LESSON

CAPITAL FORMS
 The examples above are considered front liners whose lives are stake by the
Novel corona Virus.

When the situation happened months ago, everything turns out to be not
normal even the condition we are in. Every one globally feels the venom of COVID
19. This pandemic shock the world that created social and political changes in the
society we live in. Conflicts arises, current levels of tension around, people like them
suffered health issues as form of unequal opportunity to be given treatment. The
government portrays the major role in expanding subsidies to the people. What will
be the role of the social institutions like government in addressing the other issues
of Social Inequality? Social Inequality are patterns of unequal access to social
resources. Social inequality is the heart of sociology. Now, let us find out more on
this concept how social inequality in terms of its Capital forms that affects the human
society in this new normal condition.

In this lesson we will incorporate the three different forms of Capital in terms
of access to the resources and how these three be attributed as forms of Social
Inequality. Let us first define the word Capital, from the point of view of Pierre
Bourdieu, Capital is a force inscribed in the objectivity of things so that everything
is not equally possible and impossible. In other words, People with educational
qualifications has more access in Employment rather than those who have not.
Accessibility refers to the actual ways and means of availing the resources. In this
term of Accessibility one thing that the lesson is emphasizing is how the three forms
affects Social Inequality.

FORMS OF CAPITAL

1. Social Capital. Social Capital refers to the ability of a collective to act together
to pursue a common goal. For example, Mr. Henry Sy the owner of SM
Corporations, more of the profits will be given to him rather than of the
working force because Mr. Sy uses her leveraging technique to utilize people
in the company’s benefits which is the rule of the thumb in the Company. The
more the employees follow the Company’s goal the more they will be promoted
in a higher level. Mr. Henry Sy utilizes the three (Wealth, Power and Prestige)
that will be his advantage of getting richer rather than his subordinates.
2. Political Capital. It is in the context of local and national has been observed
dramatically in this level especially in the Philippines. There are politicians
who are new blood captures the masses because of their innate personality to
be trusted by the people. Their reputation as public servants influenced more
 especially in this Pandemic time. Their major role to serve the people give them
a convincing power that politician is a public trust. The more that people
trusted politicians that would be their edge to mobilize the access to political
capital.
3. Symbolic Capital is resources that one possesses which is function of honor,
prestige or recognition or any other trait that one values within a culture. A
very special component to possess by an individual to access opportunities in
the society through ascribed status or since birth an individual deserve the
rank or position because it assigned for him or her to be the leader. Others
may not access to be the next leader because it is culturally bound.

Max Weber- German sociologist and political economist known for his

relationship thesis about Protestantism to capitalism and bureaucracy. Ethics from

their belief system applying in business means good management style.

Pierre Bourdieu- French Sociologist, emphasized the power of positioning in a

social network as greater advantage over people.

Wealth- is Material Capital is a

Prosperity force inscribed
Power-Political or the objectivity
Social authority of things so
that
Prestige – Respect everything is

for someone due to possible and
his achievements- impossible-
Max Weber Pierre
