85-728: On the Feast of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary , November 21, 1855, while praying before an icon of Our Lady of Czestochowa , Angela Truszkowska and her cousins dedicated themselves to do the will of Jesus Christ in all things. Hereafter this was recorded as the official founding day of the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Felix of Cantalice. People began calling them "Sisters of St. Felix", in reference to

170-632: A greater double in 1597. The feast also continued as a memorial in the Roman calendar of 1969. The Eastern Orthodox Church celebrates it on November 21 as one of its twelve Great Feasts . For those churches which follow the Julian calendar , November 21 falls on December 4 of the modern Gregorian calendar . In the Orthodox Church the feast always falls during the Nativity Fast , and on

255-429: A better understanding of the school system which causes them to be less deferential to teachers and school authorities. Research also shows that well-educated black parents are less able to transmit human capital to their children when compared to their white counterparts, due to a legacy of racism and discrimination. The term "social gradient" in health refers to the idea that the inequalities in health are connected to

340-653: A day of prayer for cloistered religious "totally dedicated to God in prayer, silence, and concealment". During the World Youth Day in July 2016, Pope Francis paid a private morning visit to the Convent of the Sisters of the Presentation (lat. Congregatio Virginum a Praesentatione Beatae Mariae Virginis ), founded in 1627 in Kraków as the first Polish active Religious institute . St. Peter's Basilica contains

425-421: A given society. This movement occurs between layers or tiers in an open system of social stratification . Open stratification systems are those in which at least some value is given to achieved status characteristics in a society. The movement can be in a downward or upward direction. Markers for social mobility such as education and class, are used to predict, discuss and learn more about an individual or

510-676: A greater influence. A study performed on the Brazilian population found that racial inequality was only present for those who did not belong to the high-class status. Meaning race affects an individual's chances at upward mobility if they do not begin at the upper-class population. Another theory concerning race and mobility is, as time progresses, racial inequality will be replaced by class inequality. However, other research has found that minorities, particularly African Americans, are still being policed and observed more at their jobs than their white counterparts. The constant policing has often led to

595-498: A group's mobility in society. Mobility is most often quantitatively measured in terms of change in economic mobility such as changes in income or wealth . Occupation is another measure used in researching mobility which usually involves both quantitative and qualitative analysis of data, but other studies may concentrate on social class. Mobility may be intragenerational , within the same generation or intergenerational , between different generations. Intragenerational mobility

680-399: A higher status in society, such as education , skills, or any other form of knowledge. Usually, people with all three types of capital have a high status in society. Bourdieu found that the culture of the upper social class is oriented more toward formal reasoning and abstract thought. The lower social class is geared more towards matters of facts and the necessities of life. He also found that

765-423: A lacking in the cultural resources of cultural capital, social capital and economic capital, yet inconsistencies persist even when these variables are accounted for. "Once admitted to institutions of higher education, African Americans and Latinos continued to underperform relative to their white and Asian counterparts, earning lower grades, progressing at a slower rate and dropping out at higher rates. More disturbing

850-433: A long period of time, this can lead to the gentrification of a community. Outside of mixed housing, individuals with a low socioeconomic status consider relationships to be more salient than the type of neighborhood they live to their prospects of moving up the social ladder. This is because their income is often not enough to cover their monthly expenses including rent. The strong relationships they have with others offers

935-411: A person in a certain social category: economic capital ; social capital ; and cultural capital . Economic capital includes economic resources such as cash , credit , and other material assets . Social capital includes resources one achieves based on group membership, networks of influence, relationships and support from other people. Cultural capital is any advantage a person has that gives them

1020-492: A person's progress in the areas of education , health, housing, income, job opportunities and other factors and compares it to some starting point, usually the previous generation. As technological advancements and economic development increase so do income levels and the conditions in which most people live. In absolute terms, people around the world, on average, are living better today than yesterday and in that sense, have experienced absolute mobility. Relative mobility looks at

1105-500: A relationship between high social inequality and low social mobility. Of the eight countries studied—Canada, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Germany, the UK and the US, the US had both the highest economic inequality and lowest economic mobility. In this and other studies, the US had very low mobility at the lowest rungs of the socioeconomic ladder, with mobility increasing slightly as one goes up

