Explanation:

The branch of sociology currently under purview here is the concept of Social Stratification.

Social stratification examines the  society's categorization of its people into groups based on socioeconomic factors like wealth, income, race, education, gender, occupation, and social status, or derived power.  

The people who have more resources represent the top layer of the social structure of stratification. Other groups of people, with progressively fewer and fewer resources, represent the lower layers of our society.

– Talents must be converted into skills through training , and the period isnt simple it demands sacrifices of one kind or another from those undergoing the training.

– The position to be attained must be so privileged and disproportionate such that those undergoing the training appreciate the value of the sacrifice to access to the scarce and desired rewards which the society has to offer.
