Week 4

So far I haven't officially observed my subculture. I'm going to do that this weekend, so right now I can't make any specific conclusions. However, I definitely think that geography does play a huge role in the behaviors of my subculture. The only other Fossil retail store in Indiana is located in Castleton. That's not too far from Greenwood, but the store is completely different. Even though the employees are mostly Caucasian, the Castleton store is more diverse than the Greenwood store. The Castleton store is also much larger than the Greenwood store meaning that they have more employees. Having more employees means that the workers aren't as close to one another. I don't think that different religions will affect the different stores. The employees at the Greenwood store have religious beliefs ranging from Pentecostalism to Athism. Those different beliefs haven't really had much of an impact on the relationships or the subculture as a whole.
