TWO SEPARTE DISCUSSIONS 

SHORT RESPONSES 

NO PLAGIARISM

Key to the analysis of micro-level social interactions are the concepts of: social status, social roles, and social structure. Review the definition and examples of these concepts in chapter 5 (or better, check your notes from chapter 5). Then, complete the following learning activity:

Write a short statement identifying 5 social statuses that you currently occupy and describe the social roles associated with each status. 

You are not required to write formal essay. You can list the 5 statuses and describe the roles. Of course you can write a short essay, if you prefer.
