Just another Story

There are two generalized status in this world as conceptualized and developed by American anthropologist Ralph Linton. The first one is the ACHIEVED status that is earned or chosen while the other one is the ASCRIBED status which is fixed or assigned to individuals or groups based on traits beyond their control, such as sex, race, or parental social status.

We can be born rich, which is considered as ascribed status as it is tagged to us beyond our control or we can be the opposite which are product of poverty and no education.

Whether it is ascribed or achieved, we were given equal opportunities in life which is to take a stand and make a change.

Just a little introduction, the story of my life is another story.. :)
