Children learn these values at a young age  Values: Beliefs and moral views tha are deeply held by most people in society. Values areoften specific to certain cultures. (ie: In the west, getting an education is a commonly shared value).  Status: Position in society. People can have several statuses!  Ascribed Status (age, sex, ethnicity)- Something you cant change  Achieved Status: Change through individual efforts and work (ie becoming a lawyer, a doctor)  For ex: In India, status is ascribed...people cant change their social position through education. In Western Europe, people can change their position through education or work
