The embodied state:
The embodied state is the long-term trajectory of society member’s internal emotions and attitudes (Bourdieu, 2011). Embodiment is a process in which a member of society internalises the social energy around them and then externalises it in a reproduction of culture. It is a cumulative process in which many factors attribute to the embodied state (Bourdieu, 2011). The embodiment of cultural capital really derives from the reproduction by the society of the habits and continuing behaviour of the society. As part of the analysis of the alcohol consumption patterns of New Zealanders this state is critical in demonstrating why society holds the behaviours it does today. History is the underpinning factor in this state …show more content…
In this regard the theoretical approach of cultural capital is effective because it examines how the difference in education can affect the cyclic nature of cultural reproduction of behaviours. New Zealand on the whole has a considerable wealth gap this can affect the out come of attitudes towards alcohol consumption. Particularly this wealth gap can be linked to education of the population. The disparity within the intangible cultural flow can influence how individuals perceive and react to the consumption of alcohol as a result of symbolic interaction with the substance and social infrastructure. Cultural capital isn’t necessarily directly linked to money, however cultural capital can be converted in physical money when one exchanges a skill or good. The result is in fact cyclic in nature, cultural capital feed economic capital, one can improve their social energy through education through economic capital and thusly increase their cultural capital.

Those in the lower socio-economic sections of society at at a disadvantage from birth from the theoretical point of cultural capital which explains some of the possible causation of their attitudes towards alcohol In New Zealand there is a large wealth gap, there are those who are very well off and those who live below the poverty line. New Zealand has a large income inequality gap that has grown considerably since the 1980s. The richest 10 percent in New Zealand own five times as much wealth as the poorest 10 percent (Inequality: A New Zealand Conversation, 2017). There is a difference ergo because of these disparities within the society; there are those who are wealthy and have had every advantaged offered to them, for example in terms of education, extra-curricular activities, travelling etc.; and then there are those who were raised in poorer areas, received a poor education and few opportunities for extra-curricular activities and travel. The result of these two very different set of circumstances in which to reproduce attitudes towards alcohol
