Answer to Question 1

Middle-class parents follow an approach of concerted cultivation, actively fostering their children's talents and intervening on their behalf, thereby instilling a sense of entitlement. Working-class parents, by contrast, follow an approach of accomplishment of natural growth, caring for their children but leaving themto fend for themselves socially, thereby instilling a sense ofconstraint. The middle-class children's sense of entitlement will make it more likely that they push to succeedsocioeconomi cally when they are older, while the reverse is trueof the working-class children'ssense of constraint, making itmore likely that as they getolder the children will stay inthe class they were born into.The implication for class reproduction is this: Classis reproduced not only through the money you have but through the culture you practice.
