Downward Mobility is a specific form of social mobility. It pertains only to those progressing down the economic slope instead of following the general "upward" trend. Downward mobility is a rather unspoken phenomenon in the United States. This is demonstrated by the lack of rituals to commemorate events that correspond with a slip down the social slope. For example, to celebrate upward mobility, Americans utilize rituals such as: Graduation Parties, housewarming parties and award ceremonies.
