The aim of this paper is to examine the dominant role of educational system in the modern society by clarifying the concept of "cultural capital" proposed by Pierre Bourdieu. For this purpose, we firstly made clear how the "cultural capital" is formed from ordinary "pratique" by analyszing four aspects of "habitus". We then described three states of specific cultural capitals, and we argued that each of these capitals is based on "value of rarity" and becomes more or less a cultural capital in the institutionalized state (or, alchimie proprement sociale). And finally, we made clear a mechanism by which the distribution of cultural capital is controlled through a state-regulated examination system.
