Discuss the different patterns of socialization among middle-class parents and working-class parents.
What will be an ideal response?
The middle-class parents who stress the values of self-control, curiosity, and consideration are cultivating capacities for self-direction and empathetic understanding of others in their children. The working-class parents who focus on obedience, neatness, and good manners are instilling behavioral conformity. The middle-class pattern--particularly in the emphasis laid on happiness, curiosity, and consideration--is oriented toward the internal dynamics of the person, both the child and others. The working-class pattern, on the other hand, assumes fixed external standards of behavior.
