Cultural capital is the ideas and knowledge of people who rely on and participate in social life. Everything from the rules of custom to the ability to speak and write successfully can be considered cultural capital. Cultural capital is actually exactly what it sounds like and it makes sense to me, most people don't realize they have it, but it is a part of everyone and sometimes even gives a person a social flexibility allowing them to have confidence in everything they do. Certain traits of cultures are considered superior and those who have stated these characteristics have a greater chance of succeeding within the culture. I would like to observe not only the forms of cultural capital that I possess, but also those that I do not possess. I believe that these countless examples of cultural capital will have a great influence in my life. To begin, let's just assume I'm looking at the capital I own, contrasting it with the capital I don't own. First of all, I'm a man. I have the opportunity to be hired for a job, to be promoted over the course of a career, or to be responsible for any position within the workforce, based on the fact that I am a man. It can also be said that due to my gender as a man, I can aspire in life, because most of the time I would be favorable to receive any type of rewards and also to be placed in high positions. But when it comes to a job as a babysitter, I'm probably not able to get the job because my gender may factor into the decision process since the stereotypical male is presumed not to not educate themselves like women, so that subjects me to gender. and cultural biases where I would receive unequal treatment in matters of employment opportunities such as promotion, salary, benefits or privileges, and expectations due...... middle of paper ..... .ely and directly convertible into money and can be institutionalized in the form of property rights. When I stated that I went to high school, the students and I also had a similarity which was being "well endowed" as cultural capital, cultural capital is fluid and can be supported by economic capital to develop a cultural community, for example, the more money I have. the more likely it is that the community I am involved in will be equally financially endowed and can be institutionalized in the form of degrees; and as social capital entering a company or organization, I stated that I came in contact with one of the alumni of my local high school who worked for the company or as a senior manager in that organization. I am hired and the cycle begins. still making me the central figure of economic capital, giving me a title and prestige.
