Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

Answer: Co-cultures are diverse smaller groups within a culture, distinguished by, but not limited to, such factors as age, gender, sexual orientation, race, mental or physical abilities, religion, political affiliation, education, occupation, or economic status. Sample student responses might include examples, such as the social media site Twitter. This co-culture uses Tweeps, messages of 140 characters or fewer and keyword symbols the norm.
