Readin Blog 8
Based on the reading from Ch. 8, try to explain the difference between counterculture and subculture. Provide one picture of each and explain why they should be considered as representations (at least one full paragraph).
A counterculture is a group of people that contradict or challenge society. They are groups such as feminist and activists. These groups go agianst the government and make somewhat of a negative statment at that time. While on the other hand a subculture goes against social norms they are different. They are making a non-aggressive statement. Such as the clothing they wear or what they represent. These groups are popular among younger generations.

I feel you did a good job with the pictures so well done. I'm guessing the guy suppose to be a Guido. I didn't know anything about the subculture until Jershey Shore came to MTV. The Feminist is a good one because women had to fight for their rights and people made a major problem with it
ReplyDeleteI think that you did a good job looking at the different aspects of both countercultures and subcultures. Both of your examples are good because they display the direct difference between the two different types of groups.
