The section 'Education' offered a basic understanding of what socialization through education looks like and how social class and race intertwine with the idea that the school institution is a privilege to some, but oppresses others.This source will help me broaden my idea of socialization through social class, because although it talks about the different mindsets that are created based on socioeconomic status, it also extends to how someone's home life affects their enthusiasm to learn and how the school system ends up helping people who already have advantages to begin with, and harming the disadvantaged.

Since lower social class and minorities usually correlate, I wanted to find an idea of why and what perpetuates this cycle and how deeply rooted the mindsets of these lower class people stem from their environment and this article targets that directly. This article offers a new perspective that focuses on a code of the streets that has to do with violence, respect and self-image, it kind of is putting the blame on the people a part of the 'ghetto' community. It brings to light how security in tough neighborhoods is based solely on how other people see you and if you are physically and mentally able to protect that image that you have created. Overall, this source promotes that idea that families are perpetuating this 'might for right' mindset that doesn't encourage children to think of a brighter future, but teaches them how to react in the now, so they don't lose their lives or equally as important their respect. I will use this source to get a better idea of what the environment and what the community values affects the individual.

This source is trying to distinguish if there is a difference between education and socialization and how they intertwine and how we should cut the ties between what is a conditioned response that society instills and what is needed to be able to interact socially. I will use this to establish my boundaries of what situation is necessary socialization in order to function and other situations where we are abusing the power we have to morph the core beliefs of children.

h This source tries to show how social classes affect people in work and how this is an example of how society's social classes affect people's minutes of themselves or the direct affects of being a part of lower social classes. Upper class employs show a sense of respect from peers and usually think they have a good amount of creative opportunities. Upper class employees also had a lower degree of health problems which might correlate with the lower levels of stress and higher rates of overall happiness, due to their work environment. This shows how you think of yourself is based on what others think of you, and could provide a new look at what socialization, by social class, through education could harm people in ways that are not obvious.

Through this source the question over what a social class is remains a constant, but it also points out how it is not as easy to see what social class someone comes from, based on what they're wearing or what they have, anymore. But that is not to say social class is nonexistent, because social class and education are actually more tightly linked to each other than ever before and even though people think that you can still move up the social ladder with hard work, it most likely one will stay in the same social class they were born into. This provides new open-mindedness on how limiting social class is actually and I will use it to base my opinions or inferences of the reality of how big of a part social class plays in how you end up living your life and whether their can be a change that is more inclusive and doesn't only benefit the rich and white.
