Ascribed statuses are the ones that we are born into or have no control over, such as our race, gender, or family background. Master statuses and achieved statuses are something we can work towards and choose, while inconsistent statuses are not a recognized concept in sociology. Prescribed statuses refer to roles that an individual is expected to conform to, but this is not necessarily something one cannot control or change.
