Assignment Overview
As Americans we are born into a dominant cultural narrative that helps understand what it means to be an American. While that may sound simplistic there is an American way of doing and being that is taken for granted — especially when it is violated. CULTURES share social traditions that may include language, social norms, beliefs, art, literature, music, traditions, pastimes, values, knowledge, recreation, mythology, ritual and religion.
On the other hand, within the main culture, specific variants co-exist — drawing down some facets of the dominant culture, while changing or rejecting other facets. We call these variants SUB-CULTURES.
Sub-cultures are self-organized community of shared interests, lifestyles, beliefs, customs, norms, style or tastes. They may surround a hobby, art movement, music scene, fashion sense, philosophy or lifestyle. Culture surrounds pervasive social groups such as a nation, community, religion, ethnicity or social class. For example Hip-Hop, Hipsters, Bikers, Emos, Gamers, Queer, Skaters, Cosplayers, Evangelicals, Jocks and Anime are just some of the sub-cultures active with America today.
