Social status is the position or rank of a person or group, within the society.

Status can be determined in two ways. One can earn their social status by their own achievements, which is known asachieved status. Alternatively, one can be placed in the stratification system by their inherited position, which is calledascribed status.

An embodied status is one that is generated by physical characteristics located within our physical selves (such as beauty, physical disability, stature, build).

The status that is the most important for an individual at a given time is called master status
