Abstract
Social strata are horizontal layers of persons occupying positions with approximately equal access to social values of communities. Every society provides a unique arrangement of social strata with respect to one another. The modern mass society is no exception. Social positions of high rank resting on notoriety - the modern celebrity - are a foundation for prominence in a manner found nowhere else.
