            Cultural capital is a type of capital that every individual has. From the type of music we consume, the dances we enjoy, and the art pieces we appreciate, culture plays an important role with how we select these. Cultural capital plays a major role in connecting the artist's work to the art world. For this module's entry, my blog partner ( Mark Joshua Baloria ) and I decided that creating a concept map of the transcript "Bourdieu: Cultural Capital, the Love of Art & Hip Hop" would better encapsulate the major points of the said excerpt.          There are lots of problems when it comes to the concept of cultural capital.
