Explanation
An achieved status is one that a person attains through their own efforts or choices. Being a bank robber is an example of an achieved status because it results from specific actions taken by the individual. In contrast, statuses such as senior citizen, female gender, or Native American are ascribed statuses, assigned by birth or other factors beyond personal control.
