Using Sennett and Cobb’s research, explain why working-class immigrant parents in the United States often defer their hopes for success onto their children—and also tend to teach them obedience rather than independence—and how these processes of
socialization relate to inequality.
Please provide the best answer for the statement.
1. Working-class immigrant parents often absorb the idea of the United States as a land of opportunity. When they do not succeed, rather than blaming the system for their struggles, they tend to blame themselves.
2. They then try to socialize their children to succeed in their stead, by offering themselves as a cautionary tale.
3. They teach obedience because obedience is what is required for success in working-class jobs.
4. This socialization actually prepares their children to follow their parents’ course of employment, reproducing inequality.
