Power Control Theory


Power – Control Theory Identifies that gender differences between boys and girls in the family and the way they are treated by their mothers and fathers at home display that parents shelter girls more than boys due to the fact that girls are guided away from trouble with the law by scare factors presented mostly by their mother. Boys have more lenient rules thrust upon them due to the fathers aspect of allowing boys to hold jobs and own cars in their high school years, while mothers prepare daughters for college and other forms of education to make life easier for them in the long run.

Two disadvantages of the Power-Control Theory are that the theory changes with economic differences in social class and it also changes between single parent families versus egalitarian families.

  Boys and girls should be treated equally between both parents giving them a chance to learn work skills and also giving them a head start with the ability to drive as long as it does not interfere with school work and social programs at school, allotting both girls and boys to have the same treatment of discipline keeping them away from crime. I also think that College or trade programs should be an automatic give me as long as they take it serious and try hard to make good grades.
