Cultural capital and intergenerational social mobility are important concepts in the field of sociology, which have significant implications for studying various sociological events and common phenomena in society. This article uses these two important concepts to study and analyze the actual case of news protagonist Percy, who hopes to work as a chef in the future but is obstructed by his family. Through case analysis, this article explores the cultural capital involved in this case and how it specifically affects the upward social mobility of individuals or families, and provides some sociological perspectives to analyze specific cases.
