Post class

I thought the discussion we had in class about subcultures was very interesting. We pointed out certain terms that make up sub cultures. For example at Rollins we use Rcards and have Fox day. Anyone who is not a student at Rollins would not understand what these terms are. I had noticed this when my friends from home came to visit and I would ask "Have you seen my rcard?" and they would look at me like I had 3 heads. The term Rcard must sound strange to anyone else that is not a student here. I like the fact that we have terms that form subcultures because it brings all the students together at Rollins. Everyone here at Rollins has something in common. The Greek Life at Rollins also forms a subculture because it is a huge part of our school. Subcultures are formed without an effort. No matter where you live or where you work there is some sort of subculture formed between what you and the people around you experience and have in common.
