The correct answer is social position.
Social position is the position of an individual in a given society or culture. Social position influences social status.
Social positions are established based on one person's:
- occupation ( doctor, lecturer, researcher, writer ),
- profession ( membership of organizations and associations ),
- family ( sibling, cousin of somebody etc. ),
- hobby ( membership of clubs and associations ).
Social positions can be visible (uniform-policeman ) or hidden (non-visible).
In order to obtain a certain position an individual has to have a career ( a sequence of positions ).
Social position determines the individual's place in the society. It also determines the individual's rights and duties associated with their specific place in the society.
