Bourdieu's "The Logic of Practice"

Bourdieu's "The Logic of Practice" explores how people's actions are shaped by ingrained habits, social norms, and unspoken rules—what he calls "dispositions." These are developed through life experiences and social environment, influencing behavior without conscious effort. Bourdieu argues that our choices are not purely individual but are deeply rooted in social contexts that predispose us to act in certain ways. This framework helps explain how social inequality persists, as people's habits and perceptions are formed by their social class, guiding their perceptions and actions in a way that reproduces existing social structures.
