In the context of social mobility, how does ascribed status differ from achieved status in relation to cultural context?

Ascribed status refers to a social position that a person is born into or assigned without regard to their abilities or efforts, such as being born into a wealthy family or a specific ethnic group. In contrast, achieved status is a social position that a person attains through their own actions, efforts, or choices, like earning a college degree or becoming a skilled professional. The cultural context plays a significant role in how these statuses are perceived; for example, in some cultures, family background (ascribed status) may hold more importance than personal achievements (achieved status). This means that in those cultures, people may be judged more by their family name than by their individual accomplishments. An example is a person born into a famous family who might have advantages in society simply due to their background, even if they don’t work as hard as someone from a less prominent family who achieves success through dedication.
