'Schemes are full of pregnant teenagers and unemployed,semi-literate thugs on benefits.They are all a bunch of wasters'
This is a sweeping statement that is true to an extent that they come from the same kind of community. However to say that these people are a bunch of wasters is a bit harsh. A lot of the time it is not the wasters' fault that they are in this situation.they could have care free parents or could have been brought up in a place with lota of peer pressure.High use of drugs could also be because of lack of other means of entertainment in their living area. this could be one of the results of youths running around the streets.Another reason could be that since there families did drugs and were pregnant at an early age the these are the footsteps to be following.the influence of siblings is also a problem, if peoples older siblings get into this kind of lives then they are more likely to do the same.This then leads on to unemployment which ends up in a circle that they find hard to get out of because they are hoocked on other problems which do not allow them to get out of ths awful situation.
The idea of semi literates are this idea that they are leaving school without an education this also has a major impact on how they become employed as they do not have the right qualifications to get out of their situation.

This is my achieved a status
An achieved status is something that we have achieved through decision making.Here is in my opinion some my achieved status
Exam results-Work hard to achieve grades
National titles-my choice to race and work towards achieving titles even if it doesn't always work.
Personal fitness-same as above,work with commitment.
Financial sum-achieved through inheriting.
Musical achievements-working hard
Horses achievements-working hard
this is what I think is ascribed
An ascribed status is a status that you are born with or one that you will automatically follow due to the society you live in.
Female-It is the name given to our gender that in thoery cannot be changed.However some may say that our gender is based on how we live our lives,eg someone could be very tomboyish and could choose to like more like a male when they are female.
White-It is the colour of our skin
Scottish-The Nationality we are born with but but this could be argued that it could be achieved as well as ascribed because one could choose to live by the culture of another country,eg celebrating occasions of another country.
Class- A position that people give you according to your background it can be changed by the grades that you get and the job you end up in,you can end up higher than what you were or lower in class.This could be based on your income and the people you are involved with.
School Pupil-A position that was given to me due to the society we live in.
Financial sum- Was given by family not earned but it could be earned depending on how well you do in Qualifications that enable this.
Norms are what we regard as normal in our society because of the way we have been brought up. eg One may regard going out drinking to get drunk as a norm due to the standards they live by.However someone of a higher class would go out for a sociable drink.This is because of the way they have been brought up and the reputation they have to keep up.
