What are the main differences between subcultures and countercultures? Please provide examples of each.
What will be an ideal response?
Varies, but should identify the main difference between subcultures and countercultures as a level of agreement with dominant culture. Subcultures more or less accept much of dominant culture, but are set apart because they are different in some culturally significant ways. Countercultures are also different in a culturally significant way, but they hold beliefs or values that may be incompatible with the dominant culture. Examples given in the text of subcultures include the LGBTQ community, Hispanics, Tea Party, Hasidic Jews, hip-hop fans, youth, Muslims, Mac/Apple users, Harley riders, and people devoted to any number of hobby groups and lifestyles, such as gamers or skateboarders. Examples given in the text for countercultures include hippies in the 1960s, antiwar activists, computer hackers, voluntary simplicity movement, and antiglobalization activists.
