A '''Hierarchy of Worth''' is any social or political organization that assigns individuals a position or grade, relative to those around them.

A '''Hierarchy of Worth''' occurs in social settings where individuals are ranked according to some externally applied criteria. For example, our school system imposes an "F" to "A" hierarchy of intellectual worthiness and superiority.
