What is Role?
{{for|role in the sense of the performing arts|Title role}} A '''role''' (sometimes spelled '''rôle''') or a '''social role''' can be described as an expected [[behaviour]] of an individual. More precisely one could say it is a set of connected [[behaviour]]s, [[rights]] and duties that a person has to follow in a social situation. It depends on [[social status]]. ''Role confusion'' is a situation where an individual has trouble to decide which role he/she should play. For example, one could be a [[student]] who would attend a meeting of a particular recreational interest and find her [[teacher]] there. They would be in conflict between behaving as a student and as an enthusiast who shares the same interest as the teacher. {{science-stub}} [[Category:Sociology]]
