Question 7 • RYLE25 - PSYCHOLOGY - FULL CREDIT

Which of the following statements reflect the difference between a subculture and a counterculture?

Answer
A
The subculture has more control over member behaviors than a dominant culture.
B
A counterculture is not necessarily opposed to the beliefs or practices of the dominant group like a subculture is.
C
The dominant culture accepts the subculture as a part of its own culture but rejects the countercultures.
D
Countercultures outnumber subcultures in the United States.

Explanation

A subculture has its own norms or interests but generally exists within and is accepted as part of the larger dominant culture. A counterculture, by contrast, challenges or rejects important beliefs and practices of the dominant culture, which is why choice C best describes the difference. Choice B reverses these definitions.
