Question

Rodeo, a popular animal-riding sport in Texas, draws huge crowds every time it is organized. However, there are others among them who view the sport as encouraging animal cruelty and hence they stage protests to ban this sport. These people come together and form groups to further the cause of safeguarding animals. Such groups are an example of a(n) _____. a. universal cultureb. macroculturec. subcultured. collective culturee. mainstream culture

Answer 1

Answer:

c. subculture

Explanation:

The notion of subculture is quite common in sociology and anthropology. The concept is used to refer to a generally minority group of people with a set of characteristics of their own (behaviors and beliefs) that represent a subdivision within a dominant culture of their community.

In texas, most of the population is positive about rodeos and they see no harm in doing them, in that region the part of the population that opposes rodeos is much smaller than the part of the population that supports it, so we can conclude that the population that opposes rodeos represents a subculture.
