Which of the three components of donald noel's (1968) "noel hypothesis" do you think is most significant in leading to some type of stratification between different groups? explain why you feel this is the case. additionally, do you feel that power and inequality between groups leads to prejudice and discrimination, or does the prejudicial and discriminatory beliefs that groups already have then lead to laws and movements to increase power and equality differences? briefly explain your position.

The Noel Hypothesis elaborated by Donald Noel in 1968, states that there are 3 components regarding stratification:

Ethnocentrism is the most significant when it comes to stratification, as it is a biased way of thought in which an individual judges another person, group, or society according to his or her cultural standard.

Ethnocentrism is the core of the problem when it comes to inequality because it is the essential belief that fuels the group with more power to engage in segregational actions.

It is this Ethnocentrism what leads groups with the most power to increase the gap between other groups, as it is a way for them to maintain their privileged status.
