Document Summary
Founded by those working in chicago at the ime. Rouine habits and acions that make up sub cultures. Best way to understand is to observe them. Emerged in the 20s the roaring 20s/ 30s. Fought for beter working condiions/ beter wages and equality for woman. Problems with the reform: blaming the vicim, crude medico- psychological arguments, strong xenophobic tendencies- blamed for own poverty. Less imes judging more ime trying to understand normal experience for these people (wasn"t their fault) American dream failed = those people who joined subcultures, goals, values and ideals. Acceptable means which are either consistent or not with americans. Chicago- studied the micro- interacions, relied on broad economic forces and the explanaions were inconsistent with evidence. Middle class = civil service, university is important, home ownership. Counter school- ani authority serve as a defense mechanism. Seize- alcohol, cigaretes and fashion/ laziness (work as litle as possible) Pushes them into the very jobs they don"t want.
