This week’s readings are following the theme of the class, and its connection to forming a family and child rearing. There are three articles that discuss the way children are raised, the effect of marriage on the class and on the growing inequality as well as the pressure that people face due to instability in their jobs and economic life.

It is a fact that in the US, 50 percent of the wealth is controlled by 1% of the population. But is it really such an unfortunate reality that we would need a system other capitalism to stem the tide of upward movement of wealth distribution. In my view, what is wrong is not the 1 percent's hold on 50 percent of wealth but the resulting decline in middle class that is now a major problem for the US.

The Cadburys were an ideal example of how a middle class family could succeed during the industrial revolution. In Western England, the Cadbury family owned a small cloth and dry goods store, which flourished because of the industrial revolution. The Cadbury retail store ran by Richard and Elizabeth Cadbury, benefited greatly from the new sources of supply and expanding demand for cloth. This demand was derived from the industrial revolution making materials readily available to the public. The industrial revolution also brought more people into cities, resulting in more people able to buy these cheaper-newer items.

Today increasingly American are trying to get better jobs to have and give a better quality for them and their families. That is why poor people go to college or schools to get skills that qualify them to do so to improve their conditions of life. And then changing status socio-economic from poor to middle class. As indicated by the meanings of US social classes announced in 2014 the working-class wage run from 30,000 to 350,000 yearly being separated in lower, middle, and upper working class individually that relate to a 78.5 of the populace.

Back in the 1950’s and 60’s, when the American Dream was alive and well, a middle class, working family could afford a house, a vehicle, and send their children to college on a single income. Sadly, today, for the majority of Americans, the American Dream, is just a dream. It is an unattainable fantasy that is out of reach for the average American family. The old phrase of pulling up your boot straps and get to work can no longer harvest an income that can support oneself and by no means a family. This was all caused by lobbying of the elite one percent by paying politicians for tax breaks. For America to once again have a thriving middle class, we must revert back to the 90 percent marginal tax of the mid-20th century because tax cuts for the one top percent hinders economic growth, tax breaks causes public education along with higher education to suffer, and tax cuts and breaks also cut many government aids that many Americans rely upon.

Many middle class families realized that many workers had absolutely nothing and were sick from lack of food, warmth, and shelter. Louis Alcott’s “Little Women”, represented a middle class family giving away their Christmas breakfast because of neighbors that were starving and freezing. This recognizes the comfort that was provided in being a middle class, but did not have the luxuries of the wealthy. The middle class could purchase enough food for one meal but kept a tight budget(source 2). The middle class had exemplary jobs and were payed a comfortable sum of money, nevertheless, the poorest unskilled laborers had to work in repugnant

Moreover, in our interview, she described what her article The Normal American Family was about, and stated that, while conducting her researches, she became interested in the internalized racial oppression within families. This internalized racial oppression within families later became based on the “white middle-class family”, to which I like to refer to as the “modern American family ideology”. The white-class family was the ideology that would be seen on television shows such as The Brady Bunch, as mentioned by Professor Pyke. She addressed the television show, The Brady Bunch, as one of the white-middle class families that many second generation Asian American immigrant students would compare to their families, and question why not being the same. Korean and Vietnamese second generation children seem to have built an ideal American family based on what they see on television or other American family, and that is why they have created certain ideals and characteristics that their families should meet. “Many of the image of normal family life that respondents brought to their description came in the form of references to television families or the families of non-Asian friends” (Pyke, 247). Professor Pyke mentioned that students would see these white middle-class families, and ask themselves why their families could not be the same. Or question why their parents could not be affectionate, just like their friend’s parents. The truth is that their parents could not be

As I have already explained, the middle class is believed to be truly favoured by liberal economic reforms, thus permitting it to exercise a higher consumerism than the rest of the country. In this section, I will answer the question of how liberalization has shifted the consumption patterns of the middle class. This group is thought to attract multinationals and foreign investment, but the same way it lures interest from abroad, it is also seduced by new products and ways of consumption that were not possible some years ago.

My family is just a normal family in middle class. But, as I'm a foreigner, most colleges demand a lot of additional tuition.
