Almost all parents want their children to have better education and higher income than themselves when the children grow up. In Singapore as well as in other open societies, many parents have seen their dream come true. Intergenerational upward mobility is common today. While both family and society welcome this trend, it is relatively unknown how intergenerational upward mobility affects the family-child relationship. Reflect on your own experience and talk to your friends or colleagues who have been through this process (achieved significant social mobility) to shed some light on this question.
2) You should analyze the narratives given by your respondents rather than reporting them mechanically. You can refer to the supplementary reading for ideas on how to analyze qualitative data systematically.
3) If and when you cite your personal experiences, refer to yourself by the first person pronoun “I†or “me†rather than “the authorâ€.
4) You should look at both objective facts about the quality of parent-child ties (e.g. how often they see each other and spend some quality time together) and how your respondents think and feel about the situation.
5) You should examine if there is any variation in the strength of the parent-child bond in your sample and explore what factors may account for the differences.
6) Ensure that you use appropriate sociological theories and frameworks in your analysis.
