriors. They were leaders or military men. The most powerful caste was the Brahmans. Priests and leaders made up this group. Only Brahman men were allowed to go to school or teach in the schools. People from different castes were not allowed to eat or socialize together. In ancient India, you could only marry someone from your own caste. The student will know: The difference between class and caste systems. How hierarchy affects social systems.
