Cultural Capital

SUMMARY

In this content, we present striking data that can be associated with the cultural capital of Turkish society. Although mapping cultural capital requires much more comprehensive data sets, we considered it important to obtain some data related to cultural capital in addition to economic and social capital. We examine individuals' English language proficiency levels, their practices of traveling abroad demonstrating their openness to the world, their habits of participating in cultural activities that determine their daily life patterns, and their music preferences, which are the most aesthetic expression of social belonging, all of which are among the most concrete indicators of cultural capital in a globalized world. We investigate how cultural capital in Türkiye differs according to age, gender, education, lifestyle, and income groups:

• Do you speak English?
• Have you ever traveled abroad, including for Hajj and Umrah? If so, how and how many times?
• Which of the following activities did you do in the last month?
• What kind of music do you listen to?
