In this project, we will examine stereotypes, subcultures, and countercultures. Stereotypes are individually or collectively held beliefs regarding the traits of individuals and cultures. Most often stereotypes are based on distorted facts and do not correspond to reality. Opinions can be pervasive and spread throughout society, thus, becoming a deep-rooted belief about a subculture or counterculture. We will examine the history of stereotypes/subcultures/countercultures and why society holds these beliefs.
PRESENTATION GUIDELINES:
You and your partner will choose a stereotype/subculture/counterculture and create a presentation using the following elements:
ELEMENTS:

You and your partner must share equal time presenting your speech. The speech should be 6-8 minutes. During the presentation, you and your partner will cover each of the elements researched. A visual aid is required with the speech.
