When the TV viewer turns on his set,what sort of programs does he have to choose from? Youmight think there would be more programs devoted to entertainment than to anything else, but that'snot the case. In most countries, fewer than 20% of broadcasting hours are devoted to entertainment.U. S. figures are high--34.8%, and the funlgving Canadians are even higher with 44%. ExceptCanada and Italy, all countries give more broadcasting time to education than to either information(news, documentaries and so on)or entertainment programs. Of course, few educational broadcaststake place during peak viewing times. In Japan though, more than 60% of broadcasting time is takenup with education of one kind of another--just another example of the businesslike Japanese philoso-phy. In the U. K., the figure is 56.4%. The Italians have fewer educational programs than anyoneelse. They don't go in for entertainment either. Only about ten percent of viewing time is devoted todramas and serials, quiz shows, music, sports, etc. You will find more news information programs onItalian TV than anything else. That's understandable in a country experiencing social and politicalchanges. Italians rely on TV to tell them what's going on--and events are happening almost too fast tofollow.

There are no inevitable outcomes of social class in child rearing. At the same time, there is no question that social class is important factor in how children are raised and the kind of adults that children become. Regarding social class, sociologists have found that parents socialize their children into the behaviors and norms of their work worlds. Members of the working class are closely super-vised and are expected to follow explicit rules at their jobs. If they do not follow the precise rules and do as they are told, they will not keep their jobs. Their experience., influences how they deal with their children. As a result, their concern is less with their children's motivations and more with their children's outward conformity. Thus they are more apt to use physical punishment in managing their children. On the other hand, middle-class parents, who are expected to take more initiative on the job, are more concerned that their children develop curiosity, self-expression, and self-control. They are also more likely to withdraw privileges or affection than to use physical punishment.
