Stratification and Change
Social Stratification and Community Change
A learner arrives at school already shaped by social class and family. This chapter studies that shaping: how communities rank themselves into classes, how class and family form a child’s outlook, and how the decline of the old family and community leaves the curriculum with a new job, building the shared understanding a complex society can no longer assume.
How communities rank themselves into upper, middle, and lower classes, and when learners themselves become aware of class
How social position shapes friends, work, beliefs, and upbringing, and how each class forms a personality pattern
How the family declined as a social unit, and what the close-knit rural family once did for a child’s character
The shift from a producing family to a consuming one, and what these changes mean for curriculum development
Why old common sense no longer resolves modern conflicts, and the curriculum’s role in building a new one