1190-766: A religious institute of Roman Catholic women, was founded in Cork , Ireland, by Honora (Nano) Nagle in 1775. The congregation of the Sisters of the Presentation of Mary , dedicated to the education of youth, was founded November 21, 1796, in Thueyts , France, by Anne-Marie Rivier . The Sisters of Mary of the Presentation is a Catholic religious institute founded in 1828 in Broons , France, known for schools and hospitals in Europe, Africa, and North America. Western depictions of

1275-566: A similar phenomena was observed in Los Angeles, California as well as in New York City. Los Angeles Senior High School (inner city) observed a graduation rate of 58% and San Marino High School (suburb) observed a graduation rate of 96%. New York City Geographic District Number Two (inner city) observed a graduation rate of 69% and Westchester School District (suburb) observed a graduation rate of 85%. These patterns were observed across

1360-957: A veil. The Felician Sisters have always sought to harmonize a deep spiritual and community life with dedication to diverse acts of mercy . As of 2014, there were 1,800 professed members of the Felician Sisters, with about 700 in the North American Province. They remain active in education, operating, among other facilities, the St. Mary Child Care Center in Livonia, Michigan ; Immaculate Conception High School , founded in 1915 in Lodi, New Jersey; and Villa Maria College in Buffalo, New York. Madonna University in Livonia, Michigan

1445-451: Is human capital . This form of capital, identified by social scientists only in recent years, has to do with the education and life preparation of children. "Human capital refers to the skills, abilities and knowledge possessed by specific individuals". This allows college-educated parents who have large amounts of human capital to invest in their children in certain ways to maximize future success—from reading to them at night to possessing

1530-634: Is accused of being too broad and having no action plan. While it is generally accepted that some level of mobility in society is desirable, there is no consensus agreement upon "how much" social mobility is good for or bad for a society. There is no international benchmark of social mobility, though one can compare measures of mobility across regions or countries or within a given area over time. While cross-cultural studies comparing differing types of economies are possible, comparing economies of similar type usually yields more comparable data. Such comparisons typically look at intergenerational mobility, examining

1615-399: Is also an idea of stickiness concerning mobility. This is when an individual is no longer experiencing relative mobility and it occurs mostly at the ends. At the bottom end of the socioeconomic ladder, parents cannot provide their children with the necessary resources or opportunity to enhance their lives. As a result, they remain on the same ladder rung as their parents. On the opposite side of

1700-591: Is associated with an event recounted not in the New Testament , but in the apocryphal Protoevangelium of James . According to that text, Mary 's parents, Joachim and Anne , who had been childless, received a heavenly message that they would have a child. In thanksgiving for the gift of their daughter, they brought her, when still a child, to the Temple in Jerusalem to consecrate her to God. Later versions of

1785-667: Is because it indicates access to material goods, educational opportunities, healthy environments, and economic growth. In Scotland, a long range study examined individuals in childhood and mid-adulthood. Most Scottish children born in 1921 participated in the Scottish Mental Survey 1932, conducted by the Scottish Council for Research in Education (SCRE) It obtained the data of psychometric intelligence of Scottish pupils. The number of children who took

1870-685: Is clear, particularly in the United States, as shown by the work of Thomas Piketty and others. Commentators such as Martin Wolf emphasize the importance of economics. They warn that such trends increase resentment and make people susceptible to populist rhetoric. Evidence for this is mixed. At the macro level, political scientists report that xenophobia, anti-immigrant ideas, and resentment towards out-groups tend to be higher during difficult economic times. Economic crises have been associated with gains by far-right political parties. However, there

1955-554: Is employed. While, the social causation hypothesis is supported when looking at health and socioeconomic status relationship through an education and income lenses. The systems of stratification that govern societies hinder or allow social mobility. Education can be a tool used by individuals to move from one stratum to another in stratified societies. Higher education policies have worked to establish and reinforce stratification. Greater gaps in education quality and investment in students among elite and standard universities account for

2040-533: Is less frequent, representing "rags to riches" cases in terms of upward mobility. Intergenerational upward mobility is more common where children or grandchildren are in economic circumstances better than those of their parents or grandparents. In the US, this type of mobility is described as one of the fundamental features of the " American Dream " even though there is less such mobility than almost all other OECD countries. Mobility can also be defined in terms of relative or absolute mobility. Absolute mobility looks at

2125-406: Is little evidence at the micro- or individual level to link individual economic grievances and populist support. Populist politicians tend to put pressure on central bank independence . Social status attainment and therefore social mobility in adulthood are of interest to psychologists, sociologists, political scientists, economists, epidemiologists and many more. The reason behind the interest

