Cultural deprivation

Cultural deprivation

Cultural Deprivation is a term referring to the absence of certain expected and acceptable cultural phenomena in the environment which results in the failure of the individual to communicate and respond in the most appropriate manner within the context of society. Language acquisition and language use are commonly used in assessing this concept.[1]

Proponents of this term argue that the culture of the people in the working class (regardless of race, gender, ethnicity and other factors) is inherently deficient and different from the middle class.

According to this theory, this deprivation results in the working class remaining always poor and unable to leave their class to higher classes.
