"Society"
In all societies, however, they are either achieved or ascribed. Achieved statuses are ones that are acquired by doing something. For instance, someone becomes a criminal by committing a crime. In contrast, ascribed statuses are the result of being born into a particular family or being born male or female.Both achieved and ascribed statuses exist in all societies. However, some cultures choose to emphasize the importance of one or the other. We also discuss in class about the conflict theory that there are also conflicts in all human societies, and all societies have systems for regulating it.Conflict between people or groups often arises from competition for resources, power, and status.
By you putting this in other words then its in the book, I understand what is achieve status and ascribed status. I know there's a lot of people that would like to change their gender but that's something you cant change from one day to the other. Achieve status is something that people might look up to you but you have to work for it. Its like Justing bieber he became famous because he spam his video of him singing, he had contributed in community services. He became famous and a lot of people look up to him.
ReplyDeleteSociety is a human-based unit in a certain region. I think the most affective status of a person is his/her master status. Master status is either ascribed status or achieved status. Since people have different roles according to their statuses, for instance, being a male or female could be different in roles because of the different gender status. That would apply to "society functionalism" which people interact and communicate with the society as we learned today ---socialization
