Subculture

Police Subculture The police subculture is much the same throughout all the law enforcement careers throughout the world. The police subculture is a distinctive set of beliefs, values, attitudes, and behaviors that are shared amongst the majority of officers working in law enforcement organizations (Malmin, 2012). The subculture is taught to new recruits from the first day they arrive at the academy to the last day. This subculture follows them from that point on throughout their career in law…

Kwan Yi Lam SS1A 10/22/2015 Reflation paper 2: Subcultures In the class lecture video, Durkhinam et al. defines a society to be a multiplex network of human relationships and who share a common culture. It indicates that the society shapes an individual and thus within the society, an individual develops a certain identity. In this situation, the paper seeks to examine the deaf culture.

My first understanding of subculture is that it is considered as deviant, the anti-mainstream. Nothing more nothing less. Since it bears negative meaning, I mostly think subculture as troublesome. However, Hebdige’s discussion in his book Subculture: the Meaning of Style enriches and for the most part is able to provide a complete overview on what subcultures are.

Now, before I lose you with the absurd image of Mill with a blue mohawk consider this, the punk subculture that emerged in the mid-1970s was characterized by an anti-establishment attitude with a vehement focus on individuality. This is not accusing Mill of being an anarchist, as so many punks were. It is apparent from his writings that he very much recognized and advocated for the necessity of a governing entity.
