| Abstract: | Modern society is structured as a social hierarchy, with individuals of higher status enjoying various privileges. Many theorists have attempted to quantify this hierarchy, and one contemporary theorist, Pierre Bourdieu, proposed viewing hierarchy through an individual's possession of three intertwined forms of capital: economic capital (material resources), cultural capital (educational level), and social capital (social networks). Research has also shown that different social classes vary in their parenting views. This study examined whether differences exist between two population groups in Israel--kibbutz residents and urban dwellers--in their parenting approaches, as viewed through the lens of Bourdieu's three forms of capital. To investigate this phenomenon, we conducted a qualitative study involving in-depth interviews with 30 participants: 15 individuals residing on kibbutzim and 15 living in urban areas. The findings reveal significant differences in the parenting approaches of each group, which may contribute to widening social inequalities and reinforcing existing gaps within Israeli society, particularly between these two community types. |
