Question

In Oakland, California last year, 10,000 working-class people moved upward on the class ladder and, at the same time, 10,000 middle-class people moved downward. Assuming this is correct, sociologists would consider this an example of ________ mobility.

Answer 1

The case in Oakland is the example of the social mobility.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Social mobility is the movement of the class of people in the society. It may be from the higher class of social status to lower and lower status to higher.

• It is a relative term that determines the shift of social status in reference to social location.

• As 1000 people moved upward in class ladder as well as 1000 moved downward due to certain activities, this shows the social mobility of the people in that place.
