Research Blog #10
The problem that was researched and discussed throughout this paper was about how the class divide plays a crucial role in the idea of cultural capital and how it affects the information deficiency of low-income and first generation students. In order to properly research and understand this topic I used 10 scholarly sources to provide examples and back up the argument I was making. As a result of this research and knowledge, I have found that the federal and state governments need to step in to provide students and parents with the ability to find and use information to make well-infomed decisions about colleges and universities.
