When I went to the mall I could tell the difference between the different groups like subcultures and countercultures. I think I was able to tell the difference because when you go to the mall you want to go with people that you are friends with and like the same things you like want the same things that you are shopping at the mall for.

WHAT SU RPRIS ED ME FR OM THE O BS ERVATION …

I was surprised that I herd just as much Spanish being spoken as English. Also I was surprised at how many people had up to date cell phones. For example Older people use to not really use cell phones or care about them but now they have the newest phones too like the Iphone or a smartphones. I think that in a couple years their will be all kinds of new technology that people cant wait to get their hands on.
