           Different  cultures  organize "cast"   system  around
      different  means of differentiating who  will  play  roles
      which  are  "low-on-th-pecking-order"  and who  will  play
      roles   which  are  "high-on-the-pecking-order".      Most
      cultures  seem to agree that it is natural-and-normal that
      there "should" be such casts <==> "pecking-orders".  India
      in the past for many years had a rather well  "recognized"
      and  well "organized"  system by which to "order"  who had
      what "pecking-rights" as do most kinds of animals.
      
           The  rights and rites of "pecking-orders"  have  been
      organized around:
      
       1.  Birth-rights.
       2.  Inheritance-rules; e.g., through females or males.
       3.  Respect-for-elders.
       4.  Respect-for-youth.
       5.  Athletic-competitions.
       6.  Team-competition.
       7.  Individualistic-competitions.
       8.  Clan-identification.
       9.  Extended-family-structures.
      10.  Language-differentiations.
      11.  Religious-cults.
      12.  Trade-guilds.
      13.  Educational-disciplines.
      14.  Gender-traditions.
      15.  Sexual-dispositions.
      16.  Sexual-services, servants, and lords.
      17.  High/Low Church traditions.
      18.  Orthodox/Heretical Doctrines
      19.  Dominant/Submissive Leaders.
      20.  Physical/Psychological/Spiritual Leaders.
      21.  Issues of Health/Sickness.
      22.  Dress-codes.
      23.  Cosmetic-Beauty.
      24.  Body-Language-Standards.
      
           Rarely  is  a  culture  free of  all  forms  of  cast
      differentiations.  Cultural differences are more likely to
      be associated with the  means for identifying and labeling
      high-cast and low-cast people within the culture.    Under
      all  such  differentiations are issues of  domination  and
      submission;  who serves whom;  who takes advantage of whom
      in  terms of some system-of-classification  and  signs-of-
      vulnerability; assigned-labels.
