Culture as a group
can be defined in more than one way. Our ideas and perceptions are framed by
how we think about culture and the different elements that make a culture whole. It has also been described as a form of
conflict and disagreement. It is normally a group of people who share a similar
pattern of behavior as well as mindset/attitude. It is a broad definition that
focuses on more than one aspect of communication.
The group I have
chosen to research as a culture is Ravers. I have not found a more appropriate
word for this group, but know I want to focus on the culture that attends
techno concerts and listens to dubstep music. Examples of places you may find
this type of culture is at a Pretty Lights concert, DayGlow, and other
big festivals in the dubstep world. The group of people can be
identified by their brightly colored clothing, accessories, and dance moves.
This group is a
culture because they have a way of life. The individuals in the group have a
certain way of doing things and act a certain way when in the environment of a
Raver and in their element.
I plan on studying
this group by using various interpretive methods. The first method I will use
is quantitative methods. I will gather information via interviews with Ravers
that I know, and also experience things like concerts and other events
firsthand. Furthermore, I will do oral interviews using a video camera to film
and question Raver candidates. Finally, I will use the rhetorical approach and
analyze text and other research.
