Rules Of The Game #12: Jocks And Burnouts
Aug. 23rd, 2007 05:52 amMy latest column, where I try to justify my nonstandard use of the word "class."
The Rules Of The Game #12: Jocks and Burnouts
I'm curious if you think the social map that Eckert provides and the social dynamic that I identify (the basic form being "jocks vs. burnouts" [w/ different category names in different times and places], but there being an unsettled effect when a third group, the "freaks," appears in strength) have anything to do with the situation at the high school you went to. If not, what was the social map? Also what sort of map(s) would you apply to situations you've been in after high school?
Oh yeah, and here's another chance for you to help me figure out what the hell it is I'm trying to say about Elvis.
