Essay Topics

1.

Based on the evidence provided in the study, which parenting style (concerted cultivation vs. accomplishment of natural growth) is more effective or beneficial for children, and why?

2.

Lareau’s study examines the differences in daily family life between middle- and working-class families. How do these differences affect the future trajectory of children in each class?
