<P> The status that is the most important for an individual at a given time is called master status . </P> <P> Status refers to the relative rank that an individual holds; this includes attendant rights, duties, and lifestyle, in a social hierarchy based upon honor or prestige . Status has two different types that come along with it: achieved, and ascribed . The word status refers to social stratification on a vertical scale . </P> <P> In modern societies, occupation is usually thought of as the main determinant of status, but other memberships or affiliations (such as ethnic group, religion, gender, voluntary associations, fandom, hobby) can have an influence . Achieved status is when people are placed in the stratification structure based on their individual merits or achievements . This status can be achieved through education, occupation, and marital status . Their place within the stratification structure is determined by society's bar, which often judges them on success, success being financial, academic, political and so on . America most commonly uses this form of status with jobs . The higher you are in rank the better off you are and the more control you have over your co-workers . </P> <P> In pre-modern societies, status differentiation is widely varied . In some cases it can be quite rigid and class based, such as with the Indian caste system . In other cases, status exists without class and / or informally, as is true with some Hunter - Gatherer societies such as the Khoisan, and some Indigenous Australian societies . In these cases, status is limited to specific personal relationships . For example, a Khoisan man is expected to take his wife's mother quite seriously (a non-joking relationship), although the mother - in - law has no special "status" over anyone except her son - in - law--and only then in specific contexts . All societies have a form of social status . </P>
