Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cultural capital refers to the knowledge, skills, and cultural experiences that a person possesses and that can be used to gain advantage in society. Appreciation of music and ballet is an example of cultural capital as it demonstrates a familiarity and proficiency with high culture and can be used to gain social and economic advantages. Money and financial resources (choice B) are examples of economic capital, while the networks someone can access (choice C) are examples of social capital. The ability to pay for college (choice D) is not a clear example of cultural capital, as it could potentially fall under economic capital (if the person obtained the funds through financial means) or human capital (if the person gained the skills and knowledge necessary to secure scholarships or financial aid).
