SUBCULTURES
1) Band Geeks!
- Friends with every other subculter group within the high school scene
- Like all different types of music
- Comparing to the defintion from Mean Girls, "over sexually active band geeks".
- At lunch time, band geeks sit with other geeks...always the deliquents though.
- Different personalities, different styles, different backgrounds.
etc, etc.
2) Vegans
- What they eat and how do they get/make the food?
- Views on animal rights
- What they think of the "meat eaters".
3) The heavy church - goers or "Church Jocks"
- how often such people attend mass.
- how many holy books they have in their house
- how many times do they watch some religious channel on TV
- Only hang out with the Church clique.
( I could go on and on about this one)
- this particular subculture is strictly based off the life of my parents
i certainly do NOT wish to offend anyone who has their religion as a
major priority in their life.
PEER REVIEW
I thought that filling out the peer editing sheet was helpful. I enjoyed the comments that i received on my paper. But of course, i didn't understand some of the comments that were suggested. Thus, I think that it would be even more helpful if after everyone has filled out some peer editing sheets, go to the editors who made such comments and have them explain to the author as to what his or her intentions were. Like when it comes to finding sentences that don't fit or don't make any sense, i believe that the editor should be able to actually speak to the author.
DEFINITION PARAGRAPH
- my own topic: We Are America
Years ago, immigrants from all over the world seeked America's hand. America was proclaimed the land of opportunity and freedom - still is today. Til this day, thousands flock to America hoping that they will have the better life. But, the now brings forth other ideas. By the rest of the world, America is known as the enemy, a power hog, a country that is always trying to solve everyone else's problems. America tends to put the pimp or the moron into office. On the day of September eleventh, the unaware ignorance of America was brought to truth through shambles. America believes in spending more money while the economy is suffering. America is the Hollywood of the world.Ever since America was established, any kind of enemy has tried to shut America down - America has always prevailed in some shape or form; and somehow, since Gettysburgh America and her citizens have never turned on one another and have yet to surrender to its' enemies.
side note: Okay, so i don't hate america. That's just my definition!

Whassup, you don't talk about many of our values, way of life or that we are the richest nation. You did say it's the land of opportunity & freedom, and you mentioned people's viewpoints from other countries, it was very creative, well done, you tried to point out we don't give up and never will surrender but when I think of America I think of the flag and very industrialized cities, money, power and the military. Good job girl, you're an excellent writer.
Wow, all of your topics look really fun. Definitely don't know what you're talking about with the band geeks one though (is one), jk. I look forward to seeing what your research turns up.
i liked the ideas you came up with about the subcultures you would like to write about. i have no clue if the church goers is a subculture but why not. good luck with your paper
Emily-
As far as the paper topics are concerned, the first two are viable, but the 3rd is too vague. Instead, you could focus on a particular religion (maybe the ones your parents follow) and how their devotion is a reflection of that religion.
Haha, do band geeks!! Band geeks are the best =P
