I am able to comprehend this as a norm because the government only started to worry as people began to rebel and ask for the truth. A huge stereotype that was used in the show…

Technology, and media specifically, can distort what we see as reality. The news, television programs and articles make our society think outside their own values.

value that has stood the test of time, is an unconditional love for the youth. Although I’ve yet to have kids of my own, I have experienced firsthand the triumphs, and struggles that my parents endured to raise me. Throughout Lareau’s work in Concerted Cultivation and the Accomplishment of Natural Growth, she touches on two parenting styles that are drastically different from one another.
