How are hierarchies related to status? How does one assert one's status over others?

 

Hierarchies are related status because they show your position. The higher up you are on the hierarchy the more power you have. The lower you are in the hierarchy the less power you have making you lower in status. One may either use a person lower on the hierarchy for a slave or a servant. Also they may bully and or hurt others because they are higher on the hierarchy and they can. Also one may boss people around because they are trying to move themselves up in the ranks because they impress the other people.
