Meet Me at the Point?

To those who don't attend or work at SHS, this may look to you like just a building with rather weird architecture. This is a picture of a place that we call, "The point." Everyday my mom picks me up at the point. when I ask her to pick me up I say, "mom can you pick me up at the point. This all ties into the idea of subculture, which is a group of people within a culture. Other examples pertaining to SHS are, the patriot (never walk on the patriot). The ILC, the PAC..etc... To anyone who doesn't know what these acronyms are, you are not dumb, just not apart of the subculture commonly known as SHS.
Here are some more examples of subculture

God Grew Tired of Us

Progressively through the last few weeks in sociology, my class has been learning about Culture Shock. As I had already defined in my last post, culture shock describes how you do things in one particular country could be looked at as surreal in another country. This week we had watched the documentary God Grew Tired of Us, which is about a several Sudanese adolescents & children who were forced to leave there country due to war. through funding, many of the Sudanese get the opportunity to move to the united states. The documentary displays what it is like for these newcomers & how much culture shock affects them. One of the Lost Boys as they are formally named, even stated that he can not wait to see what electricity is like. It is truly a remarkable film. The documentary gives you an in depth understanding of culture shock and how it effects people who have never experience America.

Culture shock

At first glance do you know what this is? if you guessed a dog toilet, like I had originally, you are mistaken. That happens to be a toilet that is used in Japan. This is simply known as culture shock. Anyone who has not been to Japan would look at this like and be confused.
The reaction that you seize from my previous paragragh is what is commonly known as "Culture shock". This is where something so normal in ones particular culture, like for example in the United States all toilets look similar to this model:
This is only one aspect of culture shock. Things like, the use of the middle finger in the U.S. which in China is the pinky finger and in Italy is making a circle with your index finger and your thumb.
