Straight line assimilation theory explains the linearprogression of ethnic identities in families over time. Each generation of the family becomes more "American," and raises its social status higher than the previous. However, this theory does not allow for the variability of the economy in which the immigrants and their families work, nor does it allow for individual agency, and it ignores the possibility of multiple identities within the individual.
