Furstenberg analyzes the seemingly unnoticed socially stratified society in modern day America.

His analysis is centered on the stages of a child’s development from prenatal stage to childhood and ultimately to early adulthood and the different experiences that children from the two family categories have which ultimately determine their position in the social ladder.

Education in colleges has become quite expensive in recent years. The federal government has provided loans to students to finance their college education. While the intention was to reduce the burden on the students and their families to enable them achieve their dreams but by no means least, at last, the whole system has turned out to increase the burden on the students and their families. This has left the students in a situation whereby they have been forced to recall their education or seek other methods by which they can fund their education. The reasons behind these predicaments have ...
