Merci beaucoup!

en adoptant ses dispositions


Explanation:
(Suggestion)

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Bourdieu

"Par le concept d’habitus, Bourdieu vise à penser le lien entre socialisation et actions des individus. L’habitus est constitué en effet par l’ensemble des dispositions, schèmes d’action ou de perception que l’individu acquiert à travers son expérience sociale. Par sa socialisation, puis par sa trajectoire sociale, tout individu incorpore lentement un ensemble de manières de penser, sentir et agir, qui se révèlent durables. Bourdieu pense que ces dispositions sont à l’origine des pratiques futures des individus."
