Preserving that kind of social hierarchy is an unwritten assumption in deciding which solutions to the world's problems arrive on the table and which do not.

Where people are in the social hierarchy affects the conditions in which they grow, learn, live, work and age, their vulnerability to ill health and the consequences of ill health.
人们在社会等级制度中所处的地位影响到他们生长、学习、生活、工作和进入老年时的条件，他们对健康不良的脆弱性以及健康不良的后果。

所以那种心理阶级制度,是否能转译为,介于不同人种间的社会阶级制度？
