Question

Status is an important social construct because the positions we occupy lead to the roles that we play” is a quote from your textbook. how would you explain this quote if you were talking to a five-year-old child?

Answer 1

It could be said that what we do in life as individuals will lead as to a place, a position where we would like to be. So for example if you are a doctor and you study hard and help or save a lot of people you get status, you play an important role in society. And this also might happen to teachers, builders, vets, etc anyone who contributes to a determined group or society.
