Talk:Social position

Definitions need to be cited
From : "It is important to note that there is considerable disagreement among social scientists among social scientists about the definitions of the related concepts of social position, social status, and social role." For example, our article has the following statement: "One can have several social positions, but only one social status" which is clearly a contradiction of the concept of Mertonian status set, or the definition of status in this sociology textbook: "Each person occupies many statuses". --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 04:02, 16 April 2014 (UTC)


 * The Status/Role distinction draws specifically on Ralph Linton's formulation of those concepts - I dont know of any major disagreement on this since Linton defined the concepts clearly. Social Position is a more general concept and is probably used in many different definitions (e.g. Bourdieu's definition of a social position it as a position in a field of practice that regulates the flow of symbolic capital).User:Maunus ·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 19:47, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
