[FEMINIST] Argued that peer pressure differs between girls and boys, which influences their social norms. She found that girls who are believed to be sexually available are likely to be labelled 'slags'. Therefore, girls in her study tend to conform to expectations of appropriate behaviour in order to protect their reputation, while for boys the position is reversed and they need to establish their heterosexual credentials, or risk being seen as a wimp or gay by his male peers. |

Paul Willis |
[MARXIST] His study of 12 working class 'lads' in a Midlands comprehensive school found that their subcultural norms were in fact ideal in preparing them for a world of work they would enter later. He found a number of similarities between the attitudes and behaviour developed by the boys in school and a shop floor at work. Having a laugh was important in both situations as a means of dealing with boredom, authority and repetitiveness. They rejected school and mentally prepared themselves for a place in the workforce and invariably at manual level. They learnt to put up with boredom, had a laugh and basically accepted the labour of low-skill and low-pay jobs. |

The styles of these youth subcultures represented a form of working-class ideological or cultural resistance to ruling-class hegemony (i.e, cultural dominance). |
