The habitus of an individual is a durable training (derived in part from class origin and education and subsequently modified by eventual class membership) that is the product of internalization of culturally arbitrary dispositions (inclining agents to act and react in certain ways), capable of perpetuating themselves without being consciously coordinated or governed by any "rule," and capable of generating a multiplicity of practices and perceptions in areas other than those in which they were originally inculcated.
