Subculture Essays

Cell culture is an in-vitro technique of cultivating cells under controlled conditions and in sterile conditions. The technique was first developed by Ross Harrison in 1907. During the process of cell culture, the cells are detached from their tissue of origin and segregated from each other, either by mechanical or enzymatic means. The detached cells are then transferred before culturing them in cell culture plate or flask. The first generation of producing cell through this method is called primary cell culture. The cells from the primary culture are transferred to a new culture plate with a fresh medium to ...

Concept of cultural competence nursing

Changing demographics in most nations require that nurses offer culturally competent care. Due to diverse populations, medical professionals have started to address the essence of creating a way to promote cultural competence in different healthcare situations. Primarily, cultural competence involves creating an appreciation of a person’s existence, consciousness, notions, and situation without permitting it to have an inappropriate effect on people from different backgrounds. Additionally, cultural competence demonstrates understanding and comprehension of the patient’s culture, embracing and accepting cultural diversity, and personalizing care based on the patient’s culture (Flowers, 2004).

Human sexuality refers to the capacity for one to have sexual feelings. It can be expressed in differently including same-sex relationships, heterosexual interactions and even relationships among different partners.

INTRODUCTION

Criminal justice professionals and academics work to understand why some people engage in criminal behaviors and others do not. In other words, what makes a criminal into a criminal? There are many theories that have been developed to explain deviance or criminal behavior. Some believe that criminal behavior is a choice and are deserving of consequences, while others argue that some offenders are predispositioned for it; they are not entirely responsible for their actions. Two of those theories worthy of discussion are Social Control Theory and Subculture Theory. Social Control Theory argues that people turn to deviances and criminal ...

Even if music can be viewed as a universal language, music still differs from society to society largely due to the culture in which that specific music is associated in. In other words, every separate human society has their more or less unique variant of music, which contributes to the characteristic of their culture in general. For example, Latin Americans are commonly associated with Latino music, the hip-hop genre and the blues was commonly credited to the black culture, among others. One particular popular music of interest is the one that came from the Caribbean Islands, particularly the island ...

Now and then there has always existed a phenomenon of prejudice or prejudgment, i.e. an unduly opinion towards a particular group of people or even a person based on general idea but lacking plausible information. A prejudice can be both negative and positive. In the first case, a hostile attitude is formed towards some people or process. However, a positive prejudice is unreasonable but favorable attitude. The bases for prejudgment may vary greatly: it can be religious affiliation, life style, social class, profession or occupation, hobby, nationality or ethnicity, language and gender, age, etc. As noted by Gordon Allport ...

The Elements of Feminist Media and their Relationship to the Movie The Punk Singer

“Tougher and more lethal than any man, more beautifulthan most women, warrior women in thongs fused feminism and femininity in a fantasy reconciliation between the fury of Riot Grrrl and the body politics of Cosmo.” –Douglas, 2010a, p. 78 The above quotation made by Susan J. Douglas highlights the fact that feminism has had to change how it presents itself to the mainstream. The quotation implies that the strong, hard-core feminist is now being required to soften her outside image with her femininity and sexuality. The author made reference to the Riot Grrrl underground movement, ...

Response to Question 1

The height in meters above Sea Level at the Point of observation is 960 meters MSL equivalent pressure MSL equivalent pressure also abbreviated as pMSL pMSL = pobs + pgzobs It is important to acknowledge that p is the density of air at the point of observation and g is the acceleration due to gravitational force and z is the height at the point of observation. In this case, p (density of air at the point of observation) = 1.2041 kg/m3; while g (acceleration due to gravity) = 9.81m/s2. The height in meters (z) at the observation point is 196 meters.

Taking these figures into consideration, pMSL will be attained as indicated below;

pMSL = 1.2041 + ( ...

In this paper we will look at how the 1970s and the early 80s showed a resurgence of interest in painting. This was a result of suppression of visual pleasure that was present at the time in the dominant art practices of the 70s. There came up a movement of painters who came up with the neo-expressionism style that advocated for the freedom in painting, a style that became really popular with the people (Sandler, 1996). It started in Germany in the 60s spread through Europe and then America. So as to study this movement well, painters like Jean-Michel ...

 Why professional bicyclists have recently been descending hills at greater speeds.

Pedaling is a compound sport, which involves competitors, who must compete with a diversity of approaches, numerous environmental factors, and roughness on the ground. The operation on high grounds is an essential ascertaining victory factor in the leading international cycling tournaments. The main forces that a bicyclist must prevail over are; the gravity and air resistance. Air resistance rises exponentially with momentum. When pedaling from a smooth road to an ascending hill, the reduced speed lessens the air resistance to a level where leading other riders offers little benefit. Smaller bicyclists, who prefer to have a higher authority to ...

Sex and sexuality is one of the most important issues pertaining to women and gender studies. While sex refers to an individual’s gender, sexuality refers to an individual’s expression as a human being, which begins at birth and continues until death (Weeks 9).

In other words, sexuality constitutes an individual’s values, attitudes, behavior and knowledge, and is mostly influenced by the family, culture and society.

