Step-by-step explanation:
Allison J. Pugh is a renounced Professor of Sociology at the University of Virginia. She is the author of the famous book, "Longing and Belonging: Parents, Children, and Consumer Culture".
Alison Pugh introduced two very important concepts of "symbolic deprivation" and "symbolic indulgence" that she has discussed in her famous book. Alison Pugh during her study research found that both wealthy families and low income families shares some common similarities and differences among them.
She learned that children from the affluent families have the same toys and shares some similar experiences as those with children growing in the low or medium income family.
In affluent or wealthy families, parents implemented a form of "symbolic deprivation" by pointing to experiences and goods that their children did not have.
Similarly, Alison Pugh found that parents with low-incomes practices a form of "symbolic indulgence" by making considerable sacrifices sometimes just to make sure that their children have certain goods or experiences. Often the children's needs are given more priority than the parent's requirement.
