McNamee and Miller note that "the possession of cultural capital is generally claimed as 'evidence' of individual merit." Why is this idea inaccurate? Only members of elite social groups can recognize cultural capital, so most people would simply be unaware of this so-called evidence. Cultural capital rarely coincides with material success and only has to do with a sense of belonging to a specific group. Cultural capital is often the result of familial socialization, and this is a form of cultural inheritance, not individual achievement. Cultural capital can only be gained through concerted effort and therefore has little to do with economic resources. What does it mean to say that class is an ascribed status? Social class primarily refers to a person's attitude. Social class is a status people choose dependent on their work ethic. Social class primarily refers to often inherited economic, cultural, and social capital. Social class refers to how much capital one attains.
