Q1
A case study describes Maya, whose parents immigrated and work hourly jobs. Maya earns high grades and is admitted to a selective university. During her first semester, she learns that many classmates already know how to navigate office hours, unpaid internships, and networking events because their families have experience with professional workplaces. Maya works 25 hours per week to pay expenses and declines an unpaid internship that later becomes a strong signal for competitive job interviews on campus. By graduation, she has a job offer, but it is from a smaller employer with lower starting pay than many peers with similar GPAs. Which scenario best demonstrates the concept of social reproduction?
