What is meant by the terms "ascribed status" and "achieved status"? Provide an example to illustrate how a person's ascribed status could influence his or her achieved status.

Ascribed status is an involuntary position that one inherits at birth or receives involuntarily later in life. An achieved status is a voluntary position that one earns or accomplishes as a result of personal effort. If an ascribed status such a race, gender, or social class limits a person's opportunities, it could also limit the potential for achievement. Conversely, if a person's ascribed status allows him or her privileged access to opportunities, the potential for achievement would be increased.
