I agree with Lareau 's case about the parenting styles have an impact on how families and children interact with larger society. Lareau 's argument on how parenting and childhood vary by social class is strong because she explores many different families…

is built on the exploitation of others which is generally a more socialist view. The stanza continues with speaking of (what would be considered by a Marxist) prizes, such as 'marble founts ' and 'orange-mounts ' things at the time only the upper class could afford.
