Status and Roles

Most people associate their status with their person's lifestyle, education or occupation reputation. According to sociologists, the state describes where a person is in a particular environment. We all have occupied several states and play a role that may be related to them. A role is a set of norms, values, behaviors, and character traits associated with a state. Individuals can reveal the identity of students, employees, and club presidents and can play one or more roles with each individual.

At any time, the above individuals may occupy the competitor's state, date, high confidence, or many other people, depending on the setting. Individuals play different roles or roles for each state change

Society decides what is deemed suitable for various conditions of personality behavior. For example, every society has a status of "mother". However, depending on society, I think that it is not appropriate for mothers to play an authoritative role in their families. Other societies afford a lot of power to their motherhood. Depending on society, students should follow the teacher completely. In American society, student roles include asking teachers questions and even asking questions of teachers' opinions.

Role contradiction arises from the competitive needs of two or more characters competing for our time and effort. The more our state, the more we take on the role.

Members of the non-industrial society usually have only a small number of identities, such as spouses, parents, villagers. At the same time, a typical American middle class woman has many identities and may therefore have many roles. She is a mother, a wife, a neighbor, a member of PTA, an employee, a boss, a city council chairperson, and a part-time student. Since people in modern society have so many roles, they are more likely to experience role conflicts than people in non-industrialized society.

For example, a working father should go to work on time, but please be late as one of his children is sick. His role as a father and an employee will subsequently collide. His father's role has decided he will take care of sick kids and his role as an employee has required that he get to work on time.

Occasionally, status and role can cause many problems such as change in expectation of position, imbalance between position and role, role as a goal, role conflict, and role tension. These issues are closely related to status and role. Some of them are caused directly and indirectly by changes in roles and status in our normal lives. Many people in our society want to change the status quo and they do their best to change their situation. This leads directly to an imbalance between status and role. Examples include countless things, conflicts between work among families, collisions between sexes, conflicts between income and work, conflict between work and knowledge, and so on. These countless examples remind the movie "split". We have many positions and roles in ourselves, and sometimes it is difficult to concentrate on one thing.

The social role defines a set of actions expected of a person with a particular identity. It is easy to confuse states and roles, but the fundamental difference between them is that we take a position and play a role. Each state has a series of expected actions (roles). Women occupy the status of their mothers as they become babies and become mothers. She should also fulfill her mother role by caring for her children (and others) and taking care. Interestingly, the expectation of the role may change over time It is not ancient times, but while my father was playing Breadwinner, the mother stayed with the child "I saved the house." In our culture today, this still exists, but it is no longer a strict expectation for the role of the mother - an acceptable choice. But in other cultures mothers working outside the house are still considered odd or even unacceptable.

We all have our own position and role in all the social groups we belong as individuals. Status is our relative social position within the group and the role is part of our society that we expect to play a role in a specific position. For example, a man may have a father's position within his / her family. Because of this situation, he should play a role for his children and in most societies he asked him to train, educate, guide and protect them. Of course, mothers usually play complementary roles.
