Cricisms of Cultural Capital

Question: Discuss about theCricisms of Cultural Capital. Answer: Introduction The current events are put forward into the future events by Bourdieu. It is systematically incorrect because the future is unknown and it is uncertain thus relying on education as an asset in the future can be detrimental. Low class pupils are not into certain options reason being that they are for higher class individuals as in the current times. The current affairs are incorporated into the education curriculum which is not always right because the affairs will not repeat themselves in the near future. The concepts that are used are not well defined and hence there is no justification because examples of the concepts such as positivity in life are not well developed. Science and language are the concepts that are not well defined in the context; instead he argues for these concepts and brings in positivity which does not exist in any way. Education capital is a vehicle of social reproduction because it increases knowledge among individuals in a society and also to harness developm ent in areas such as cultural awareness. Critics on the Bourdieu Article Regarding Cultural Capital" The concept of habitus is in theory form incoherent in that Bourdieu is not precise enough about the conversion of natural resources. The education certificates and the respective credentials which currently exist in the education system of the 21st century are not described properly. It is informal and uses informal techniques in generalizing facts which in real sense is not applicable onto the academic qualifications. Kelly said these arguments are considered as mere scientific theories which have no proved into the reality of the life (Samson, 2005, p. 190). The resources are converted in a formal way and thus making them to be utilized in the education system. Cultural capital favors only the rich student who has managed to attain a higher level in the education hierarchy. It discriminates against the less abled individuals who do not have the resources to put into the education and thus invest. The low class students are known to stay away from specific options in the curriculum of education which are set aside from the majority poor students. They are set aside for some few individuals who are presumed to belong to a certain class. The society creates an assumption that some people are more important than others whereas this is not the case because all human beings are equal irrespective of the position held in the society. The educational credentials may not be so important to be able to secure certain privileges in the community as the cultural capital suggests. The qualifications of education are a weak form of currency and do not remain relevant in all fields. Some people do not recognize that particular type of education or the units that are undertaken in university level or college. It have been justified that wealth is transmitted through the means of the same disregarded education. Cultural arbitrary is not well defined in the cultural capital perspective and the hard work is perceived as not being natural by Bourdieu. The low students work with no pay, the achievements are too much worked for by the students hence they are not natural as they may be compared to others who make it without much struggle. As opposed to what he states that that low class pupils will not follow the demands imposed by the examiners. The pupils in this category have the fear of being disqualified from any paper because they have worked extra hard to let it go just like that by a mere irregularity. They follow rules and all the exam demands as compared to the low high class pupils. High class pupils have got an attitude of not caring and they carry this attitude with them into the exam room and end up not attaining the prescribed demands of the examiner. The concept concentrated on pupils from the university level as analysis of their behavior which is far much different from the low class pupils. The primary and secondary schools are exempted in undertaking the research with regards to compliance with examination rules. The primary schools follow the steps as required by the bodies examining them in the nation that they are being conducted. Truth is not justified by a single discipline as the capital structure depicts because some subjects such as art and craft do not aim at truth but seems to have entertaining nature. Arbitrariness remains a point of conflict in that Bourdieu fails to provide a clear meaning of the world arbitrary in his context, However the cultures tend to differ and the use of a common feature is not applicable as it have been undertaken in the content. Habitus means the attitude that are inherent in education where individuals are known to have positive attitude towards education while others have a negative attitude which makes the difference with a bigger margin. A sophisticated grasp of language is disadvantageous and does not benefit the pupils in any way because it tends to mislead them, the exams are written with the same language which is not standard. Lower class pupils do not have the cultural resources enough to enlighten them on the education and to be utilized in activities that will be of great help to them. The concept of Habitus is not operationalized as the writer suggests. There exists a conflict between conflict and structure and by trying to solve and eliminate the issue that is in sociology. Habitus is brought about as a concept to cure the problematic issue in relation to the sociology. Individualism is found in the researchers work that has been cited by the owner of the content capital structure. He makes an attempt to harmonize factors that are not similar or related in any way to make them one. The researchers are out of the blues and they do not make use of the social mobility. Bourdieu fails to mention the researcher because he knows what he is trying to justify is not correct and ignores the concept of structuralism. A credible mobility researcher cannot fail to mention the reference of the researchers as the writer does. This is done intentionally to cover up an assumption in an attempt to protect him thus this brings messiness in the work. Jake argues that working class students drop out of their studies as compared to the lower pupils (Robert, 1999, p. 178). High class pupils are focused however this is not true because these students who are working especially from the university level have got seriousness that education deserves and they are always focused because they are aware of what they want to achieve. The pupils who are working get finances from their employees and sponsorships to cater for the expenses of their education. Success is personal thing and it cannot be shared among all the pupils in class thus if person succeeds it does not mean that all of them are going to make it in that particular subject. Habitus is generated by conscious individuals who are aware of the motive behind their actions and works towards achievement of their success. Mallow said that the current events are put forward into the future events by Bourdieu (George, 2001, p.123). It is systematically incorrect because the future is unknown and it is uncertain thus relying on education as an asset in the future can be detrimental. Low class pupils are not into certain options reason being that they are for higher class individuals as in the current times. The current affairs are incorporated into the education curriculum which is not always right because the affairs will not repeat themselves in the near future. The concepts that are used are not well defined and hence there is no justification because examples of the concepts such as positivity in life are not well developed. Science and language are the concepts that are not well defined in the context; instead he argues for these concepts and brings in positivity which does not exist in any way. Education capital is a vehicle of social reproduction because it increases knowledge among individuals in a society and also to harness development in areas such as cultural awareness. Conclusion Education credentials are not always mechanisms of social reproduction due to ignorance among people and despise. The university students have a high level of ignorance that even the lecturers have not been addressing themselves hence the issue is overlooked. Martha said occupational advantage is associated with education credentials as it is not in line with the theories that are discussed in the chapter (Fellix 2007, p. 99). Inherited property and other advantages such as occupational puts individuals a mile ahead than others despite that the learning process is used as a measure of how rich a person is in the world.
