Given below are two statements. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Statement I:Communication, culture and power are inter-related.

Statement II:Socio-cultural values, when communicated, do not have any weightage of power.

ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true

BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false

CStatement I is true but Statement II is false ✓ Correct

DStatement I is false but Statement II is true

Correct answer: (C) Statement I is true but Statement II is false

Explanation

Statement 1 is true while statement 2 is incorrect, so only the first holds.

Statement 1 is sound because communication, culture and power are indeed inter-related, each carried in and shaping the others.

Statement 2 fails because socio-cultural values, once communicated, do carry weightage of power, since sharing values asserts and spreads influence.

The second sentence severs the very link the first establishes, denying power to communicated culture.

Reading the second as true would break the tie that binds communication, culture and power together.

Bourdieu's notion of cultural capital shows how communicated cultural values translate directly into social power.
