Cultural capital | Abdulrahman Al Shaqir

The culture of a person in its broad sense in their daily life is a capital that can be invested, saved, and accumulated profits, and it is the gateway to success or failure in the social interaction market... similar to capital in the economic market. The writers focused on establishing the importance of developing the human self from a collection of theories and concepts by Pierre Bourdieu, one of the most important sociologists of the twentieth century, through which he sought to deconstruct daily life and analyze the behavior of ordinary people, with new concepts such as: symbolic capital, habitus, re-production, and practical sense... and studied these theories and concepts by applying them to youth in three Saudi universities: King Saud University, Imam Muhammad bin Saud Islamic University, and Prince Sultan University, and concluded that cultural consumption is the true alternative to superficial consumption.
