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.
Answer:
Children who spend just 15 minutes or more a day watching their favourite cartoons on television may be at an increased risk of losing their creative minds as compared to those who read books or solve jigsaw puzzles, a study says.
There was clear evidence that children came up with less original ideas immediately after watching television,"said Sarah Rose, Lecturer at Staffordshire University in Britain," although adding "these effects disappeared after a short time."
However, "if children are less creative in their play, this could, over time, negatively impact their development," Rose said.
There is a belief that slow-paced programmes are more educational but our findings do not support this, Sarah said.
In the study, the team looked at the immediate impact of television on three-year-old's creativity. They compared children who watched -- Postman Pat, with those who read books or played jigsaw puzzles.
The children were tested for throwing up maximum original creative ideas.
The study is potentially useful to those who produce children's television shows, early year educators, as well as parents.
The findings were presented at the British Psychological Developmental Conference in Belfast, recently.
