a. Max Weber
b. Karl Marx
c. Émile Durkheim
d. Pierre Bourdieu

Respuesta :

Answer:

d. Pierre Bourdieu

Explanation:

French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu saw how cultural capital results from the accumulation of knowledge, and social, and behavioural skills that make an individual demonstrate cultural competency, and possess a higher rank in society.

The education and knowledge gained forms  what he calls "social capital" which enables that person to move along deeper networks. By doing so, it will be able to gain further insight within his social context into a wider array of networks and an increase in its status.

The term was first published in 1973 "Cultural Reproduction and Social Reproduction," written by Bourdieu and coauthored by Jean-Claude Passeron.
