- Inequalities between adults and children
- March of progress sociologists argue that adults use their power to protect and care for children.
- For example: For the benefit of passing laws
- Firestone and Holt: What M.O.P sociologists view as protection and care is actually a new form of oppression and and control.
- Example: Protection of paid work is not a benefit to children but a form of inequality as it is a way of forcibly segregating children, making them more dependent, powerless and subject to adult control than previously.
- Believe in "child liberationism."
- Child liberationism: the need to free children from adult control
- Adult control takes 5 forms
- Neglect and abuse
- Control over children's space
- Control over children's free time
- Control over children's bodies
- Control over children's access to resources
