Our subculture was Gamers. Some information about gamers is of course they play video games ALOT and sometimes they also do it as a job. The reason why we chose this subculture was because we both play videogames and have a good understanding of them. Hisotrical examples for videogames are when the first gaming console came out in 1940, also the first visual game ( Video Game ) came out in 1961, and the first arcade game that lead the way for video games in 1972. A modern day example is when Call Of Duty at was introduced at the X-Games last year and it is now a sport in the X-Games, and another example is when the Xbox 360 Came out in 2006 along with the first Online Gaming. Famous people who play are Faze Temprr and Optic hex.
We watched and read about Ellis island in New York which allowed anyone from Europe and Angel island in San Francisco which allowed people from Japan and China to come into america. I'm going to tell about some things that surprised me. One thing i was surprised to learn about is how differently they were treated in almost the same conditions People in Ellis island were treated alright when they came they were asked questions about were they came from and what there parents did and after that they were tested for sicknesses and other things and then if they passed they were allowed into America . And in angel island the building were wearing down and they were once again asked questions but kept for a long time in horrible cells basically and were kept there for weeks after that they tested for sicknesses and even if you passed you had a very slight chance of getting though into america in some years they only let up to 1,000 people enter america from angel island because we were fighting the Japanese and people coming to angel island were Japanese.
Geography is different Locations of places and regions, and political boundaries that impacted your family in one way or another. One way geography affected my family is were we came from, we came from Germany this impacted us because we still have some customs from Germany today, when we go to my great grandparents house on Christmas and we eat German foods and have some German Christmas decorations in there house. Another way is we lived in Forest Park, Illinois, That has shaped my life in many ways because it was were i first lived and its the first home i knew as a kid and also that's were my dad still works to date and it also were we meat my dads employer and my godfather Carl.
