American Family and Class Dynamics
Scholars have study how social class, socioeconomic status, and class positioning influence family dynamics and parenting styles, including how their approaches to media use, media at home, consumption, and placement; as we;; as their approaches to schooling and their school-home relationships.

- Middle-class children learn a sense of “entitlement.” (104-105)
- division of the classes in America: into middle and working or poor
- parental education and occupation as much as income in identifying a family’s class

- Alters (2004):
Immigrant Family
Challenges, goals, mobility.
Brokering practices.
Marginality and disadvantage.
Lower status of immigrant. Lower position in society.
Segmented Assimilation and Acculturation
Assimilation to specific segments of the US society. Different acculturation styles and parent-children relationships.
Analysis and Findings
- Social class backgrounds frame and transform individual actions and process of assimilation.
- American culture individualism renders invisible the key role of institutions. System is not fair, and not neutral.
- Inequality is shaping the future, opportunities, and pathways since early age.
