Abstract
It has been argued that ascribed status has lesser importance in modern society. Belonging to a certain family does not guarantee that one will succeed. Instead the social status of a person is the result of merit. This is also in accordance with features of the post-modern society, where norms and roles are no longer so important and for this reason lessens the influence upbringing has on social status as well.
