Subculture

"No culture can live, if it attempts to be exclusive. “ Mahatma Ghandi



Subculture, http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/topics/Subculture

This article explains all about subcultures.Subcultures are groups of people with some underlying similarity, whether it be race, religion, or interests. It says that the study of subcultures is a lot of times crossed with the study of symbols attached to the members of them.
On the outside, a regular person see's this group of people as foreign, different, and often view them with thinking of certain stereotypes. My approach to showing my post-soviet subculture, is not to stereotype, but to open this community to the outside world to view, relate, and experience.
