Social Mobility

Please keep in mind when writing this paper, I am a female and I have three children. Any other questions, just ask.

” For this assignment, you will trace your  family’s history of social  mobility. Consider various types of social mobility, including  intergenerational mobility, intergenerational mobility, and status attainment. You should examine at least three generations of your family and think  about their achievements and ascriptions and whether people climbed upward,  slid downward, or remained the same. Be sure to think about race and gender and  their role in mobility and social status.  You should also make predictions about your own social mobility and your  children’s (real or imagined) future mobility. To complete this assignment, perform the following tasks: Describe your family’s history of social mobility  through at least three generations. Types of social mobility to discuss include  intergenerational mobility, intergenerational mobility, and status attainment.  Explain the role of race and gender in the  discussion on mobility and social status. Explore and then explain why each generation  achieved different levels of social mobility. Predict your own social mobility and if you have  children, their mobility.