Hebdige in his publications argues that the styles of youth subcultures challenge dominion, hegemony as well as social norms. It does this through symbolic forms of resistance which include music and clothing (Hedbige 408). In particular, he lays focus on the evolution of styles in sub cultures. These styles include rockers, punks as well as skin heads. Often, they are treated as threats to public order. Although Williams’ approach lays focus on the concept of ‘subculture’ theory as a viable way of analyzing collective identity, his analysis differ significantly from Hebdige’s approach. This is particularly evident when it ...

Question 2: Definitions of Subcultures

Undoubtedly, no particular cultural studies texts have been widely read than the Subculture books written by Dick Hebdige in 1979. Hebdige (121) defines and analyzes subcultures based on specificity and conjuncture. His definition indicates that subcultures arise from symbolic and communal engagements with a larger form of industrial culture. They are expressed as the emergence of styles and not class or age. Modzelewski and Abramson (145) outline different definitions or ideologies of subcultures that arose from Chicago School Tradition, the Birmingham Center for Contemporary Cultural Studies and the Post-subcultural era. This essay attempts to understand how the definition and ...

History of Fashion

Dick Hebdige’s article “Subculture: The Unnatural Break” poses the matter of the role of subculture in a conventional society. The article indicates that media is presenting subcultures such as punk, as threatening to the traditional societal conventions, to the generally accepted sense of morality, lifestyle or fashion. The arguments that the author uses vary from references to the members of subculture as different individuals that create semantic disorders to conversion and the erasure of the “other” to social norms. The article depicts how media techniques are used to highlight a subculture as negative to social standards. Hebdige suggests ...

The lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer movement (LGBTQ movement) is one that has faced a long history of oppression and repression at the hands of society. It has only been very recently that the LGBT movement has gained some traction in society. It seems to be a trend, overall: when society begins to transition and change, groups that have been downtrodden rise up and force society to confront its inequalities and imbalances. The issue of slavery is one example of such an issue, but so too is the women’s suffrage movement and, in more recent years, the ...

There are different periods in the history of countries that play more or less significance roles. No doubt that First and Second World Wars immensely influenced the life and political situations almost in every country. These were the most disastrous event and their aftermaths were often disastrous too.

The period of the 60s is treated now as the time of innovations in culture, science, music and ...

Introduction

The Minoan Civilization was the forerunner of the ancient Greek culture which emerged from the island of Crete. The island of Crete was isolated from the rest of the Greek mainland by the Sea of Crete to the north and by the Mediterranean Sea to the west. The island with its mountainous rugged terrain and white sand coastal areas proved to be a great spot for international affairs and trade routes especially for the European, Africa, and Asia Minor merchants. Because of its isolated landscape, many scholars have proposed the existence of cultural interactions between Cretan civilization and those ...

Introduction

People, as social creatures, tend to unite in groups that have something common: they may have a similar system of values, behavior or lifestyle that is different from the dominant culture to which they belong.

This paper is aimed at analyzing subculture of punk, the role of media and style in punk youth subculture. From the perspective of cultural studies, a subculture is associated with a group of people that do not contradict against the values of traditional culture but ...

Police Misconduct1. What role does the police/corrections subculture play in fueling law enforcement misconduct?

Police subculture is a popular notion in law enforcement literature. According to Ortmeier and Meese (2009), police subculture is an important determinant of police behavior and attitude. The definition of police subculture is based on common attitudes, which are characteristic in a typical police department. The police subculture perceives the community in terms of violence and hostility; thus, the general reaction is to ensure secretiveness, supportiveness and unity in the police force. The conventional characterization of police subculture is based on attitudes, values and behaviors developed within a typical police department (Ortmeier & Meese, 2009). Whereas the police department has ...

I fought the law, and the law almost lost. I was born in Los Angeles flower garden on the wrong side of town. My earliest memories are scrabbling through refuse for food and clothing. One day I was casing a 7-11 when I saw another kid my age eying the candy rack. A thief knows a thief when he sees one, and this guy clearly didn’t know how to do the job right. I could see the Pakistani man who ran the place staring at him. His brow was furrowed, and I knew he was close to coming ...

Throughout history, Americans have been documented to have abused various drugs starting from precolonial times America as it is well documented that Christopher Columbus, the explorer that discovered America, found other mind-affecting drugs which he brought back to Europe on his first voyage to modern-day (Elaine, n.d.). However, until the late 1880s, prohibitionists and abstentionists had an easy time in addressing the drug abuse among the population, since all the supply point was known and easily identified. Nonetheless, the country failed to have a comprehensive legal framework that was engineered to address the drug abuse problem due to rapid ...

Most would respond with a jeremiad of grief if a loved one, especially a child, was afflicted with hearing impairment. One could argue that the general population has been afflicted with an acute perception of what it means to be deaf and, therefore, often respond to it with condescension, deliberately or unwittingly. The latter response being the norm, most of society is not aware that there is an aggregate culture of people who are fully functional and completely capable of achieving the same goals and dreams that a person who is not hearing-impaired can. Moreover, the notion of the ...

These beliefs towards the government or the political system that individuals of a given society develop are what are referred to as the political culture of a nation. The political culture varies from one nation to another. There are ...
