YOUR STATUS SET, ROLES, AND ROLE PROBLEMS
1) Status Set:

Remember: A status is simply a position you
fill in society. It may be a job title, but it could
also include a position you fill within a family
or a community. For more information,
review Section 4.3 in your webtext.
b) Label each status as either ascribed, achieved, or
master.
Remember: An ascribed status is one youre

status is so important that it overrides your
other statuses. For more information, review
Section 4.3 in your webtext.
