The social status develops the social image that is visible to the other people in the community. For this reason, people often work on improving their overall image appearance in the interest of making a good impression in the society. The image appearance plays a significant role in the community acceptance (Cornwell & Hans, 2011). For example, the people at Spelhouse community often consider their physical appearance as they interact with other people within the community. The success of the people within the Spelhouse community is controlled by the physical appearance they portray. This defines their success within the community. People often dress to look good. The reason behind this is that they have an underlying desire to please others by looking good before their eyes.

Methodology
The research exercise was conducted using interview sessions and questionnaires. These are the most appropriate methods of gathering data from the respondents concerning the question under investigation. The respondents will be selected using a random sampling method. This method will ensure fairness in the selection process and ensure that the results produced by the study are unbiased. This is important because there is a need to produce a report that has credible results. This will ensure that the results are admissible in future times when needed. The names of the respondents will be pulled from the list of members possessed by the Spelhouse community. For this record, respondents will be selected at random. Interview sessions will be conducted on the randomly selected group of people (Chiou & Pan, 2008). The interview sessions will contain a series of questions that will be asked to the respondents, and their answers will be recorded on the question sheet. This will provide direct feedback on the response that will be given by the respondents in the interview sessions. Also, the interview sessions will be recorded using audio recording devices. The purpose of these recordings is to help in the analysis phase of the process. Their responses will be listened to make again any clarifications that may be needed. There may be some instances where the interviewer did not hear the response of the respondent clearly. During that, a scenario, the audio version of the response will be listened to ensure again that the statement in clarified.
The second tool that will be used in the data collection process is the use of questionnaires. The questionnaires will contain questions that are focused on collecting the relevant information about the research exercise. The questionnaire will be structured in a friendly manner that will make it easier for the respondents to understand its contents. The questionnaire will require the respondents to give out their personal information (Chan & Goldthorpe, 2007). This will keep the respondents at an anonymous level with the readers of the findings of the study. This will ensure that the responses are not altered in any way whatsoever. The questionnaires will be handed out on a random basis. The respondents will be given a period of up to fourteen days to feel the questionnaires. After this period has lapsed, the researcher will go back to collect the questionnaires once again and retain them for analysis purposes. The questionnaires will be collected and put through an analysis process to interpret the data into information that can be used to develop a research report. The questions used will contain multiple choices from which the respondents are expected to choose the most appropriate answer with reference to their perception. The respondents are encouraged to give the most accurate responses while answering the questions. This will increase the credibility of the results that are released from the research exercise (Song, 2011). Fair and consistent results will ensure that the results of the study are credible in nature.
Presentation
The data collected from the data collection exercise will be presented in the form of graphs and charts. They will represent the effects of social status success in the Spelhouse community. The presentation will be able to give adequate data about the effects and benefits of the social status classes within the community. The presentation will be designed into a colorful book report that will be attractive to the readers. The report will be published on the various platforms that are available platforms that are accessible to the readers. These publishing platforms include the magazines and newspapers that the community members have access to.
Discussion and Results
The results of the research exercise will explain that the social status of the community members will affect their success within the community. The respondents in the research exercise indicated that they took special caution when they went shopping for their most preferred attire and clothing. The dress code they go with is mainly focussed on the level of interaction they are most likely going to encounter at that particular moment. The people they are going to interact with on a particular day, determine their dressing. Dressing and outfit are a just sample of the things they have to go through when they are trying to make an impact in the society. Other more important factors include the level of education that they possess. People who are more learned often command over larger groups of people than those who are not as learned. Education is seen as the key to ensuring that information is passed down from one generation to another. People usually interact with people who are of the same education level. This ensures uniformity within the interaction circles. Respondents indicated that the financial status of an individual also plays a significant role ensuring that a certain social status is achieved. A large financial status helps people achieve certain statuses that through living large within the community. This sets a difference between the rich and those that are not rich (Chen, 2012). The social status success helps the community members achieve other levels of success in other fields as well. During the duration of the academic career at the institution, the social status undergoes various changes. During the first year of education, the social status is very low. However, as people progress to other academic years, the social status begins to grow. This is because the students are now becoming more conversant with the program and are becoming used to each other. This increases the level of interaction between the two people to ensure that friendship ties are increased further. As the years go by, social groups begin to form, which further distinguish the social statuses within the community.
