is der a difference betw SUBCULTURE & PEER GROUPS?? if yes, wat is it?

Question

can u giv me examples??? thanx!

Answer 1

These definitions are from my sociology book

Peer Group - a group of people who are linked by common interests, equal social position, and (usually) similar age

Subculture - a group of people who share a distinctive set of cultural beliefs and behaviors that differs in some significant way from that of the larger society

example: a bikers club is a subculture, hip-hop is a subculture, cat lovers can be considered a subculture

a peer group on the other hand are people that you interact with at school or in your neighborhood or in a club that you are a part of that has the characteristics that are a part of the definition above.

I hope this helps you. Be Blessed!

Answer 2

In general a peer group is a collection a people with similar demographic information, they are the same age, from the same area, or apart of the same organization and such, like the people in a classroom, or friends in a neighborhood.
They are related because of facts about them.
A subculture is a collection of people with similar habits, beliefs, dress, slang. They maybe from different parts of the country, ages or races, but they are united by some mental aspect of how the define themselves. Hippies, Goths, Emos, Punks, and such maybe be considered a subculture.
One problem though is that some maybe be defined and categorized by people outside of the subculture rather than those within, such as some people don't see a distinction between Emo, Scene, and Goth, while those who consider themselves as one of those may not consider themselves a part of the other two.

Answer 4

None. I can't imagine any human social phenomenon in abscence of, or, negation for ego ideal; the formation for ego ideal needs human others, for self choice or chosen for other (others choice/selection).
