oppositional culture  

Definición

  • Oppositional culture theory suggests that certain social groups achieve lower levels of academic achievement because of their collective opposition toward mainstream values and behaviors. Proponents of this theory perceive it as an important contribution to understanding one means by which social reproduction occurs (i.e., children of low-status parents being more likely to have a low social status as adults).