2210-472: Is much 'stickier' than most Americans assume. Some researchers claim that social mobility is actually declining." A 2006 German study corroborates these results. In spite of this low social mobility, in 2008, Americans had the highest belief in meritocracy among middle- and high-income countries. A 2014 study of social mobility among the French corporate class found that social class influences who reaches

2295-402: Is seen in education, particularly in high school drop-outs. Low income status students who no longer see value in investing in their education, after continuously failing to upgrade their social status. Race as an influencer on social mobility stems from colonial times. There has been discussion as to whether race can still hinder an individual's chances at upward mobility or whether class has

2380-450: Is used primarily by economists to evaluate income mobility. Conversely, social mobility is used by sociologists to evaluate primarily class mobility. How strongly economic and social mobility are related depends on the strength of the intergenerational relationship between class and income of parents and kids, and "the covariance between parents' and children's class position". Economic and social mobility can also be thought of as following

2465-670: The Cappella della Presentazione (Presentation Chapel); the altar is dedicated to St. Pius X . The Presentation of the Virgin Mary Orthodox Monastery was located in Marshfield, Missouri , before the nuns relocated to Holy Archangel Michael and All Angels Skete in Weatherby, Missouri. The Presentation Sisters , also known as the Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary (PBVM for short),

2550-596: The Great Gatsby curve . This curve demonstrates that high levels of economic inequality fosters low rates of relative social mobility. The culprit behind this model is the Economic Despair idea, which states that as the gap between the bottom and middle of income distribution increases, those who are at the bottom are less likely to invest in their human capital, as they lose faith in their ability and fair chance to experience upward mobility. An example of this

2635-492: The prophet Samuel , whose mother Hannah , like Anne, was also thought to be barren, and who offered her child as a gift to God at Shiloh . Mary remained in the Temple until her twelfth year, at which point Joseph was assigned to be her guardian. According to Coptic tradition , her father Joachim died when Mary was six years old and her mother when Mary was eight. "This story is a legend with no foundation in history and

This remains a discipline in the Kraków , Przemyśl and Warsaw provinces in Poland, and a treasured tradition in

The feast was included in the Roman Missal in 1472, but was suppressed by Pope Pius V in 1568. As a result, it did not appear in the Tridentine calendar . Pope Sixtus V reintroduced it into the Roman calendar in 1585. Pope Clement VIII made this feast

2890-544: The North American Province has a Felician Volunteers in Mission (VIM) program which offers both short and long-term service opportunities to lay men and women interested in partnering with the Felician Sisters to serve, with compassion, mercy and joy, the disadvantaged and underserved. In North America, the Felician Sisters have ministered primarily to Polish Americans since their arrival from Poland in 1874. The sisters provided social mobility for young Polish women. Although

2975-498: The Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Temple is principally based on the Protoevangelium of James , which has been dated by historians prior to the year 200 AD. The story relates that in thanksgiving for the birth of their daughter Mary, Joachim and Anne decide to consecrate her to God, and bring her, at the age of three years, to the temple in Jerusalem. Mary's presentation in the temple draws parallels to that of

3060-493: The Virgin , although it is not usually one of the scenes shown in a Book of Hours . One of the most important illustrations of this event is Pietro Testa 's famous painting. Social mobility Social mobility is the movement of individuals, families, households or other categories of people within or between social strata in a society. It is a change in social status relative to one's current social location within

3145-491: The capacity for individuals to experience social mobility. There is some debate regarding how important educational attainment is for social mobility. A substantial literature argues that there is a direct effect of social origins (DESO) which cannot be explained by educational attainment. Other evidence suggests that, using a sufficiently fine-grained measure of educational attainment, taking on board such factors as university status and field of study, education fully mediates

3230-526: The classroom environment is in contrast with the natural growth approach to childrearing. In this approach, which is more common amongst working-class families, parents do not focus on developing the special talents of their individual children, and they speak to their children in directives. Due to this, it is rarer for a child raised in this manner to question or challenge adults and conflict arises between childrearing practices at home and school. Children raised in this manner are less inclined to participate in

3315-485: The classroom setting and are less likely to go out of their way to positively interact with teachers and form relationships. However, the greater freedom of working-class children gives them a broader range of local playmates, closer relationships with cousins and extended family, less sibling rivalry, fewer complaints to their parents of being bored, and fewer parent-child arguments. In the United States, links between minority underperformance in schools have been made with

