Socioeconomic Status

Factors such as labeling, economics, and hidden curriculums affect all children in education in a variety of ways that can have lasting impacts on an individual’s life. It is important to look at individual’s experiences and overall scores in order to make education more efficient for everyone. In order for education to be functional we must constantly identify its dysfunctions. Education is what allows people to improve their lives and society, and has personally done so for me. To better our society and children’s lives we must place importance on public education and prepare all types of individuals to become functioning members of

How can measure the different intelligence and levels of intelligences? The IQ (intelligence quotient) test is a standard test which is measuring human intelligence in different part. The IQ score shows the strengths and weaknesses of an individual in different parts. The first intelligence test was developed by Binet and Théophile Simon. It is used to make sure that education is suitable to children of different level of capability.

Education, occupation, and income all play an integral part in the make-up of an individuals combined socioeconomic status, better known as SES. It is considered to be a sociological measure of a person’s work experience and of an individual’s, or family’s, economic and social position (Baker 2014). Socioeconomic status plays a role in individuals transitions to employment, schooling, and social spheres (Scharoun-lee, et. al.,2011). However, in many cases SES plays an even profounder role in the make-up and the measure of an individual’s health outcomes.

In addition, it can help those of us who are already living within the middle-class identify the reoccurring patterns of poverty and what we can do to assist in the development from poverty to middle-class. As someone who grew up in a

This case study will explore the sociological factors that affected my experiences during childhood and while transitioning into young adulthood. Specific factors such as the effects of class, gender and historical events will be examined on how they can affect an individual’s transition from childhood into young adulthood. This case study will focus on macro-sociology approach and the life course approach. It will, therefore, look at the sociological conditions in relation to historical events and age and how this was experienced by me over time (Macionis and Plummer, 2012). The first factor to affect someone’s experience throughout their life course is social class.

Social comparison theory states that individuals desire to determine the accuracy of their beliefs and behavior. As stated by Festinger (1954), people will judge their behaviors and opinions by comparison to the behaviors and opinions of others. Furthermore, individuals are more likely to compare behaviors and opinions to those of individuals who are similar to themselves. The more different one is from another, the less likely it is that they will be influenced by each other. In the context of a social group, Festinger stated that the members of a group will do their best to make themselves as similar to each other as possible; for example, think of the stereotypical high school clique in which all members dress alike and have the same interests.

Activities- Most events and activities are set up for normal individuals; it’s very rare to find activities where a disabled person can participate. Question 3) What is happening as a result of their social exclusion? As previously mentioned those who are disabled are not very welcomed nowadays in the society as people tend to degrade them because of their disability. This causes them to be socially excluded yet it affects them in many ways as further explained below. Disabled people tend to struggle with self-hatred towards them and towards the society because the society doesn’t treat them normally neither does the society make them feel wanted or accepted.

Social constructivists focus on the social nature of the learning process, as well as the reality that is constructed as a result of social interactions. Several research studies have concluded that the teacher’s attitude plays an important part in an overall learning process (O’Bien, 2007). Each day teachers are engaged in social interactions inherent in instruction, and these interactions will affect the attitudes of teachers. Measuring these attitudes as they are created is one of the objectives of this study. Adherents of social constructivism feel most meaningful learning occurs when individuals are engaged in social activities with other human beings (McMahon, 1997 as cited by O’Bien, 2007).

“Social Class and College Readiness” shows the correlation between different social classes and how it affects how prepared students are for college. After the research was completed the unnamed authors came to the conclusion that if parents raise their children according to the “norms” of their social class, then it can have a direct link with how children think about their educational future. In “Educating the Hierarchs” Sacks has a similar approach to the research question, and shows how a family’s social class correlates with a student’s SAT scores, and these scores directly correlate with the level of education the students will receive. These authors show that a child’s social class will impact their standardized test scores, and their thoughts about their academic
