For this assignment, you will complete a two-part essay on status and roles. Please label the sections in the essay as Part I
and Part II.
Part I
Describe some achieved and ascribed statuses you possess that are important to your identity. Make sure to label which is
achieved and ascribed to. Why are those statuses important to your identity? Discuss how at least one social factor (i.e.,
culture, demographics, occupation, group membership, or social class) impacted at least one of your career or educational
achieved statuses.
Part II
Role strain, role conflict, and role exits occur in connection to our status. Discuss one example you have experienced with
role exiting. To what extent does your experience match Ebaugh’s four stages of role exiting described in Chapter 5 of the
textbook? How did role conflicts or role strain contribute to the role exit?
