I have noticed that I have a lot of privelages, and I could probably go on and on about privelages. A lot of these privelages will play a part in my research of my subculture. First off being a white male. People usually do not think of African Americans as hunters, and when they usually hear of them talking about guns they may first think of them shooting someone. Also i have the privelage to have a vehicle. This maybe one of the most important privelage. How am I going to go to a culture site without a vehicle. I am also allowed to go into this culture site and ask to interview people without having to worry about breaking a law doing so. Some countries you would maybe not be able to go into a place and ask for an interview. I am also privelaged to be able to attend Ball State University. I would not be exploring a subculture and learning about how stereotypes come into play if I was not attending this college. Living in Muncie, I feel pretty safe. I have lived here my whole life so I am not worried about a crime being commited on me. If I maybe asked the wrong person for an interview or if I offended someone I don't really have to worry about someone coming after me.
