Change the social status from one place to another place its called as Social Mobility.
A person becomes a minister from an ordinary shopkeeper, his status is also enhanced.
On the other hand if the minister losses his job and comes to his old shop, the status enjoyed by him as a minister is lost.

This status or class movement is called Social Mobility.
