2. STATUS
A distinguished social position acquired in a society.
In the movie, the most apparent social role is the
status of Sheev Palpatine. He is appointed as
Supreme Chancellor of the Republic; arguably the
highest social position at the time.

3. ACHIEVED
STATUS
A position earned by an individual who has a
notable skill, talent, or ability.
The best example of this is the Jedi Order. Let’s take
Mace Windu for example... After a long training
period and facing the Jedi Trials, he is appointed to
serving on the Order. However, he acquired this
status because of his impeccable lightsaber skills
and teaching abilities. https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uac

4. ROLE CONFLICT
This occurs when attempting to satisfy the
requirements of one status causes difficulty
fulfilling a different status.
Chancellor Palpatine displays the vocabulary word
as well through his double identity as Chancellor of
the Republic and Emperor of the Galactic Empire. As
a attempts to fulfill both, he slips up periodically by
missing council meetings or placing his
responsibilities onto Anakin. All of which are a
result of having two roles.

5. SUBSISTENCE
STRATEGIES
A technique or strategy used by a society as a way
to provide for the people through advanced
technology.
This concept is connected in the movie when Obi
Wan tours the planet Kamino. After seeing the
inside of the factory, the Lama Su, the leader of
Kamino, has invented advanced technology in order
to benefit the memberS of Kamino.

6. MASTER
STATUS
A status that has the most profound effect on
shaping a person and defining their social identity.
The best example of this is Luke’s status as a
padawan. By having this ‘master status,’ it teaches
him an abundance of lessons and eventually shapes
him into a more mature person.
