Both Napoleon and Wellington had aspects that made one another better leaders in war and politics, but I believe overall that Wellington was the more exceptional leader. Wellington, although paranoid and distrusting, was smart, respected, innovative, and fearless, which in retrospect dominated his inadequate aspects. Everything Wellington did was in the interest of his own country and those he conquered, doing what was best for everyone. Although he did not have full control over his country, he had respect, influence, and honor, which he proved he would rather have than power.

The Marxist conception that the material basis of human life is determinant of all other societal spheres, is contingent upon the human creative capacity for production. Perceiving man as “at all events a social animal,” Marx regarded history as the union of the social relations of production and the mode or techniques of production, culminating in the superstructure of society (Capital 444). From his account of history as the succession of “social formations,” characterized by antagonistic class structures and their respective modes of production, Marx interprets economic factors as the primary causal constituents of social life, that money binds human life and society altogether. Max Weber, however, contended that the rise of industrial capitalism could be rationalized by an emphasis on the ideas manifested particularly in the Protestant religion. He underscored the moral values and norms which pervaded Protestant societies and the reciprocal process by which religious ethics are swayed by economic and social catalysts and vice versa. Weber thus fostered a more dynamic conception of modern capitalist society, where ideas, namely the spirit of capitalism, rather than economic preconditions theorized by Marx, were instrumental forces in examining the origin of the capitalist system, how it evolved, and how it manifested itself into its present form.

When discussing subcultures it’s important to establish what a subculture is to be able to correctly identify a specific subculture and differentiate it from a main culture. An example of a main culture or parent culture could be the most prominent culture of Great Britain, which would be its development from an island to a civilized prospering democratic country. The main culture that is associated with Britain that separates it from other cultures is that it is seen as a liberal democracy. The main religion associated with British culture would be Christianity, and most people would generalise British culture to be drinking tea, eating scones and having a particular “posh” accent. These small characteristics are what cultures are made of

Culture has a paramount influence in everyday day life from the way people dress to way people gather food to how someone greets others.

Looking at the big picture, subcultures and countercultures are both cultures that have their own values and norms. They are both capable of being a culture within a culture.

Another characteristic of a subculture is the language/jargon used by its members. Language can refer to the way its members walk, talk, carry themselves, the slang words used, etc. Within my gymnastics team there was a lot of language we used that set us apart from other subcultures. The technical terms used in the sport of gymnastics is one of the obvious language barriers because only those who are familiar with the sport understand the terms and their meanings. The way gymnasts carry themselves also sets them apart from others. An example of this is when I was on the track team, a coach pointed out that I ran like a gymnast. Although I was not with my teammates or talking about gymnastics, the way I ran was an indicator of the subculture I was associated with.
