At the same time, there is no question that s
14、ocial class is important factor in how children are raised and the kind of adults that children become. Regarding social class, sociologists have found that parents socialize their children into the behaviors and norms of their work worlds. Members of the working class are closely supervised and are
15、 expected to follow explicit rules at their jobs. If they do not follow the precise rules and do as they are told, they will not keep their jobs. Their experience influences how they deal with their children. As a result, their concern is less with their children“s motivations and more with their ch
16、ildren“s outward conformity. Thus they are more apt to use physical punishment in managing their children.
