Subcultures Everywhere...

A subculture can be defined as a group with in a society that has its own shared set of values, customs, mores, attitudes, etc. A subculture can be organized by race, ethnic background, religion, age, occupation, and hobbies. SHS can be classified as a subculture because of the different mores, folkways, language, symbols, and values. Some of the values at SHS is getting good grades (doing AP classes), and going to college and knowing what you what to be in the future; where as someone who goes to a Chicago public school might just be concerned about graduating high school then worrying about knowing what they want to do and the college they would like to attend. A subculture that I am a part of is being Turkish. Both my parents are Turkish. Although I have different values than my parents and view the world wayyyy differently, I would still consider myself being apart of that subculture. A more, as a young women in my culture is to be basically be a servant. For example women are expected to pass out the food, make tea and pass it out, if were asked to do something we have to obey, cook, clean, do laundry. I don't like this at all. I have respect and if I am asked to do something I will but that's only if I'm asked. I find it wrong that women have to do everything around the house. Sometimes my dad says, "what kind of lady are you". And mentions how the way I am is because of America. I disagree with a lot of my cultures mores and values but I also agree on some. Subcultures are everywhere and everyone is part of many subcultures.
