How are children from differing social classes socialized differently? How does this shape their habitus and their future life chances?
What will be an ideal response?
Children from working classes and lower-income families may have obedience to authority and staying out of trouble stressed, while upper-class families may stress creativity and independent thinking. Similarly, school experiences will likely differ in what is taught and what is expected of children. Children from wealthier families are much more likely to have a variety of enrichment experiences that include music and art and how to behave in and appreciate diverse settings. These differences can lead to different comfort levels and sense of belonging as adults, with children from wealthier families already more at home in the institutions of power and prestige that may benefit their advancement.
