Week 6.1 Culture and Subcultures

Chapter 4 talks about Culture and Subcultures. The authors mention that the members of a subculture identify themselves with a distinct group within the larger culture, interact regularly with this group, and often share perceptions and understandings of central problems.

While reading this I was trying to think how this is at work. I was initially part of one group in IT and then transferred to another group last year. Even though there are a lot of things in common, there were some clear differences in the way the took groups look at certain things. Most of the things are directly related to the work we do and how we prioritize the work we do. Each group has a different perception on which is important and have their own definition of which is more important.
