Although family life has an important impact on children's life chances, the mechanisms through which parents transmit advantages are imperfectly understood. An ethnographic data set of white children and black children approximately 10 years old shows the effects of social class on interactions inside the home. Middle-class parents engage in concerted cultivation by attempting to foster children's talents through organized leisure activities and extensive reasoning. Working-class and poor parents engage in the accomplishment of natural growth, providing the conditions under which children can grow but leaving leisure activities to children themselves. These parents also use directives rather than reasoning. Middle-class children, both white and black, gain an emerging sense of entitlement from their family life. Race had much less impact than social class. Also, differences in a cultural logic of childrearing gave parents and their children differential resources to draw on in their interactions with professionals and other adults outside the home. Middle-class children gained individually insignificant but cumulatively important advantages. Working-class and poor children did not display the same sense of entitlement or advantages. Some areas of family life appeared exempt from the effects of social class, howeve
Just took Penn Foster test, and the answer is D. 30 and 45
The correct answer is the physical environment
There are several factors that contribute to change and innovation in a society: factors internal to the society itself or external factors of the environment that surrounds it. Nowadays, the extreme importance of the relationship between society and its environment has become very clear. The environment is not only a crucial source for the maintenance of society with its climatic and geographic characteristics in general, its natural wealth, its sources of energy, its flora and fauna, all functioning as a set of conditions in relation to which the society must adapt. In this process, society can interact with its environment in different ways and directions: either contributing to improve or to worsen and impair its living conditions. Changes in the environment end up forcing changes in society. Societies, throughout history, have needed to adjust to changes in the environment. This is an unquestionable adaptation process.
The environment to which a society must adapt also includes other societies with which it maintains contact. A major change in one tends to trigger a chain process with consequences for the others and forcing adjustments and innovations.
But there are other sources of change. The dynamics of forces within societies, which are part of the human condition itself, prevent society from remaining permanently stable. First, in the transmission of cultural heritage from one generation to another, changes of various types occur. As we saw earlier, individuals are not passive in forming habits, learning customs and receiving information as they grow and develop. Human beings are apparently, by their very nature, motivated to try new patterns of action. Motivation is often the simple curiosity that can be intensified by the cultural world. Or, the motivation may be simple material self-interest. Men seek to maximize their rewards, that is, to earn more and better as a result of their actions. In this way, experimentation and innovations are inevitable.
