Explanation:

• Question 23: A master status is a social position that has special importance for social identity and often shapes a person's entire life. It can overshadow other statuses a person holds. For example, in some contexts, a person's race, gender, or disability might be a master status.
• Question 24: In her study, Jennifer Keys found that feelings are guided by “emotional scripts”. Emotional scripts are like cultural blueprints that tell people how they “should” feel in different situations. These scripts are influenced by culture, gender, social class, etc. For instance, in some cultures, it's more acceptable for men to show anger than sadness, which is an example of an emotional script at work.

Answer:

• Question 23: Master status
• Question 24: “emotional scripts”
