According to Bourdieu’s habitus is a mind-set which enables people to deal and interact with the social world. It is the mental structure and internalized schemes by which man perceives the world. It is acquired and established in a person as a result of the long term experience and exposure to a certain position in a social world. People have different habitus as it is determined by their position in the social structure of the society. Habitus exists as a framework but people don’t just respond to it mechanically (Bourdieu 2013, p.186). Bourdieu suggest that habitus produces and it is at the same time produced by social world of man. External structures are internalized by people then externalized again through practices. In the chapter Bourdieu strives to merge subjectivism and objectivism. He also examines constructivism which involves social beginning of schemes of thought action and perception. He depicts the construction and development of objective sets with regard to how people construct and perceive their individual social world without ignoring how construction and perception get constrained.
