PRESTIGE

1 Prestige refers to a person’s social standing--the level of respect that other people are willing to show. A person with high prestige is honored or esteemed by other people, while a person with low prestige is disrespected or marginalized. Prestige is a valued resource for people at all levels of a society, and this can be seen among inner-city youth, where to disrespect or "diss" someone has negative consequences. Exactly what qualities are respected will vary from one society to another.
2 In the United States, the top-status occupations are the professions--physicians, lawyers, professors, and clergy--requiring many years of education and training. At the other end of the hierarchy, the lowest prestige is associated with occupations requiring littie formal education--for example, bus drivers, sanitation workers, and janitors. Prestige is linked to income, but there are exceptions, such as college professors
