社会地位是什么？很重要吗？
社会地位，有狭义与广义之分。
狭义指社会等级制度或分层制度中的排列位置、权力、声望、职业、财富的象征；广义指个体在一定社会关系体系中所处的位置。
后者被认为具有严格的社会学意义，反映了个体与社会整体的关系及在与社会整体互动关系中的社会身份。
特征：（1）普遍性，凡社会成员无一不在社会群体中占据一定位置，不论其地位的高低贵贱；（2）多重性，人的社会关系是多方面的，在社会空间占据的位置与社会的联系也并非单一，但其中以经济地位为最重要，在阶级社会中集中体现为阶级地位；（3）不管是自然形成的（如性别、血缘），还是社会分工的产物（如职务等），都须得到社会的公认；（4）规定了与之相应的权利、义务、责任，即美国人类学家林顿所谓的“权利和义务的综合”；（5）与社会角色的关系密不可分，演化出“地位—角色理论”这一颇具影响的社会学中程理论。
Social status can be divided into narrow sense and broad sense. In a narrow sense, it refers to the symbols of position, power, prestige, occupation and wealth in the social hierarchy or hierarchical system; In a broad sense, it refers to the position of an individual in a certain social relationship system. The latter is considered to have strict sociological significance, reflecting the relationship between individuals and the whole society and their social identity in the interaction with the whole society. Characteristics: (1) universality, all members of the society occupy a certain position in the social group, regardless of their status; (2) Multiplicity, people's social relations are multifaceted, and the position occupied in the social space is not a single connection with the society, but the economic status is the most important, which is mainly reflected in the class status in the class society; (3) Whether it is naturally formed (such as gender, blood relationship) or the product of social division of labor (such as position, etc.), it must be recognized by the society; (4) It stipulates the corresponding rights, obligations and responsibilities, that is, the so-called \"synthesis of rights and obligations\" by American anthropologist Linton; (5) It is closely related to the social role, and has evolved the \"status role theory\
