The Study On China’s Contemporary Social Stratification In The Perspective Of Time-compression

Abstract：After the reform and opening up，the rapiddevelopment of our economy has caused dramatictransformation of society.Our country has passed throughthe road during thirty years which western developed-country need one or two hundred years，which resulted in"time compression". This extraordinary developmentdestroyed the social organism that is integral，harmoniousand natural-evolution，which caused the unbalance of socialstructure，the disconnection of social system problem.Ournormal class-differentiation should also be affected.Firstly， from the micro-aspect of time-compression—social time compression，I studyed the correlation betweensocial time compression and social stratification of the fivesocial stage of primitive society，agricultural society，industrial society and network society，which confirmedthat time-compression indeed has the effect on socialstratification. Secondly， from the macro-aspect oftime-compression—social transformation compression，Ianalyzed the representation， reason and effect of thetime-compression of social transition， dissected by time-compression on the condition(inverted T-shaped)，features(institution-oriented and logic of marketization)，problems(the immobilization of top-class，the pauperization of middle-class，the fragmentation of bottom-class) of China’scontemporary social social stratification.I found that time-compression has the assemble effect，stretching effect，polarization effect and delayed effect on the social stratumdifferentiation. Finally I cogitated the adjustment of socialstratum structure in the perspective of time-compression，and held forth suggestions that narrow bottom-class，strengthen middle-class，restraint top-class，and reshape thesocial consensus.
