Cultural studies theorists separate words' structure by using either capital letters or lower case letters to connote differences between real and conceptual views. By exercising what these letters stand for, readers can understand what side is being talked about (what point of view or what value the word has). For example: "women" are the real individuals, the ones who actually exist in society. Whereas, the word "Women" suggest the level of symbolic within culture delivering concepts of "Women" not necessarily real but rather views placed within discourse through cultural connotations. The upper case letter makes the word a proper noun, and it "elevates" it from the word to the concept and the ideological construction of that concept. We do this to point out the differences when we are talking about something. Whether the first letter is upper case or lower case gives it significance for its valuable approaches and demonstrations. It seeks to point out how reality differs from created cultural concepts.
