Difficult when compared to mobility but this is strictly what it sounds like reproduction of SES

Screw the rich people! I love graffiti!!

[Waterboy]

wow you are saying that the education system looks down on vandalism??? how could they!

[mariep]

where does this theory come from? what are your sources?

[derekjoel]

Good presentation on the theory (point of view). However, it lacks substantial evidence. Most of his "evidence" is anecdotal (story-telling) and arbitrary. Other ways of looking at these anecdotes are expressed. For example, are we talking about inequality of outcome, or inequality of opportunity? These are important distinctions. Does this series cover these?

[solomonchan]

What are the strengths and weaknesses with this theory?

[keresatasisa]

1. it is a nice presentation, let me ask you one question. How does folklore reproduces folk groups?
2. Which folk group dominates in the performance and transmission of folklore in culture? Why?

[humblegiant]

Who is the speaker? i would like to credit his name in an essay of mine.

There are countless studies that suggest the majority of the millionaires (net-worth of a million) in the country have been brought up from families of lower income. Millionaire-Next Door explains this phenomenon and explains the different studies on this in regards to a wide range of ethnic groups. Why is it that Rich-Dad-Poor-Dad is so popular.

But upper-class culture (Mozart, Shakespeare, Dostoevsky, etc.) is objectively better than lower-class culture. I very much disagree with this video.

Also, upper-class culture--high culture, so to speak--is accessible to everyone if they make the effort to go after it, learn and grow as an individual.
