) A value is a belief we have about what is important to us, be it right or wrong. Our values
Underpin society, and the way in which it develops. 'You shall not kill another person' is a good example of a value. Norms are specific directives which govern our behaviour in certain situations. An example is the exchanging of money for items, or using manners. They are 'normal' to us.
A status is our position or standing in society by order of importance. This can relate to our profession. An ascribed status is a status which is assigned by society, which it outside out personal control. It is the status that somebody possesses due to their age, gender or family background.
Achieved status is social importance within a culture which you gain with personal effort rather than inheriting it. For example working your way to become a barrister, you cannot inherit this status within society.
