Re: Status Symbols in different Cultures
What is considered a status symbol will differ among countries and cultural regions, based on their economic and technological development. Highly valued status symbols may change over time. **For example, before the invention of the printing press, possession of a large collection of books was considered a status symbol. **After the advent of the printing press, books (and literacy) gradually became more common among average citizens, so the possession of books became less-rarefied as a status symbol. Another common status symbol of the European medieval past was heraldry, a display of one’s family name and history. In some past cultures of East Asia, pearls and jade were major status symbols, reserved exclusively for royalty.
The condition of one’s body can be a status symbol. In times past, when most workers did physical labor outdoors under the sun and often had little food, being pale and fat was a status symbol, indicating wealth and prosperity (through having more than enough food and not having to do manual labor). Now that workers usually do less-physical work indoors and find little time for exercise, being tanned and thin is often a status symbol in modern cultures. (Poor Babloo :cb:)
Ancient Central American Maya cultures artificially induced crosseyedness and flattened the foreheads of high-born infants as a permanent, lifetime sign of noble status.[SUP][3]](Status symbol - Wikipedia)[/SUP] In the 21st century, multiple piercings, tattoos, and other body modifications are highly valued among certain subcultures in Western societies. :bummer:
