English Box #11

The subculture that I have tentatively chosen is HOBY. HOBY stands for Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership. HOBY is a leadership camp, that focuses on teaching young people leadership skills and volunteering.  I chose this subculture because it is one that I am very familiar with, and have had a passion for. I am confident that I will be able to collect the right information to be able to convey my subculture. In this subculture, my fixed positions won't affect much of what I am able to see or do. The only fixed position that might affect my research would be my age. Being female or my race and beliefs, will not be a problem, because at HOBY we welcome anyone and everyone. As to subjective positions, I may be partial because I've been involved in HOBY for almost 4 years now, so I may have a hard time getting the "outsiders" view on the organization. I also carry the subjective position of knowing how much I enjoy HOBY and volunteering.
