	The Medieval Social Hierarchy, Imagined and Real
		The social hierarchy was said to be "good" because "ordained by God" and, by analogy with the overarching hierarchy of the Created Universe with the all-powerful God in control.
		Similarly, all hierarchies are analogous to that of "Adam" and "Eve".
		And the overturning of any hierarchy, the upsetting of any order, could be seen as recapitulating, or repeating, reiterating, etc. in the present the Original Sin of Eve's yielding to the Serpent and "seducing" Adam to disobey God by eating the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.

		Social hierarchy, a multi-tiered pyramid-like social or functional structure having an apex as the centralization of power.
		Distribution of wealth is often used as a measure of the progressiveness and social justice of a society.
		Social status is recognized officially by notions of rank, religious title, or academic title, and informally by notions such as reputation and mind share.

	Social network - Simple English Wikipedia
		A community social network is the a pattern of relationships among a set of people and/or organizations in a community.
		Social networks are vulnerable to them, since the circumstances where help is required, like disasters, occur by surprise.
		A mosque, church or temple is almost always a center of a social network, and often that network has a name and an identity of its own that is not that of the religious organization.

	Hierarchy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first use of the word "hierarchy" cited by the Oxford English Dictionary was in 1380, when it was used in reference to the three orders of three angels as depicted by Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite.
		Most evolutionary biologists assert a hierarchy extending from the level of the specimen (an individual living organism -- say, a single newt), to the species of which it is a member (perhaps the Eastern Newt), outward to further successive levels of genus, family, order, class, phylum, and kingdom.
		This bias is an artifact of an aesthetic or pedagogical preference for hierarchy, and not necessarily an expression of objective observation.

	Social Hierarchy and the Production of Street Children in Indonesia
		We feel that the politicized traditions of social hierarchy as a glorification of elitist domination is the root cause of many modern social problems.
		We also feel that because social hierarchy is an ingrained part of public discourse, it has also become a part of the everyday construction of social and cultural identity.
		Social hierarchy, with its historic basis in feudalism, becomes translated into modern state political practices through the creation of the ‘family’ state.

	The Constitution of Status-- Part I
		In other words, a status hierarchy is sustained by a system of social meanings in which one group receives relatively positive associations and another correspondingly negative associations.
		In a hierarchy with many status groups, there can be many different ways of differentiating the various groups and their respective lifestyles, and hence the system of social meanings (and the results of changes in social meanings) can be quite complex.
		Groups lower in a status hierarchy may respond to their lower status by developing a compensatory sense of esteem in their own ways of living, condemning the lifestyles of higher status groups as immoral or inauthentic, or attempting to turn their lower status into a point of pride through irony.

	The Constitution of Status-- Part III
		Hierarchies of social status are often intertwined with and supported by distinctions of legal status.
		However, they are not currently status groups in an ongoing status hierarchy; and they are not groups who suffer overlapping and reinforcing forms of subordination and social disadvantage due to their place in that social hierarchy.
		This status hierarchy is unjust because it organizes social structure, distributes dignitary and material benefits, and shapes and justifies people's life chances through systematic privileging of things associated with being male over those associated with being female.

	Burkean Social Hierarchy and the Ironic Investment of Martin Luther King
		Now hierarchy has become a living social system in which masters assert their superiority, consumers seek the work of masters rather than apprentices, and apprentices strive to learn so that they may pass through the structure of social rituals that will see them arriving at the level of the masters.
		The speech's appeal to dominant American social hierarchies to interpret African American aspirations predestines the Pandora's Box of King's movement: the speech aspires to racial equality by exploiting all the progressive resources of American hierarchy, and demarcates its aspirations in the limits of that hierarchy.
		The term "social movement" is itself a metaphor which encompasses the dynamism that is a prerequisite for the rhetoric of social movements.

	social hierarchy
		The third distinct social class in the play, the fairies (the lovers and the rude mechanicals are the other two), are introduced at this point.
		These subtleties notwithstanding, it is true that in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries a man or woman was born into a family that inhabited one of several levels of society, and that people did not easily move from one class to another.
		Social conditioning tended to keep people in their places, and one aspect of the patriarchy that reinforced class boundaries was the paternalistic treatment of the lower classes by the upper.

	Social Bookmarking Tools (I): A General Review
		These would become the social link managers, with links not randomly discovered or crawled by robots and spiders, but registered, tagged and rated by users for their own benefit, and made available to other users [n9].
		Social bookmarking tools also share this characteristic: the more they are used, the more value accrues to the system itself and thereby to all who participate in it.
		As a simple demonstration of the way in which social bookmarking tools might benefit academic research, we show here how Connotea can be used by readers of this paper, and of its companion [4], to access the reference lists, to share other relevant links, and to trade comments on them and on the papers themselves.

	Social Dominance - Cambridge University Press
		Social dominance theory argues that the major forms of intergroup conflict, such as racism, classism and patriarchy, are all basically derived from the basic human predisposition to form and maintain hierarchical and group-based systems of social organization.
		In essence, social dominance theory presumes that, beneath major and sometimes profound difference between different human societies, there is also a basic grammar of social power shared by all societies in common.
		We use social dominance theory in an attempt to identify the elements of this grammar and to understand how these elements interact and reinforce each other to produce and maintain group-based social hierarchy.

		One definition of social capital is “the resources imbedded in social relations among people and organizations that facilitate cooperation and collaborations in communities.” Because it is an attribute of communities, it differs from social support, which is an individual attribute.
		Low levels of social capital have been associated with higher mortality rates. In areas with high income inequality, social trust is low, in part because, as Wilkinson notes, friendship and inequality are not compatible. Friendship includes the concepts of acceptance, appreciation, and reciprocity, while social hierarchy involves dominance and subordination, competition, and social comparison.
		Although social capital is generally considered a community asset, there are examples of cohesive groups with high amounts of social capital that use their cohesion to exclude or discriminate against others.

		Since all hierarchies are analogous to one another, it's easy to see how the heir to the throne of France could be called a "Dolphin." So, if you depict a Dolphin in a poem, it could be made to represent the heir to the throne.

		The psychology of gender is incomplete without the inclusion of the psychology of arbitrary-set hierarchy, specifically regarding invariant gender differences with respect to the predisposition to establish and maintain group-based social hierarchy.
		More broadly, social dominance theory suggests that arbitrary-set discrimination should be regarded as a form of intergroup conflict and a largely male-on-male project.

		These are thought of as being "dominance relationships." All the dominance relationships in a group make up a "hierarchy." The logical types of these dominance relationships can range from linear, to one in which each individual dominates an equal number of others.

	Explananda: Autonomy's (Constitutive?) Causes and Effects
		Marmot’s fundamental empirical finding is that there is a social gradient in health, that is, when you group people according to their places in social hierarchies, you find better health and greater longevity in each successively higher class.
		Income, heath-related behavior, and genes are all important determinants of health, but their effects are largely independent of the effect of your place in the social hierarchy and only partially explain the social gradient.
		If certain aspects of social hierarchies cause serious health problems, that is something we should be grateful to know.