Feast of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary The Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary , known in the East as The Entry of the Most Holy Theotokos into the Temple , is a liturgical feast celebrated on November 21 by the Catholic , Eastern Orthodox , and some Anglo-Catholic Churches. The feast

3485-428: The country when assessing the differences between inner city graduation rates and suburban graduation rates. The economic grievance thesis argues that economic factors, such as deindustrialisation , economic liberalisation , and deregulation , are causing the formation of a 'left-behind' precariat with low job security , high inequality , and wage stagnation , who then support populism. Some theories only focus on

3570-585: The daughter will move away with her husband. The son will bring an income while the daughter might require a dowry to get married. When women enter the workforce, they are highly unlikely to earn the same pay as their male counterparts. Women can even differ in pay among each other due to race. To combat these gender disparities , the UN has made it one of their goals on the Millennium Development Goals reduce gender inequality . This goal

3655-649: The day of the feast the fasting rules are lessened somewhat so that fish, wine, and oil may be eaten. For the Roman Catholic Church , on the day of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, "we celebrate that dedication of herself which Mary made to God from her very childhood under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit who filled her with grace ... ." In the 1974 encyclical Marialis Cultus , Pope Paul VI wrote that "despite its apocryphal content, it presents lofty and exemplary values and carries on

3740-407: The early 1980s, over this same period, the graduation rate increased by almost 20 percentage points for the wealthiest households. Average family income, and social status, have both seen a decrease for the bottom third of all children between 1975 and 2011. The 5th percentile of children and their families have seen up to a 60% decrease in average family income. The wealth gap between the rich and

3825-509: The educational opportunities and outcomes. In other words, social class and a family's socioeconomic status directly affect a child's chances for obtaining a quality education and succeeding in life. By age five, there are significant developmental differences between low, middle, and upper class children's cognitive and noncognitive skills. Among older children, evidence suggests that the gap between high- and low-income primary- and secondary-school students has increased by almost 40 percent over

3910-474: The effect of economic crises , or inequality. Another objection for economic reasons is due to the globalization that is taking place in the world today. In addition to criticism of the widening inequality caused by the elite, the widening inequality among the general public caused by the influx of immigrants and other factors due to globalization is also a target of populist criticism. The evidence of increasing economic disparity and volatility of family incomes

3995-471: The effects that the common parenting style of the lower and working-class have on their outlook on and success in education. These differing dimensions of social mobility can be classified in terms of differing types of capital that contribute to changes in mobility. Cultural capital , a term first coined by French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu distinguishes between the economic and cultural aspects of class. Bourdieu described three types of capital that place

4080-537: The environment in which a person develops has a large effect on the cultural resources that a person will have. The cultural resources a person has obtained can heavily influence a child's educational success. It has been shown that students raised under the concerted cultivation approach have "an emerging sense of entitlement" which leads to asking teachers more questions and being a more active student, causing teachers to favor students raised in this manner. This childrearing approach which creates positive interactions in

4165-404: The extent to which children born into different families have different life chances and outcomes. In a 2009 study, The Spirit Level: Why More Equal Societies Almost Always Do Better , Wilkinson and Pickett conducted an exhaustive analysis of social mobility in developed countries . In addition to other correlations with negative social outcomes for societies having high inequality, they found

4250-630: The family a child is born into. Today, the gaps seen in both access to education and educational success (graduating from a higher institution) is even larger. Today, while college applicants from every socioeconomic class are equally qualified, 75% of all entering freshmen classes at top-tier American institutions belong to the uppermost socioeconomic quartile. A family's class determines the amount of investment and involvement parents have in their children's educational abilities and success from their earliest years of life, leaving low-income students with less chance for academic success and social mobility due to

4335-532: The former Livonia and Enfield provinces in North America. At the 1994 General Chapter, a proposal passed allowing the sisters to wear an alternate habit consisting of a brown, black, beige or white skirt, blazer, suit or jumper along with a white blouse. Sisters wearing the alternate habit wear the Felician Crucifix along with the ring received at final profession and may wear it with or without

4420-435: The frequent firing of African Americans. In this case, African Americans experience racial inequality that stunts their upward social mobility. A 2019 Indian study, found that Indian women, in comparison to men, experience less social mobility. One possible reason for this is the poor quality or lack of education that females receive. In countries like India it is common for educated women not use their education to move up

