Document Summary

Pick a culture work from any time-period, any culture, and evaluate how the insights you collected help indicate the value of the object to the culture. The cultural work i chose is in the category of contemporary art called street art. I chose a piece of street art named mobile lovers" by banksey in 2014. We see two people in love with each other but can"t put their phones down, not even for one another, so maybe their love is not all that strong. They find the need to always put everything on social media and stay on it. People live completely different lives on social media than in real life, that their partners may not know about, they go behind their backs and can never tell because they are too distracted themselves. This mural truly shows a major problem in today"s generation.

While culture refers to the way of life of a group of people, a subculture is a culture within a culture. A subculture is a social world that can be based on anything that draws individuals together and that has a distinctive way of life, as our textbook explains. Cosplayers, Red Sox fans, bikers, and hip hop fans are all examples of subcultures. Even the workplace can have its own subculture.

In this discussion, begin by selecting a subculture that you have learned about or to which you have had exposure. You may have learned about the subculture through television, through news coverage, or through your peer groups. Describe the cultural beliefs and biases of your chosen subculture, as well as some of their norms and taboos. Are there any positive or negative sanctions that one might be subject to for conforming to or violating a social norm?
