Voting based on the issues at hand. Contemporary canadian society as a collective consensus of spirituality/religion. May blend different spirituality ex: yoga and church. Defining ourselves by what we buy ex: nike, audis etc. Early hip-hop and heavy metal articulated a dissent of society (critique of capitalism, inequality etc. ) today their dissent has been commodified in that it is used to sell products.

This advertising is harming emotional and physical wellbeing (obesity) Cultural capital: parents offer this to their children (educational qualifications, fine/elite culture, cultural and linguistic strengths) Ex: golf, sailing, travel, languages, theatre, linguistic strengths, knowledge of wine, fine dining, art, symphony, ballet, classical music (the finer things in life) These skill sets help get these children ahead compared to other children.
