  Article:   YOUTH CULTURE - A SHORT INTRODUCTION.

Authors:  MIHAI MIRCEA ZDRENGHEA. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  A subculture is noticed by the public eye because it usually breaks with an established order. Often associated with youth subcultures, non-conformity implies a rejection of the pre-set values of a traditional society. Contemporary life, especially in an urban context, is deemed to be extremely stressful and human personality may be affected to a high degree. Competition, job-hunting, ideal family patterns and the ubiquitous presence of firms advertising their products may bring about a sense of confinement and lack of freedom. The young people’s reaction to such constraints may be a refusal to be committed and experimenting with drugs may assist one to escape and challenge traditional concepts of career, education and morality. The article tries to analyse the causes that led to drug use in Great Britain and presents the current situation.