4505-600: The greatest mobility, while the two countries with the high level of inequality— Chile and Brazil —had some of the lowest mobility. In Britain, much debate on social mobility has been generated by comparisons of the 1958 National Child Development Study ( NCDS ) and the 1970 Birth Cohort Study BCS70 , which compare intergenerational mobility in earnings between the 1958 and the 1970 UK cohorts, and claim that intergenerational mobility decreased substantially in this 12-year period. These findings have been controversial, partly due to conflicting findings on social class mobility using

4590-440: The health selection hypothesis states that health determines what social stratum an individual will be in. There has been a lot of research investigating the relationship between socioeconomic status and health and which has the greater influence on the other. A recent study has found that the social causation hypothesis is more empirically supported than the health selection hypothesis. Empirical analysis shows no support for

4675-400: The health selection hypothesis. Another study found support for either hypotheses depends on which lens the relationship between SES and health is being looked through. The health selection hypothesis is supported when people looking at SES and health through labor market lens. One possible reason for this is health dictates an individual's productivity and to a certain extent if the individual

4760-415: The ladder, the high socioeconomic status parents have the necessary resources and opportunities to ensure their children also remain in same ladder rung as them. In East Asian countries this is exemplified by the concept of familial karma . Social mobility is highly dependent on the overall structure of social statuses and occupations in a given society. The extent of differing social positions and

4845-610: The ladder. At the top rung of the ladder, mobility again decreases. A 2006 study comparing social mobility between developed countries found that the four countries with the lowest "intergenerational income elasticity", i.e. the highest social mobility, were Denmark , Norway , Finland and Canada with less than 20% of advantages of having a high income parent passed on to their children. A 2012 study found "a clear negative relationship" between income inequality and intergenerational mobility. Countries with low levels of inequality such as Denmark , Norway and Finland had some of

4930-509: The later years. Mixed housing is the idea that people of different socioeconomic statuses can live in one area. There is not a lot of research on the effects of mixed housing. However, the general consensus is that mixed housing will allow individuals of low socioeconomic status to acquire the necessary resources and social connections to move up the social ladder. Other possible effects mixed housing can bring are positive behavioral changes and improved sanitation and safer living conditions for

5015-439: The link between social origins and access to top class jobs. In the US, the patterns of educational mobility that exist between inner-city schools versus schools in the suburbs is transparent. Graduation rates supply a rich context to these patterns. In the 2013–14 school year, Detroit Public Schools had a graduation rate of 71%. Grosse Pointe High School, a whiter Detroit suburb, had an average graduation rate of 94%. In 2017,

5100-607: The low socioeconomic status residents. This is because higher socioeconomic status individuals are more likely to demand higher quality residencies, schools, and infrastructure . This type of housing is funded by profit, nonprofit and public organizations. The existing research on mixed housing, however, shows that mixed housing does not promote or facilitate upward social mobility. Instead of developing complex relationships among each other, mixed housing residents of different socioeconomic statuses tend to engage in casual conversations and keep to themselves. If noticed and unaddressed for

5185-530: The lower upward social mobility of the middle class and/or low class . Conversely, the upper class is known to be self-reproducing since they have the necessary resources and money to afford, and get into, an elite university. This class is self-reproducing because these same students can then give the same opportunities to their children. Another example of this is high and middle socioeconomic status parents are able to send their children to an early education program, enhancing their chances at academic success in

5270-601: The lowest quintile than the highest as an adult (43 percent versus 4 percent). And, a child born to parents in the highest quintile is five times more likely to end up in the highest quintile than the lowest (40 percent versus 8 percent). This may be partly due to lower- and working-class parents, where neither is educated above high school diploma level, spending less time on average with their children in their earliest years of life and not being as involved in their children's education and time out of school. This parenting style, known as "accomplishment of natural growth" differs from

5355-573: The manner in which they fit together or overlap provides the overall social structure of such positions. Add to this the differing dimensions of status, such as Max Weber 's delineation of economic stature, prestige, and power and we see the potential for complexity in a given social stratification system. Such dimensions within a given society can be seen as independent variables that can explain differences in social mobility at different times and places in different stratification systems. The same variables that contribute as intervening variables to

