Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a person moves from one social stratum to another, their access to cultural capital (e.g. education, knowledge, skills, cultural tastes) may change as well. For example, a person from a working-class background may have less exposure to high culture and less access to elite educational institutions compared to a person from an upper-class background. This can impact their ability to navigate and succeed in the new social stratum they enter.
