Ch. 5 Perspectives
This reading showed me the importance of getting different perspectives in your study because not everyone in your subculture is exactly the same. There are always stereotypes in all kinds of subcultures but they aren't all true. You have to have an open mind and be able to let the different perspectives show in order to get it all right when you write your paper. When interviewing different people you will get different information from each of them. Some information will be the same but some of it will be different because every person has a different perspective on their subculture as well.

Perspectives are a key thing to look at when doing a study over a subculture. The different perspectives make up how that group works. Someone might see something one way and someone else might see it a different way. Those perspectives can lead to people not liking each other or not getting along. That could cause a rift in the subculture by splitting it between those two people. When interviewing people I find it best to ask close to the same question for each person. This allows you to get a different POV from each person.
