Refer to Sugarman’s account of working class subculture on page 95.
Read the following statement and identify how Sugarman’s four key features of working-class subculture are illustrated. There are more than you think!
‘I might be under a bus tomorrow, so what’s the point of waiting? I want to enjoy myself now. I’d much rather go out and have a good time while I can, not do lots of extra work. I’ve got no chance of moving up in the world anyway – things are stacked against me. Working hard for tomorrow is for fools. The only way I’m likely to improve my position and wages is by standing together with my mates against the bosses.’
