A Town Divided

Well in class this week we talked about alot of things, like culture differences, culture shock and especially sub-culture. After talking about sub cultures which is differences of a group of people compared to a larger culture they belong to, its basically just a culture with in a culture. Well, as i started thinking i realized something about the very town i live in. I live in a relatively large town and half of the town goes to one high school while the other goes to another. The line at which decides which high school is actually the county line (a main street). Well as i got thinking I realized that you don't really go to the other side of town at all, sometimes every once in a while we do. I realized that each side has all the stores, schools, hospital, and etc. that you need in a town. We rarely interact with the other town people. We are,basically each are own town we are a town with in a town, which in sociology terms we are sub cultures or sub towns. We are each part of one town but are divided by are differences because we go to different high schools, also one side of town in my opinion has higher economic statures then the other so that can be why we have alot of differences because we believe in and do different things. I think its kinda cool, also the people on the other side of town are kinda weird.

  1. Good Good. I liked that comment about the other side of town. I also find it interesting that not only are we different from people around the world, but were different from those right across town.

  2. Dude. I heard about this in class today. I agree with Oliver. Who knew the people next door can be more different from the ones across the world.
