Answer: Cultural knowledge that serves (metaphorically) as currency to help one navigate a culture

Explanation: In addition to knowledge, cultural capital also includes skills, education, speech style, intellect, manner of dressing and behaviour, etc., all of which make up the social advantages and assets of a person which promotes such a person within a layered society and contributes to that person's social mobility. This category also includes beliefs, adopted social values, manners, attitudes that are recognised as competent within a given culture. All these characteristics of the aforementioned cultural capital are acquired not only in the institutions but also by personal improvement, decision and a lasting commitment to further education, the acquisition of knowledge and all other mentioned characteristics on the basis of which a person acquires cultural capital.
