Marginalisation In Education

Overall, in society's class lifestyle also affects how children are raised for example, a working class person is more likely to raise their child to be working class and middle class children are more likely to be raised to be middle class. For example, including being a doctor or even being a criminal the status, then determines a set of behaviors and expectations for the individuals. Different profession, those in the upper middle class are restricted to live by a means which is considered by all else to never lower their prestige to that of the commoners and middle class go forth and fulfill their ambition of entering a life style that is structured around them in their occupations.

Throughout time one of the most obvious class markers has been education and it still remains so. People who belong to the higher classes view education as a higher priority and have more access to the best school in the country. When stuck in lower classes people must attend schools where books, computers, and education are not found at the same level. An article in the Atantic Times mentions that “ Kids who belong to lower social classes fell behind children in the upper classes by about a year or so.” Today, that gap is close to four years.” For those in the upper class their kids are placed in an abundance of classes from an early age such as foreign language, art, and many sports. Children who are in lower classes have no way of getting a head start when compared to children in higher classes Sarah Garland also mentions how “ When children have plenty of time to build social skills and bigger vocabularies in short term reduce their chances of

Wealthier families lead their children to “learn a sense of ‘entitlement’”(Gladwell 105). Wealthier families are wealthier, they can do more for their child as far as money is concerned. Who we are can be based on where we’re from. Growing up with the same set of morals and same conditions as those around us can lead to a generalisation of us all. If your mother grew up with no strong parent figure, she could carry on the same neglect while raising you and so on.

Socioeconomic Status is where a particular person or group of people stand in regards to social class. The main measurement that determines one's socioeconomic status is level of education, occupation and income. Although it may not be considered a factor in child development, socioeconomic status can actually play a huge role in determining what kind of adolescent a child develops into. It can influence a child’s morals, self-esteem, grades and many more aspects of a child's life. Socioeconomic status can play a role in determining where a person resides, the occupation they end up getting, their education and their income as well. So, although one’s socioeconomic status is technically made up of these aspects, one can be born into a low socioeconomic status which could result in them continuing to have one throughout their life. It is a cycle that one must break in order to change the outcome. Low socioeconomic status can result in child poverty. Child poverty over the years has risen and fallen but has remained consistently apparent in America. Child poverty can have detrimental effects on developing children and adolescents. It may influence the way they are raised, taught, cared for and many more aspects of the child's life which are important for successful development. Low socioeconomic status can determine how well children and adolescents develop and the type of person they develop into, including

An individual’s set of social determinants strongly contributes to defining their class, and vice versa, class aids in determining what types of social determinants an individual will enjoy. Social determinants are the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age in. A person in a low social class would be expected to be born into a family with a low socio-economic status, live in a geographically disadvantaged

The social class one is born into, more often than not dictates the social class they will belong to as an adult. There have been studies done in regards to social mobility, which greatly supports the concept that social class further promotes inequality, for 40% of individuals, born into either the top or bottom as infants, will remain there throughout their adult life. The stagnant nature of economic mobility, is only further worsened by absolute mobility. Those who begin impoverished are disadvantaged from the start and even with an increase of income, they most likely will remain in their same social class, for most people with time have an increase in overall income, and yet

“From the surface one may look upon Australia as being the ‘lucky county’ however when explored deeper Kayleigh Richmond came to the conclusion that this so called ‘lucky country’ isn’t all that ‘lucky’ for marginalized groups in Australia, the literature of these marginalized groups in Australia certainly substantiates this point”.

Some parents do not understand that they won’t get everything they want in life and similarly, they should not be buying expensive items just to fit in with others. Also, having a low income means not getting what you want whenever you want it. For example, when you want the brand name shoes because everyone else has them, but you do not have enough money, you will look and feel like an outcaste because you don’t have the shoes that everyone in your friends circle has. This leads to social inequality, which then leads to the loss of connection between people in our community. Therefore, income inequality often leads to social

In chapter 13 of this book, Mclntyre states that Sociologist Scott Cummings and Del Tabel did a survey of children at school and asked them to explained their thoughts towards social stratification system. The children responded, “people are rich because they have the know-how and the opportunity, and to an extent most of them are wealthy because of some type of motivation that causes them not to settle at one step or one degree; they wanted higher heights.” (215) . When they were asked about why people were poor, they responded, “People are poor because they are not educated enough to know that there is something for them out there; that they can make money…they are ignorant and uneducated; a lot of them just don’t care …They are happy the

The generations are likely to continue their status because the children from the wealthy families will continue having opportunities that the poor cannot access simply because they are the inferior people in the society. This is due to the increased need for the society to eliminate inequality, various theorists and psychologists have been for the past years trying to explain how inequality is introduced in the society, its causes, effects as well as some of the measures that should be taken to eliminate inequality in the society.

There are two main concepts in the literatures of the sociology of youth, which linked risk and young people together. The first concept is ‘at-risk’ and the term is often used to identify or describe young people who, due to difficulties and disadvantaged situations,

On the other hand, the wealthy people are able to keep climbing the social ladder because they can afford to be successful, and in turn their children will also become successful due to their parents social status.

Social exclusion is a frequently discussed topic that not only haunts current generations, but also targets and preys on future generations to come. Social exclusion is defined as the marginalization of a group of people from an established social system, its rights, and its privileges as a result of belonging to a minority.
