Answer to Question 1

Recent research has suggested that American elites are becoming less snobbish and are increasingly behaving as culturalomnivores. Cultural omnivores demonstrate their high status through a broad range of cultural consumption, including consumption of high-status culture, such as ballet, and consumption of low-status culture, such as country music. American elites today are more likely than average Americans to consume not only high culture but popular culture as well. It is a sign of distinction to have wide-ranging tastes.
