One Way to Understand How We Have Come to the Point

One way to understand how we have come to the point where we accept a society with so many socialization problems is with a model developed by Mead, in her book Culture and Commitment: A Study of the Generation Gap. In it, Mead postulated a theory of intergenerational relations that reflects three stages of commitment between parents and children. The three stages are:

A) dependence, discipline, independence
B) postfigurative, cofigurative, prefigurative
C) belief, transformation, transitional
D) formation, alienation, transitional
E) dependence, independence, interdependence
