Document Summary

Society is how we are organized . it also defined as the people who interact in such a way as to share a common culture or social space. The cultural bond may be ethnic or racial, based on gender, or due to shared beliefs, values, and activities. Society can be formed within society such as a subgroup for example within the cities society you find school societies and in that society you find friend societies. Within the society there are rules and regulation to follow. In the university society it a social norm to come to school with clothes on. Therefore a society tells you what to do and tell you who is apart of it and who is not. Culture refers to the ways of life of the members of society, or of groups within a society. Also how they make meaning within the society or group. It includes how they dress, their marriage customs, language and family life.

There has been a lot of talk about web 2.0 and its impact on the economy. Airbnb was been experiencing a level of pushback not seen at others like Uber. The attached article talks about AirBnB allowing hosts to be selective/prejudiced when deciding who they will or won't rent to. There has also been a lot of talk about renting space in gated communities and if that should be allowed. People feel protected in these communities and are claiming that allowing non-vetted "quests" negates this feeling of protection. Is it fair to decide to turn private living space into a rental without taking into consideration the wishes of the others who live around you? Web 2.0 seems to be focused on circumventing the rules and regulations that society builds up over time. Concerns over privacy, safety, and how "workers" are treated all seem to be in the process of being bypassed. Is this web 2.0 or just another way for companies (not the workers) to make money without keeping to the norms of society. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/23/opinion/how-airbnb-can-fight-racial-discrimination.html

Society is changing constantly and families has different point of view of how to live their life or raise their kids. I think what we know so far as a family will change in the near future. Furthermore for my own personal experience I have seen great thing from the changes that have come over the past years to now and it was acceptable by the society however, People and society in general like good changes. My grandma at age of 13 yrs. old had kids and spouse and they used to stay home raising their kids and taking care the house, while spouse were working to bring food to their tablet and older kids in the household used to work to support their parent home too Versus now in 2016 that family are disintegrating, kids are isolating themselves from their family due to the technology and you see more divorce. I could imagine how family will be 100 year from now. I have seen that woman wants to be more independently and having kids is not their priority anymore because I feel that it wonât be no family 50 to 100 year from now. It will be a law that marriage couple are going to have 1 year marriage contract. I can say that many values come from our parents and most are very worthwhile and I pass those values to my kids and I would like to retain them, but Family values are different from culture to culture and tradition and there will be change by the time, based on these I could say that it wonât be moral and immoral activities 50 year from now. We are goings lose moral value and ethic and I will see population decrease causing higher dead and less birth because government will soon controlling family life by limit how many kids a marriage couple could have. Since technology offer a good and effectively way to keep in touch with family around the world, but I also think technology will also affect family in the household. However, technology is taking control when the one on one communication is falling apart. The social media preventing family from communicating and less interaction with family and the society wonât have too much talking. I probably happy to say that the only positive thing that I will see 50 to 100 year from now will be major diseases like Heart attack , diabetes and cancer will largely preventing by the time with new scientist and good technologies. As a family we need to know and stay focus of who we are, in what we personally think values stand for because our action wonât always stay of our deepest belief. There is gab between our life values, action and behavior and if we retain those values chances are that even though 50 year from now wonât matter how great the external rewards.

While culture refers to the way of life of a group of people, a subculture is a culture within a culture. A subculture is a social world that can be based on anything that draws individuals together and that has a distinctive way of life, as our textbook explains. Cosplayers, Red Sox fans, bikers, and hip hop fans are all examples of subcultures. Even the workplace can have its own subculture.

In this discussion, begin by selecting a subculture that you have learned about or to which you have had exposure. You may have learned about the subculture through television, through news coverage, or through your peer groups. Describe the cultural beliefs and biases of your chosen subculture, as well as some of their norms and taboos. Are there any positive or negative sanctions that one might be subject to for conforming to or violating a social norm?
