Answer 1

1 Yes.The place from where you come from and where you grow up,how much your parents earn,plays a major role in determining where you will end up later in life.if it is a culture of poverty ,poor would be content with economic status because it is the norm.But ,poor demonstrate the ability to move out of poverty when economic opportunities improve.

2 The higher income people should understand that the values and circumstances dont differ if the satisfaction being deferred is equally important to poor and non poor.There is equal opportunity to defer the satisfaction .The poor and non-poor suffer equally from deferment.Probability of obtaining gratification at the end of the defermed period is equal for both groups.if any of these are violated ,then observable differences in behavioural outcomes are due to differences in situations.

3 The most common misconception is that the poor live off government welfare. But the truth is under the rules of public assistance ,people and families recieving assistance are required to work.

4 Median income for a society is the midpoint of all household incomes:middle class considered bunched around the media should be on income ,lower class is under the median and upper class is above median.Occupational prestige is subjective evaluation given to jobs;determined by ratings showing how people percieve the worth of different occupations.Educational attainment :is the total years of formal education ;more years means more likely a person has a higher class status.good indicators because they can be measured,everyone has them,they triangulate.

5 Classism should be outlawed to improve the career chances of talented people from less-priveleged backgrounds.The government should introduce laws to eradicate class discrimination. Thid their chancess can be done by providing support to people to maximise chances by giving support to parents and chldren in the early yeatrs ,support during the school years and creating opportunities to make sure that new chances are created to pull the disadvantaged up into a poition where they are able to fulfill their potential.

Answer 2

** As we are middle class family there is also inequality..My parents promote concerted cultivation..Our parents like to bring our talents,opinion and skills by enrolling in organised activities..As we are African American middle class family we worried about racial insensitivity at schools and college..But our parents tried to promote a positive racial identity to us..Our parents include us in providing intimate details of daily life and future,they class teach us various class of family which involved in discrimination..our parents gave us good educational opportunities which can remove our weak socio economic background.
** Families with higher income can achieve thing more easily,they can live healthy lives with their well socio economic background..Conversely job insecurity, classism, low wages and lack of asset associated with less education it can make their family more vulnerable in hard times it leads to poor nutrition,unstable housing,inadequate medical needs..Race more influence with socio economic factors..Higher income population always look low income population as they are lazy,and less educated..
**each misconception tells about prevalence level of incorrectness and its instrumentality against poor..Classism is when someone is treated differently whether better or worse due to their class..common misconception about classism is inequality,racism,race,poor education., poor people are unmotivated and have weak work ethics,poor parents not involved their children in education because they do not know the value of education..
** The classism effects by each individual have negative norms and damaging impacts of classism in area where employment,education,housing and all political and economical power..lower-class always excluded from public policy and their public needs not met..Classism affects the society that we live by lowself-esteem,discouragement,low expectations and ignorance,lot of negative stereotypes included in this oppression cycle..
** sociologist refer to whose who do not discriminating as the dominant group..minority group are often marginalized..they confined to unimportant or powerless in the society..We can list the classism as per discrimination with age,Disability,compensation,harassment ,pregnancy,race,religion,retaliation and sex ..So that government can help each discrimination issues with special priority..
