Worksheet 2 –Summarising, Paraphrasing, Quoting, and Referencing
Answer 1: Ability of students have significantly higher impact on their educational result when
compared to impact of socio-economic backgrounds (Marks & McMillan, 2003). Students from
better socioeconomic background excel in education when compared to students with similar
abilities. Socio-economic backgrounds and ability of students affect their educational outcome
4

and result which also affects their future profession. However, the impact of these factors on
education has lowered over the years.
Answer 2: The concept of ‘Habitus’ extends beyond the idea of individuals mimicking the
actions of their inspirations or getting prize and penalties for specific actions. Penalties and
prizes are covered in the field of behaviourist socialization. Habitus is depended on subtle
discourses. This is achieved through social exchanges, norms and organizational expectations as
these components inform individuals about areas of social and emotional importance (Germov,
& Poole, 2020).
Answer 3: Student culture in the current age is developed on the foundation of stylishness or
looks based hierarchy where specific brands denote elitism and absence of specific branded
products leads to student being labelled as poor. The label of ‘poor’ was avoided by students
belonging to lower economic status (Archer, Hollingworth & Halsall, 2007).
