Question

The term hierarchy refers to
a. a situation in which higher species such as men will always be in control of lower species such as animals.
b. a condition in which the weak must die so the strong can survive.
c. a team in which everyone is equal and has to pull his or her own weight.
d. a power structure in which each member knows his or her own place.

Answer 1

The correct answer is d. a power structure in which each member knows his or her own place.

This does not necessarily mean that it is either a good or a bad thing. An example of positive hierarchy would be in a household where parents are above children and decide for them because the children are too small.
