Answer 1

Bourdieu points out that institutions separate those who have participated in them from those who have not, perpetuating social divisions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pierre Bourdieu, a noted French sociologist, extensively studied the establishment and reproduction of social classes through the concept of cultural capital. When considering Bourdieu's point about rites of institutions, the correct answer is that institutions separate those who have undergone them from those who have not. Bourdieu's work suggests that institutions can create and perpetuate social divisions, because the educational system reinforces the dominant culture's values. Such institutions are often accessible and beneficial to those who already possess the corresponding cultural capital. This could lead to a cycle in which the educational system rewards the dominant culture while others may struggle to succeed because their social class provides them with different and often less recognized forms of cultural capital.
