Meaning of Sport Activity in the Context of Social Stratification
Abstract
Sporting
events, one of the activities of people's free-time evaluation, offer
sociologists a sense of the stratification of societies. In other words, the
diversity of sporting events constitutes one of the means of measuring
stratification in societies. Sporting events reflect the diversity of social
strata, either by participating or watching them. Because each social layer
wants to be different from the other and makes these differences visible
throughout the daily life. It therefore uses its artistic and sporting
activities to distinguish its social layer from its subordinate. We can talk about
sporting events unique to the strata as a result seen as a matter of preference
both in terms of opportunities for access to sporting activities (as there are
cheap sports activities and sports with expensive cars) and the internalization
of the choice of social stratum. In this article, the strategies that the upper
social classes use to protect their class boundaries through the likes of life
styles are discussed in the context of the choice of sportive events.
