Summary:As a bio-psycho-social being "within the mistery and revelation", as Lucian Blaga claimed, the man enters a multitude of relations diminishing implacably his solidarity. He occupies a position identifying him with the society itself, defines him in his relations with the others, but also in his own relation with the society as an individual. Objectively speaking, the relation between society and individual becomes a phenomenon within the status. Within the societal reality, the statuses group depending on different degrees of cohesion, arising groups (categories) of human individuals bearing similarities. The present study represents an extension of the idea of status as Bryan S. Turner explains, as well as the essential differences between the consensual perspective and the conflictual one in approaching the concept of status.
