This means that the family will not be able to afford the basic needs which may cause more stress for the parents as they are struggling to raise the children. For the children they won’t be able to afford basic school uniform or the latest gear. They might also be receiving a poor education as they are living in a poorer area than most.

The Gallagher family in “Shameless” is a good example of this because they are very poor and most of the siblings end up dropping out of high school or not amounting to much within their lives.

They both can’t ever scrounge together enough money to live their dream, so they stay poor

If a woman has a child, this takes her away from work and thus affects her mobility to move up. Another example is the lack of mobility for blacks due to their life circumstances. “Blacks themselves feel that their path to occupational attainment is made more difficult by the lack of decent available jobs for which they are qualified, the concentrated poverty of their neighborhoods, and their lack of social contacts in the inner city” (Hurst, Pg. 347, 2013). Lastly, the text points out how most individuals who are born poor, stay poor.

Alfred alder’s birth order has the object of much criticism over the years with arguments such as he did not take social class, age and gender into his theory, while all this is true, one must consider that research for the birth order theory was conducted on one group of people from a particular social class and cultural background.

From research gathered on birth order and personal interpretation, it is in my view that