5440-624: The mental ability test (based on the Moray House tests) was 87,498. They were between age 10 and 11. The tests covered general, spatial and numerical reasoning. At midlife period, a subset of the subjects participated in one of the studies, which were large health studies of adults and were carried out in Scotland in the 1960s and 1970s. The particular study they took part in was the collaborative study of 6022 men and 1006 women, conducted between 1970 and 1973 in Scotland. Participants completed

5525-414: The mobility of a person in comparison to the mobility of others in the same cohort. In more advanced economies and OECD countries there is more space for absolute mobility than for relative mobility because a person from an average status background may remain average (thus no relative mobility) but still have a gradual increase in living standards due to a total social average increasing over time. There

5610-475: The past thirty years. These differences persist and widen into young adulthood and beyond. Just as the gap in K–12 test scores between high- and low-income students is growing, the difference in college graduation rates between the rich and the poor is also growing. Although the college graduation rate among the poorest households increased by about 4 percentage points between those born in the early 1960s and those born in

5695-574: The point of the story is to show that even in her childhood Mary was completely dedicated to God. However, it is from this very account that arose the feast of Mary's Presentation." The feast originated as a result of the dedication of the New Church of the Theotokos , built in 543 by the Byzantines under Emperor Justinian I near the site of the ruined Temple in Jerusalem . This basilica

5780-431: The poor, the upper and lower class, continues to increase as more middle-class people get poorer and the lower-class get even poorer. As the socioeconomic inequality continues to increase in the United States, being on either end of the spectrum makes a child more likely to remain there and never become socially mobile. A child born to parents with income in the lowest quintile is more than ten times more likely to end up in

5865-579: The provincial house in Kraków on October 10, 1899. Mother Mary Angela Truszkowska was beatified by Pope John Paul II in 1993. The Felician sisters came to the United States in 1874, at the invitation of Rev. Joseph Dabrowski, pastor of St. Joseph Parish in Polonia, Wisconsin . There they taught in the parish school. Eventually some relocated to Detroit, MI, where they taught school starting in 1880 at St. Albertus 's school. By 1900, they were responsible for

5950-511: The rest of the population works for subsistence living. Social mobility can also be influenced by differences that exist within education. The contribution of education to social mobility often gets neglected in social mobility research, although it really has the potential to transform the relationship between people's social origins and destinations. Recognizing the disparities between strictly location and its educational opportunities highlights how patterns of educational mobility are influencing

6035-409: The same datasets, and partly due to questions regarding the analytical sample and the treatment of missing data. UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown has famously said that trends in social mobility "are not as we would have liked". Along with the aforementioned "Do Poor Children Become Poor Adults?" study, The Economist also stated that "evidence from social scientists suggests that American society

6120-533: The shrine of St. Felix of Cantalice at a nearby Capuchin church. They were popularly referred to as Felician sisters. In 1857, she and several associates took the Franciscan habit. In 1869 health problems caused her to withdraw from administration of the Congregation. She spent the next thirty years on assignments in the garden and greenhouse, tending flowers for the chapel and in the liturgical vestment sewing room, embroidering altar cloths and chasubles. She died at

6205-445: The social ladder due to cultural and traditional customs. They are expected to become homemakers and leave the bread winning to the men. A 2017 study of Indian women found that women are denied an education, as their families may find it more economically beneficial to invest in the education and wellbeing of their males instead of their females. In the parent's eyes the son will be the one who provides for them in their old age while

6290-469: The social status a person has. Two ideas concerning the relationship between health and social mobility are the social causation hypothesis and the health selection hypothesis. These hypotheses explore whether health dictates social mobility or whether social mobility dictates quality of health. The social causation hypothesis states that social factors, such as individual behavior and the environmental circumstances, determine an individual's health. Conversely,

6375-700: The story (such as the Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew and the Gospel of the Nativity of Mary ) indicate that Mary was taken to the Temple at around the age of three in fulfillment of a vow . Tradition held that she was to remain there to be educated in preparation for her role as Mother of God . In the Eastern Orthodox tradition, this is one of the days when women named Mary ( Μαρία in Greek) and Despoina ( Δέσποινα ) celebrate their name day . The account of

6460-1081: The style of middle-class and upper-class parents, with at least one parent having higher education, known as "cultural cultivation". More affluent social classes are able to spend more time with their children at early ages, and children receive more exposure to interactions and activities that lead to cognitive and non-cognitive development: things like verbal communication, parent-child engagement and being read to daily.
