SOCI 101 Lecture Notes - Lecture 19: Hidden Curriculum, Parenting Styles, Social Influence
Document Summary
Focus on providing necessities of natural growth and less closely involved in the details of their kids lives. Poor and working class parenting practices and family life. Lots of leisure time that is unstructured and autonomous from adults. Modelling of deference, powerlessness, and frustration in the face of frustration. Development of skills and dispositions that are recognized and rewarded. Structured leisure time as training and development of cultural capital. Broader horizons, white collar skills, and middle class schedule. Confidence and sense of entitlement in interacting with institutions. Increased feeling of constraint and distrust within institutions. Lack of the right kind of cultural capital to move confidently through institutions. More freedom and creativity with own free time. Stressful hectic schedule not as much freedom, relaxation and ability to structure own time. Children are less willing and able to follow directives of authority figures. Not natural or superior form of parenting but the one that is currently certified by professionals.
