(ie: In the west, getting an education is a commonly shared value). • Status: Position in society. People can have several statuses! • Ascribed Status (age, sex, ethnicity)- Something you cant change • Achieved Status: Change through individual efforts and work (ie becoming a lawyer, a doctor) • For ex: In India, status is ascribed...people cant change their social position through education. In Western Europe, people can change their position through education or work
