The social structure of a society or
group, there are several positions found to be occupied by a group of
individuals. This position is called social status. It is to take over the
position or rank of a person or group of people in the social system.
Some of these positions are natural and
they are called ascribed social status. They are acquired by birth. For
example, if a man or woman, boy or girl, black or white person, a son or
daughter, father or mother, etc. Some positions must be achieved in society
through the game, efforts, commitments, choices, decisions and other mechanisms
called such type of status achieved status. Examples are a man or a woman, a
student or a teacher, a doctor, a nurse, an athlete, etc. However, there are a
number of states that can be both ascribed and achieved. Thus an Ethiopian by
birth or by other mechanisms is the social status.
