In my country, Ukraine, people tend to believe that their status is supported by material things such as flats, cars, and expensive clothes. So people normally believe that the level of their lives, I mean the material level, determines how they are accepted by others. To my mind, a person's status is determined by their mental and professional level. I believe that the higher a person is professionally, the less he or she wants to show and display material things. So people have different opinions on their status, but mostly they present it with material things.
