Document Summary
Active reading: the main argument developed in the section physical capital and. That is to say, how the characteristics of a social environment can have an impact in the individual body and behaviours. That is somehow determined by class and social and economic capital. The relationship between physical capital and social status can create barriers to social growth. In fact, the body can have an impact on the production of the identity and power in the society: both nature and culture play an important role on the identity, which is reflected by the body. This section of the essay gives as an example the limited and inhibited way in which girls have to move, as a response to a learned physical orientation. Those responses may seem as natural biological variances, when they are in fact simple signs of cultural differences.
