Describe two "dominance hierarchies" that exists in the human world. How do people use dominance to stay at the top of this particular hierarchy? If you have a job, use it as an example, and describe all of the levels of the hierarchy at work.
Option 2: What is competence? Describe one "competence hierarchy" that exists in the human world. How do people use competence to climb up or stay at the top of this hierarchy?

Which type of hierarchy would you most like to be at the top of? Why?
