    cultural capital

    Explanation:

    Cultural capital is a collection of knowledge, behaviors, and skills that a person can tap into to exhibit one's cultural competence and social status. Cultural capital is having assets that give us social mobility. The assets can be tangible or/and intangible. They are not related to any financial measure. Cultural capital falls into three categories: institutionalized (education or specialized knowledge), embodied (personality, speech, skills), and objectified (clothes or other belongings).
