Influence of Youth Sub-Cultures on Awareness of Social Status and Role in Society

Abstract

The author explores the ways belonging to subcultural communities contributes to the development of a critical attitude towards dominant social norms and promotes the search for alternative models of social behavior. Particular attention is paid to a philosophical analysis of the phenomenon of subcultures as spaces of social reflection in which young people can rethink traditional social roles and status hierarchies. It also considers the ways in which subcultures influence the development of self-consciousness in youth and strategies of young people’s social adaptation.
