Answer to Question 1

Basically, there are three types of social mobility: structural, intergenerational, and exchange mobility.
(1 ) Structural mobility refers to a change in the structure of society that affects the social class of a number of people.
(2 ) Intergenerational mobility is the change that family members make in their social class from one generation to another.
(3 ) Exchange mobility occurs when large numbers of people move upward or downward on the social class ladder, but the result is that the class systems remain basically unchanged because the upward and downward movement of people is more or less balanced out.

Answer to Question 2

Lower-class parents focus on getting their children to follow rules and obey authority while middle-class parents focus on developing their child's creativity and leadership skills. Lower-class families are also likely to use physical punishment to discipline their children while middle-class families will rely more on verbal persuasion.
