The Roles and Positions We Play in Society

A status in sociology represents a person’s known place in society and a role consists of the

activities and rules connected to that status. People in every society are seen and interact with

others differently depending on their numerous statuses. Scholars usually divide these roles

into categories known as ascribed and achieved. Ascribed statuses are handed down at birth

or given without an individual’s control later. Race, ethnicity, gender and being a child are

part of the categories. Additionally, achieved statuses result from a person’s own actions such

as being a student, employee, leader, or volunteer. Most of the time, roles and statuses are

linked. Society believes that each person in a position should fulfil certain purposes. A

student is expected to attend classes, finish their homework and give respect to their teachers.

They serve to keep social order by teaching people how to act and making interactions

reliable. Currently, I am a student, family member and citizen. As a student, I take part in
academic tasks and take part in classroom conversations. I use my sonhood to support my

family and show respect towards the elderly members. I aim to keep myself updated and

make sure to give back to the community where I live. Those in these positions are

responsible for certain social duties. Carrying out my role makes society safer and stronger.

For example, helping my community, complying with regulations, or telling others about key

causes supports the bond and respect people have for each other.
