Bourdieu's Social Capital

Bourdieu's concept of social capital refers to the resources and benefits individuals gain through their social networks and relationships. It includes the connections, trust, and shared norms that can provide support, influence, or opportunities. For example, knowing influential people can help access jobs or information, while having strong community ties offers support and solidarity. Essentially, social capital is about the value derived from who you know and how well you are connected within social circles, influencing your chances in various social and economic aspects of life.
