Answer to Question 1

Ascribed status is an involuntary position that one inherits at birth or receives involuntarily later in life. An achieved status is a voluntary position that one earns or accomplishes as a result of personal effort. If an ascribed status such a race, gender, or social class limits a person's opportunities, it could also limit the potential for achievement. Conversely, if a person's ascribed status allows him or her privileged access to opportunities, the potential for achievement would be increased.

Answer to Question 2

(1 ) hunting and gathering society;
(2 ) horticultural society;
(3 ) pastoral society;
(4 ) agricultural society;
(5 ) industrial society;
(6 ) postindustrial or information society;
(7 ) biotech society
