In our society today, one's social status may be perceived & measured in many ways. This answer requires generalizations. If a person is deemed to have a high social status, it may be an advantage in the person's occupation. President Obama can safely be said to have a high level of social status. This gives him more media attention and access to other people with a high social status. This may enhance his political career. The reverse may be true if a sex scandal erupts in the White House and the president is involved. His social status is reduced due to the perception of of his involvement. He will retain media coverage however, former friends at his old level of social level will shun him. On another level we can see how one's social status can affect how this person is treated in our justice system. Many sociologists will have examples of poor people with a perceived low social status are treated more harshly then a celebrity with a high social status. Recent examples are the ins and outs of the Lindsey Lohan drug and driving arrests. It can be said that she received a lighter punishment by the courts than a person of low social status. In closing the bottom line is that social status can play a big role in our society.
