At the same time, there is no question that social class is important factor in how children are raised and the kind of adults that children become. Regarding social class, sociologists have found that parents socialize their chil
10、dren into the behaviors and norms of their work worlds. Members of the working class are closely supervised and are expected to follow explicit rules at their jobs. If they do not follow the precise rules and do as they are told, they will not keep their jobs. Their experience influences how they de
11、al with their children. As a result, their concern is less with their childrens motivations and more with their childrens outward conformity. Thus they are more apt to use physical punishment in managing their children. On the other hand, middle-class parents, who are expected to take more initiativ
12、e on the job, are more concerned that their children develop curiosity, self-expression, and self-control.

Alex said he had a wonderful book she might like, and that hed be happy to lend it to her. As he lived just above th
17、e cafe, he quickly ran up to get it. The book he handed to Emma just minutes later was Markings, a book by a former Secretary-General of the United Nations (UN).Emma had never read it, nor had she ever bought a copy, but when she opened it up, she was floored to see her own name and address inside t
