| Summary: | Oscar Lewis has observed that the culture of poverty has some universal characteristics which transcend regional and national differences in a number of sociological areas, including value systems. This observation was tested and confirmed by the application of a weighted standardized test of values to a limited sample of the three social classes in Lima and Chicago. The data further indicated that the generalization is applicable only to the lower class, for with each upward step on the social class ladder, cross-cultural value differences increased. |
