Answer:

Cultural capital

Step-by-step explanation:

In sociology, the cultural capital or cultural assets of an individual are the social assets of the individual(style of speech, education, dressing, intellect etc) that facilitate and promote social mobility in a stratified society such as we see in societies that classify individuals into upper, middle and lower classes. This is seen in the above example where Christopher is able to meet different upper class individuals because of cultural capital(education)
