Capital cultural

Cultural capital refers to the non-financial social assets that individuals carry, which can influence their social mobility and opportunities. This includes knowledge, skills, education, language, tastes, and cultural norms that are valued within a society. For example, speaking a certain way, knowing art or music, or understanding social etiquette can give people advantages in social or professional settings. Cultural capital is acquired through family, education, and social experiences, and it helps explain why some individuals have certain privileges or face barriers based on their cultural background.
