Question
In this excerpt from Chapter 7 of Globalization and the Demolition of Society Loo states: “The … existing division of labor and hierarchy of prestige demean and diminish many people in comparison to their capabilities and the regard they deserve as human beings. Were this not the case then there would be no necessity to conceal so many arenas of knowledge from people. The problem here, in other words, lies with the stratification of society and the differential material and non-material rewards attached to the different strata. The shortcomings here do not lie mainly with the people; the populace’s ability to understand exceeds the capacity of a highly stratified society to accommodate them and their fullest roles.” In this passage Loo is saying that
because workers CAN understand the significance of “vast horizons,” Durkheim believes that you have to avoid exposing them to those broader vistas because that would lead to class society's collapse and its radical reconstruction.
the existence of classes is not principally due to different levels of ability among the populace
functionalism’s claim that inequality must exist in order to extract the best efforts and contributions from everyone is a fraud
