It is a system by which persons or things are ranked as being higher or lower than other persons or things. It is an arbitrary system. Criteria can be determined by considering the goals of a particular group and the qualities or abilities that are the most useful/ desirable, and those that are the least. It is a pyramid structure with one or very few way at the top and the rest gradually spreading down to the bottom - those at the top having more power or authority or esteem than those at the bottom. Government has a hierarchical order, as does corporate America, the school system, the street gang.
