Answer to Question 1
Sociologist Everett Hughes identified a master status as the most important status that a person occupies it dominates all of the individual's other statuses and is the overriding ingredient in determining a person's general social position. Being poor or rich is a master status that influences many other areas of life, including health, education, and life opportunities. Occupation provides important clues to a person's educational level, income, and family background. An individual's race/ethnicity may also constitute a master status in a society in which dominant-group members single out members of other groups as inferior on the basis of real or alleged physical, cultural, or nationality characteristics. Master statuses are vital to how we view ourselves, how we are seen by others, and how we interact with others. Master statuses confer high or low levels of personal worth and dignity on people. Those are not characteristics that we inherently possess; they are derived from the statuses we occupy.
