During an ice storm, people in one neighborhood banded together and shared the home of a neighbor who still had power and heat
Other neighbors provided food, water, and bedding. In another neighborhood the neighbors did not know one another and weathered the storm alone. Both neighborhoods are part of the same community. What characteristic did the people in the first neighborhood share that made them a subculture that those in the second neighborhood lacked?
A) Belief in the value of cooperation
B) Religion
C) Socioeconomic status
D) Geography
Ans: A
Feedback:
A subculture may be large or small, clustered together or scattered, but its members share some cultural facets such as experience, belief, language (or lingo), practices, and values. The only common characteristic that the neighbors in the first neighborhood had with each other that the neighbors in the second neighborhood lacked was a belief in the value of cooperating with one another during the storm. There is no indication that they were of the same religion or socioeconomic status. People in both neighborhoods have geography as a common characteristic.
