Habitus does not focus on our ways of ........................ .
Answer: D
Habitus does not focus on the rejection of belief and values.
In Pierre Bourdieu's theory, habitus is the system of durable, embodied dispositions that people acquire through their upbringing and social position. It shapes how they act, feel, think and perceive, usually without conscious reflection, and so explains why practices tend to reproduce the conditions in which the habitus was formed.
Acting, feeling and thinking are therefore exactly what habitus covers. Because it works by internalising the values and expectations of one's social world, its focus is on reproducing them, not on rejecting beliefs and values, which is why that option is the exception.
